AOC Gaming: 280Hz & Beyond

Written by Munesu Denya | Aug 8, 2024 1:42:34 PM

Looking to build upon their stellar reputation for making versatile and affordable high-performance monitors, AOC Gaming has released two new 280Hz displays that blur the boundaries between entry-level monitors and competition-ready displays. Let’s take a closer look at what makes the C27G4ZXE & 27G2ZN3/BK so enticing for gamers. 

As PC gaming has become more popular and more devices and manufacturers enter the market, gamers of all levels are spoilt for choice. At the high-end, there is no shortage of gaming monitors sporting sub-millisecond response times or refresh rates over 240Hz but features like these tend to come with price tags beyond anything considered ‘entry-level’. This year, AOC Gaming has brought out two new 27” monitors that fill this gap in the market. 

Fast & Fluid 

Performance is paramount to success in any game, and this is where the AOC C27G4ZXE & 27G2ZN3/BK excel. Both monitors feature an astonishing 280Hz refresh rate and adaptive-sync support, which means not only do they go beyond the current 240Hz standard currently found in e-sports, but they also deliver incredibly smooth and responsive gameplay.  

 

The speed does not end there. Both gaming monitors deliver an almost completely blur-free experience thanks to an advanced MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) feature that employs a strobing backlight to make pixel transitions unnoticeable, which lowers the MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) to an impressive 0.3ms for the C27G4ZXE and 0.5ms for the 27G2ZN3/BK. 


Fast panels with HDR10 support
 

Perfect pictures are hard to come by, but these monitors come closer than most entry-level displays. Equipped with dynamic Fast VA panels and HDR10 support, these gaming monitors deliver a vivid viewing experience that is flush with deep blacks and bright colours. The quality presented by the C27G4ZXE & 27G2ZN3/BK is bolstered by the wide viewing angles and 4000:1 contrast ratio can enhance the visual quality of games, movies, and other media. 

Designs That Delight 

Despite sharing AOC’s 3-sided borderless design, and a 27” screen size, the AOC C27G4ZXE & 27G2ZN3/BK look quite different.  

 

The C27G4ZXE offers gamer a 1500R curvature that wraps gently around the user's field of view, without distorting the visuals. Curved screens like this are meant to mimic the natural curvature of the human, aiming to create a comfortable and engaging viewing experience. The base of this display is sporting a compact hexagonal shape that leaves desks neat and uncluttered, while the height adjustable stand provides users with added comfort. Additionally, the rear of the AOC C27G4ZXE gaming monitor is adorned with dark grey accents and triangular shapes, inspired by the sharp lines and unconventional shapes of a stealth aircraft.  

 

 

On the other hand, the AOC 27G2ZN3/BK gaming monitor offers a more familiar form factor. This 27” screen comes in the flat form factor most of us are used to, plus it is sporting the red accented colour scheme AOC Gaming has become known for. Along with its classic 4-pronged design, the stand on this display is capable of: 130mm of adjustable height; 90° pivot angle; -30°/30° swivel (L/R); and a -4°/21.5° tilt.  

Ultra-high refresh rates have started becoming more affordable than ever before, and the AOC C27G4ZXE & 27G2ZN3/BK are at the forefront of this movement.
