AOC Expands Its G4 Gaming Monitor Series

Gamers rejoice! AOC has just added some fresh faces to its popular G4 gaming monitor series. These new models are sure to catch the eye with their updated features and sleek designs. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a competitive esports pro, AOC’s got something new to level up your gaming experience.

Curved immersion and lightning-fast refresh rates

The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXU leads the pack with its impressive 280 Hz refresh rate on a 27-inch curved Fast VA panel. This Full HD (1920×1080) monitor features a 1500R curvature for enhanced immersion, an up to 1 ms GtG response time, and 0.3 ms MPRT for crystal-clear motion. With a contrast ratio of 4000:1 and 300 nits brightness, it delivers vivid visuals and deep blacks, letting users enjoy visually rich games as well as competitive titles, striking a perfect balance for casual and enthusiastic gamers. The C27G4ZXU also includes built-in speakers and a 4-port USB 3.2 hub for convenient connectivity for gaming peripherals. For users looking for the same specifications (except speakers and the USB hub) with a simpler stand or to use with VESA mounts for example, AGON by AOC offers the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE (launched June 2024).

QHD resolution for sharper visuals

For gamers seeking higher resolution without compromising on speed, the 27-inch AOC GAMING CQ27G4X and 31.5-inch AOC GAMING CQ32G4VE both offer QHD resolution (2560×1440) on curved Fast VA panels. These models boast a 180 Hz refresh rate, an up to 1 ms GtG response time, and 0.5 ms MPRT, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay across many titles, combining sharp details with speed. The CQ27G4X features a 1500R curvature and 4000:1 contrast ratio, while the larger CQ32G4VE offers also a 1500R curvature and 3500:1 contrast ratio, both delivering immersive visuals with 300 nits of brightness.

Flat panel option for traditional setups

Rounding off the new line-up is the AOC GAMING Q27G4XF, a 27-inch flat monitor featuring a Fast IPS panel with QHD resolution. This model combines a 180 Hz refresh rate with an up to 1 ms GtG response time and 0.5 ms MPRT, offering exceptional clarity and smoothness. With 300 nits of brightness and HDR10 compliance, it provides vibrant colours for a dynamic gaming experience.

Gaming-centric features across the board

All models in the G4 series come equipped with a range of features designed specifically for gamers. All models feature MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) Sync, enabling the backlight strobing to be synchronised with the refresh rate to reduce the perceived blur to a minimum and offer a sharp, smooth gaming experience. Low input lag ensures immediate on-screen response to user actions, while the Dynamic Dial Point function provides a customisable crosshair overlay, which can change its colour against the background for improved visibility. This feature can better accuracy in first-person shooters. The Shadow Control feature allows users to adjust shadow and highlight details without affecting the rest of the display, ensuring optimal visibility in all gaming scenarios. Frame Counter allows users to see their framerate easily on screen. Additionally, all models support the AOC G-Menu software, enabling easy adjustment of OSD settings directly from the desktop.

Sleek design language

The G4 series showcases a modern design aesthetic that seamlessly blends into any gaming setup. With a grey and black colour scheme, slim bezels, and sharp lines reminiscent of a stealth aircraft, these monitors offer a sleek and attractive appearance. The sturdy stands with a small footprint provide a stable base without distracting from the overall aesthetic, offering ample space for keyboard and mouse movement. With the exception of the larger CQ32G4VE, which features a tilt-adjustable stand, all three 27-inch models come equipped with height-adjustable stands (130 mm) as well as tilt and swivel support, allowing users to find their optimal viewing position for extended gaming sessions. A cable management opening in the stand foot serves to create a clutter-free desk setup. The packaging of the 27-inch models come with paper cushions, reducing their environmental impact.

Adaptive-Sync for tear-free gaming

All four new models in the G4 series support Adaptive-Sync technology, ensuring smooth, tear-free gameplay across a wide range of graphics cards. The Q27G4XF goes a step further with certified NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, providing an even more seamless experience for users with NVIDIA GPUs.

A monitor for every gamer

The expanded G4 series, which was introduced at the beginning of 2024 and keeps evolving and growing, demonstrates AGON by AOC’s dedication to providing high-quality gaming monitors for every type of gamer and budget. Whether users prefer a curved or flat display, Full HD or QHD resolution, or a larger screen size, the new G4 line-up offers an affordable option without compromising on essential gaming features.
