I’m a big fan of AOC monitors, even when they let their marketing team go a little bonkers with the brief of their new monitor. They say it has “stealth mode activated” due to it’s “stealth-fighter inspired angular design” which is to say, it has a pointy base on the stand, that looks a bit like a B2 bomber, haha, bless em, they mean well.
Alas, onto the real good stuff, the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE is a pretty slick monitor, with a 280 Hz refresh rate and Full HD resolution, a 27″ panel and a 1500R curvature that’s going to make it ideal for gamers who want ultra-fast response times and low input latency.
The C27G4ZXE features a modern design with a grey and black colour scheme that seamlessly blends into any gaming setup. The monitor’s slim bezels and sharp lines of the chassis create a sleek and attractive appearance reminiscent of a stealth aircraft, while the simple, compact stand provides a stable base without detracting from the monitor’s overall aesthetic and offering ample space for esports enthusiasts to move keyboard and mouse around. With its 100×100 VESA mount compatibility, the C27G4ZXE also fits multi-monitor setups with monitor arms.
The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE’s soft 1500R curvature wraps gently around the user’s field of view without distorting the visuals, creating a truly immersive gaming experience. The curved screen mimics the natural curvature of the human eye, providing a more comfortable and engaging viewing experience during extended gaming sessions. Whether diving into the cockpit of a racing simulator or exploring vast, open worlds, the C27G4ZXE’s curvature draws gamers deeper into the action.
With an astonishing 280 Hz refresh rate, the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE delivers incredibly smooth and responsive gameplay, giving gamers the competitive edge they need in fast-paced titles. At the highest pixel overdrive setting, the monitor can achieve up to 1 ms GtG response time, ensuring that ghosting and motion blur are minimised. Where the motion clarity is at utmost importance, the C27G4ZXE features an enhanced MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) mode using a strobing backlight, rendering pixel transitions indiscernible and reducing the MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) to an impressive 0.3 ms for virtually blur-free visuals.
The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE’s Full HD resolution (1920×1080) strikes the ideal balance between visual clarity and performance. This resolution allows even mid-range GPUs to achieve the monitor’s impressive 280 Hz refresh rate in a majority of titles, ensuring that gamers can enjoy the full benefits of the C27G4ZXE’s lightning-fast performance from day one without requiring top-of-the-line hardware.
The C27G4ZXE features a high-contrast Fast VA panel with a 4000:1 contrast ratio, delivering deep blacks and vibrant colours for a stunning visual experience. Coupled with the HDR10 support, the monitor can display a wider range of brightness and colour levels, bringing out intricate details in both dark and bright scenes, further enhancing the immersion in the game world.
To eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE supports Adaptive-Sync technology, synchronising the monitor’s refresh rate with the GPU’s output for a seamless and fluid gaming experience. This technology ensures that gamers can enjoy smooth gameplay without distracting visual artifacts, regardless of their graphics card.
The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE joins the affordable family of gaming monitors offering 280 Hz refresh rates launched by AGON by AOC this summer, such as the 27G2ZN3/BK with its Flat 27-inch Fast VA panel and height-adjustable stand, or the C27G2Z3/BK with its curved 27-inch Fast VA panel and a height-adjustable stand as well.
The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE will be available from July 2024, backed by a 3-year warranty, at an attractive MSRP of £219.99.
