The G7 covers every base, leaving no stone unturned in its quest for total market domination. If you were wondering which 1440p gaming monitor to splash out on, wonder no more. There's an argument to be made that a 4K resolution doesn't make a whole lot of difference at a 27-inch size, but Windows and macOS will scale their interfaces accordingly. We spent several hours writing up this review on the monitor, with no eye strain or fatigue at all.

Otherwise, you’re looking for whichever ports you need the most, whether that’s HDMI, DisplayPort or even VGA. You’re more likely to find USB-C ports on monitors built for office work. While the upgrade might sound appealing at first, it’s worth bearing in mind a couple of key caveats. The first is that this monitor is a bit more expensive than its lower-res sibling; the second is that at only 27in across the diagonal, the benefits of a 4K resolution are less pronounced than they are at larger screen sizes. Two further models in QHD resolution are the 32” AOC Q32P2CA and the 27” AOC Q27P2CA, which boast IPS panels and a 75 Hz refresh rate. Much sharper due to its smaller 27” panel, the Q27P2CA offers the optimal combination of size (27”) and resolution (QHD) for a large majority of users. It creates colourful, rich visuals suited for most applications, with an exceptionally wide gamut coverage (126.5% sRGB, 108.4% AdobeRGB, 100.8% DCI-P3) suited for graphic designers and content creators.

It also has four USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports (two on the side, two on the rear), a USB-B 3.2 Gen 1 port and a USB-C 3.1 3.2 Gen 1 port capable of carrying a video signal and supplying 65W of power to a connected device simultaneously. The AOC Q27P2Q is a FreeSync monitor, but it also works flawlessly with Nvidia’s G-Sync Compatible mode. Most productivity monitors do not offer Adaptive Sync, so this is a big bonus in our books. Input lag sits at a little over 9ms, so there is no need to worry about de-synced instances while gaming. Thoughts on the AOC Q27P2Q You will occasionally find 1440p VA LCD panels, particularly if you’re looking for cheap gaming monitors. These offer fantastic contrast and good colours but weaker viewing angles and higher response times than IPS.

Long story short: the 27-inch AOC U27P2CA wants to give you a 4K screen for your home office or your actual office for as little money as possible. It brings with it a number of useful features without dazzling in terms of its performance or the picture it produces. The AOC Q27P2Q offers 100% sRGB and 88% DCI-P3 coverage which is excellent for daily use, included editing for web content. The screen offers great accuracy out of the box since its deltaE average is limited to 1.30, so you won’t need to calibrate it right away. The screen already looks balanced by default, so you only need minor tweaks like adjusting the brightness before using it. Connectivity: HDMI 2.0 x 2, DisplayPort 1.2 x 1, USB-C 3.2 x 1 (DP alt mode, upstream, power delivery up to 65 W), USB HUB, Headphone out (3.5mm) The Q27P2CA is an extensive and complete solution for professionals that are looking for a productivity-focused monitor with rich connectivity and high-quality image. It features USB-C with 65W Power Delivery, 4 USB 3.2 and a 27” IPS panel with wide viewing angles and QHD resolution. This monitor is also gaming ready with Adaptive Sync that ensures effortlessly smooth action.The 27” AOC U27P2CA also employs a 4K resolution panel, but this time with an IPS panel. The extra sharpness due to the higher pixel density on a smaller frame size and the increased colour accuracy make the monitor truly shine by offering true-to-life imagery with its wide gamut coverage. Similar to its 32” cousin, the U27P2CA also offers a Picture-by-Picture mode. Build quality for the AOC Q27P2Q is great since there are no signs of weaknesses or cosmetic defects once it’s out of the box. The plastics feel durable enough to last a few years, and the monitor itself feels sufficiently reinforced when fully assembled. The stand doesn’t wobble, so you can type vigorously without getting dizzied by a shaking screen. The new monitor offers two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort connection, and four USB 3.2 Type-A connections. Additionally, AOC has included a USB Type-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt and USB Power Delivery up to 65 W. AOC Q27P2CA is also equipped with dual speakers. AOC has added four new 27 inch monitor to its P2 series, which it markets to professionals. AOC uses an IPS panel for the Q27P2CA with QHD 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution and 300 nits brightness.

With a two-port USB hub complementing the UltraGear Ergo’s HDMI 2 and DP 1.4 ports, the only thing that would have made this panel any more appealing is USB-C. Given the rest of the specs sheet, however, we’re willing to let it slide.Our verdict is a simple one: If you need a straightforward, reasonably large monitor for work, and you’d rather not spend a fortune, the AOC Q27V4EA is a great choice. It’s generally accepted that 27in is the sweet spot for 1440p monitors, but anywhere down to 24in is also perfectly good for working or casual gaming. WQHD gaming monitors will almost always measure 27in across the diagonal. It’s simply a matter of preference and available space. The biggest issue, however, is simply that this monitor doesn’t take full advantage of its resolution. For office work, I’d recommend a panel size of 32in or above to make the most of those extra pixels: at those sorts of sizes, the 4K resolution really comes into its own, allowing you to squeeze more in on screen much more comfortably than on a smaller display. Given that AOC’s own U32P2CA fills that niche nicely, however, it’s hard to see where the U27P2CA fits in. The BenQ Mobiuz EX3210R is an incredibly solid 32in curved gaming monitor with good credentials and an even better price tag. This 1440p, 165Hz VA monitor performed well on test, delivering a wide gamut of colours accurately. Contrast and brightness are both good, although the entry-level HDR 400 certification is best ignored – you won’t notice much of a change. But that’s okay: this is a vibrant monitor, and an immersive one too, thanks to that aggressive 1800R curvature.
