When shopping for a new gaming monitor, you want to tick as many boxes as you can within your budget. The new AORUS AD27QD comes packed full of features, that are sure to make it appealing to PC gamers. However, at £535 it is quite expensive. We actually saw this monitor at CES 2019 in Las Vegas though, and we can tell you, AORUS have gone a long way to justifying that price tag. So don’t think “it’s too expensive” think “how much do I get for my investment?”
This monitor ticks all the basics with ease. It has a nice 27″ panel, with a 2560 x 1440 panel, that runs at 144 Hz with FreeSync support. It’s also a 10 bit (8+FR) panel that delivers 95% of the DCI-P3 colour space. It features an edge LED backlight, allowing 350 cd/m2. As I said, that’s all the “gaming monitor basics” ticked right away.
AORUS have gone much further though. A built-in RGB LED engine, Game Assist OSD, Picture in Picture. Then there’s the 1ms response, HDR output! Even cooler, it has built-in noise-cancelling technology when you connect your headset/microphone! There is even a built-in PSU in the monitor stand, as well as a range of stand adjustments. Right, enough technical flexing, let’s take a closer look!
