I love this monitor. I made the switch back to PC at the beginning of the year, and used a 60hz, crappy tv as a monitor for a couple months. In May, I added this to my set up, and currently use both. I play a lot of video games, from Counter Strike, to Bioshock, to Metal Gear, and more, and this monitor hasn't missed a beat. Counter Strike, as a twitch shooter, utilizes every frame of the 144hz. All with brilliant colors and

The monitor itself is well built, and easy on the eyes. Even with the normal stand on it, it looks good on the desk. I love the adjust-ability of the stand. Up, down, tilt either way, and side to the side. The freedom to set up the monitor exactly how you want without having to pick up and move the monitor (which can be risky business) is such a great feature.

For those talking about 144hz needing a displayport or dvi cable, that's not just this monitor! HDMI is only capable of 60hz. This is not news, nor is it a con of this monitor. Just do your research, like you should before buying anything and you won't be surprised.

I highly recommend this monitor, and as others have said, if you are thinking about buying it for gaming purposes, just buy it. It's worth every penny.

CAUTION, DO NOT BUY THIS MONITOR.

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2016

I decided to get myself something for my 20th birthday, I was really deciding either for a ultra wide monitor or a 144hz monitor and ended up going for a 144hz. I saw the reviews on this particular monitor and just decided to get it because of its price and design. I actually had high hopes for this monitor and was really excited so I ordered it with one day shipping. So when I got this monitor, everything looked good in the box, nice a neat, but when I hooked everything up, turned it on, switched it to 144hz from 60hz, I saw no difference at all. So I spent a good hour trying to figure out how to fix it. I downloaded the driver. (Only 1 driver available Dating back to 2013), I downloaded some programs that might have helped fix the problem, tried THREE different cables, dual dvi, display port, and a gold plated display port. AND NOTHING WORKED. The monitor was saying it was displaying at 144hz but it was defective. It was always 60hz. So before requesting a refund I contacted AoC and you know what they told me? This specific model needs a FIRMWARE UPDATE and I need to SEND IT BACK to them so they can update it. Stupid waste of time. Don't sell a product to customers if it's not ready. Take your monitor back, thanks for wasting my time AoC. PLEASE, AND I MEAN PLEEEEASE stay away from this monitor. Don't risk wasting money and time, there are better alternatives like acer or BenQ. Stay away from this monitor. Don't risk it.

Unbeatable price for this awesome monitor!

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2016

I have this monitor for almost two months now. I have no problem so far with it. It is 27inch 144hz monitor with very low refresh rate. For this price, it is a very good deal. I was skeptical at first about this AOC branch since my experience with monitor branch are mostly Asus, Dell, Samsung, HP, etc and never with AOC. But this monitor surprise me with the high quality built. It has a lot of usb ports included and even display port cable. I didn't even use all the cables that included in the box since I only need to use DVI for the 144hz connectivity.

Note: To use the usb slots on the monitor, you need to connect the usb cable that come with the monitor to both the monitor and your desktop/laptop for the usb slots on the monitor to work properly. I was careless at first and not notice the point of the provided usb and my usb slots didn't work. A quick google search and I find the solution to it.

The charging usb port works really well too. I use it with my samsung galaxy s7 edge and it recognizes right away. It does not charge as fast as wall charger but it is very handy since you can plug it in and keep it nears you while it charges. So you can use it while it charges!

You also may need to adjust some colors setting on the monitor. It is very easy to do and it's just a minor color adjustments.

I used one of the reviewers setting that he posted:

AOC G2770PQU Calibration Settings
Eco Mode: Standard
Contrast: 49
Brightness: 45
Gamma: 1
Color Temp: User
RGB
Red 48, Green 48, Blue 51

To be honest, it is not much different with or without the adjustment but do it if the colors bother you. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter.

Overall, I am very satisfied and impressed with this monitor and I think I am become a fan of this branch in the future.

Great monitor with a few small issues.

Update
It's been 1 year and I'm loving this monitor even more. It makes gaming life easy between PC (DVI) and PS4 (HDMI). Plus the audio out port gives you an option to increase the quality of the sound from HDMI.

Pros
-144hz fresh rate over DVI cable connection (DVI cable included with monitor).
-1ms response time
-Height adjustment
-Stand can rotate monitor horizontally and vertically.
-4 USB 2.0 ports
-Support for known modern day PC display ports. Maybe not the latest versions though.
-Multiple ports

Cons
-Black colour is sometimes green even after calibration.
-Viewing angle is horrible. I don't recommend rotating the monitor 90 degrees due to this. If rotated then it's best to rotate the stand about 20 degrees to your left.
-No native support for 144hz or 120hz fresh rate over HDMI. Special programs are needed to display 1920x1080@120hz (anything above 120hz is unsupported for 1920x1080) and lower resolutions @144hz over HDMI. This was tested on a PC with an Nvidia graphics (using Nvidia control panel and Custom Resolution Utility) and AMD graphics card (using Custom Resolution Utility). Use Custom Resolution Utility at your own risk since this program can overclock your monitor.
-Built in speaker are the worst speakers I've ever used.

Overall it's a good monitor with good performance and colour although there isn't a lot of PC games that display 144fps (see tested working PC games below). We'll have to wait and see if it lasts for at least 1 year.

These are PC games that I have in my collection that run at 120fps or above according to Fraps.
-Bioshock Infinity (Using custom resolution 1312x738@144hz)
-F1 2013
-DmC Devil May Cry
-Devil May Cry 4 (120fps)
-Tomb Raider 2013
-Splintercell Blacklist
-H.A.W.X 2
-Assassin's Creed 3 (Very glitchy at 120Hz and above)

Updates
-Project Cars
-The Witcher 3
-Grid series
-Hitman: Absolution
-Middle earth: Shadow of Mordor

Love this monitor, totally worth the money

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015

Bought this based on a recommendation from Tom's Hardware, and it is a great monitor, especially for gamers looking for the right price.

Wonderful brightness and color representation. Beautiful, bordering on mind-blowing gaming experience. Love the fact that I can rotate the monitor 90°, and that I can simulate lower resolutions than the stock resolution. Pukey-smooth when gaming and in windows. The monitor's controls are also nice, and easy to navigate. I even like the look of the monitor- the red bezel is cool.

I suppose the cons here, if any, are that if you do not like a bright monitor, it might be too bright for you. Also, if you don't game, you can do with a cheaper monitor. My wife says that the colors seem a bit bright/washed-out, but again, that seems to be relegated to windows.

Absolutely worth the upgrade from an old monitor, especially if you game. I loved it from the first moment I started using it. Totally worth the money.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! But seriously it is worth it.

If you are coming from a 60Hz Monitor then you will not be sorry making the leap to 144Hz. Ubisoft may say you can't see a difference but that couldn't be further from the truth.

PROS: Good price point for a solid built monitor
Faux brushed bezels are very print resistant
DVI-D(single link) as well as Displayport
USB hub and faster charging port
1MS lag!
Pivots to accommodate any viewing angle as well as portrait

CONS: Some units apparently have issues running 144Hz over Displayport(I haven't tested that with mine)
The digital UI for color calibration is in Chinese, however you can use another and calibrize worked well for me http://www.calibrize.com/
Built in speakers are pretty bad, but if your using them then your bad and you should feel bad
Bezels are somewhat on the thick side

I've had this for a little more than a week and have been using it for several hours a day every day and its definitely worth the 5 star rating, I can't take off a star for it suffering from washed out viewing angles outside of about 30 degrees because its a TN monitor but until there's an equivalent IPS or PLS monitor with this refresh rate and latency(or lack thereof ;) ) then it has to remain a 5 in my book and for a $250 monitor it definitely deserves a look. The shipping and packaging was also excellent. Since i'm stationed in Hawaii and was somewhat worried about that state it would arrive in and the box looked like it went through a warzone but inside it was snugged up with some wrapping paper stopping the product box from shifting and smacking around and inside the product box it was wrapped in a shipping bag and cradled in soft foam, there were no dings, cracks, smudges, or dead pixels. Overall i'm very pleased and recommend this highly.

Lovely monitor, but had a dead pixel

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this as my first gaming/144hz monitor. Gameplay was smooth and fluid. I loved the screen size, the USB 3 ports on the side (even though I was having drivers issues with them as well), etc. Sadly, it had a very noticeable dead pixel near the middle. I ended up sending it back.

This looks like a great value, but I'd recommend that others don't get suckered in like I did. Clearly there's a problem with quality control with the number of monitors with dead pixels. There's several other reviews up here complaining about them. On top of that, mine showed up after a few days, when I started playing with the monitor settings. Even if you don't have any dead pixels at the start, it seems they can show up later on, once the return window is gone. It's just too much of a risk in my opinion.

I'm going to look into a BenQ or some other brand; I'd recommend others do the same.

Good, if you can overlook it's faults

For the price, this is a good monitor. For about $250 you get a 24", 1080p, TN panel display that can overclock up to 165hz. The included base stand is surprisingly nice. It is height adjustable, the whole base rotates like a lazy Susan, and you can also tilt the monitor up and down. The monitor turns on about 7 seconds after you press the power button which is about average for the monitors I've used, and you can get decent looking colors after going thru the menus and fiddling with it. Overall I am satisfied but these are the things I wish I had known before I purchased it.

1. The stated 1ms is grey to grey transition time, not input lag. This monitor has 28ms of input lag, which is not "Ultimate Performance". Under 10ms of input lag is considered good. (source: look up this model on displaylag dot com)
2. I could not get the display port to function at 144hz. I had to use a Dual Link DVI cable
3. The power cord is very hard to get all the way in. At first I thought my monitor was DOA because I didn't push it in all the way.

Again, I am satisfied overall, but this is one of three monitors that I have in my PC setup. This monitor is for FPS gaming, an large HDTV for netflix and other media, and an IPS monitor for normal PC usage.

32" 720p TV jump to AOC 27" 144hz 1ms monitor

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

Went from a 32" 720p TV to this AOC 27" 144hz 1ms monitor. This a a quantum jump in viewing enjoyment and technology! This is in our small apartment living room as an HTPC monitor/TV connected to an mITX PC. I did my research reading tech reviews and Amazon reviews before I bought this monitor so I knew what I was getting. I read the full review on PCMONITORS.INFO which was very useful. A few thoughts now that I have this monitor,

Pros:
-Compared to my old 32" 720p TV, this monitor has zero blur. This is most noticeable when playing games such as CS:GO. Everything is sharp and crisp especially on enemies far away whereas before things were blurry and muddy looking. Not sure what the response time on the TV was, but it is visually a huge improvement. Combined with the 144hz refresh rate, the action feels really smooth.
-The increase in resolution from a 720p 32" TV to a 1080p 27" monitor was really nice to use as an HTPC screen. I can finally surf the web without squinting and I can read all the item descriptions in Path of Exile. Glorious day!
-My eyes are really sensitive to stuttering and/or flickering, and changing to this monitor feels much gentler on the eyes. I get less eye fatigue and the headaches are practically gone. I attribute this to the 144hz refresh and to this monitor NOT using PWN (Pulse Width Modulation). Manufacturers use "flicker-free" to mean the same thing.
-It may be strange to talk about "feel", but all the technologies packed in this monitor make games feel smoother. I was secretly hoping it would improve my abysmal CS:GO KDR (hahaha), but it did not. Maybe it improved it just slightly but nothing magical. More importantly to me, the games are much more enjoyable because they are much smoother. This makes my past time of playing games a joy.

Other Thoughts:
-I was seriously considering getting a G-sync monitor, but the cost of upgrading my GPU and getting a 27" G-Sync would have blown my budget. Now that I have this monitor along a now old, Radeon HD 7770, it pushes ~120 FPS on CS:GO and other less demanding games are fluid. Even with this budget GPU, the motion is fluid and I can't imagine getting a G-sync monitor anytime soon. I am really happy that the games are fluid and I saved a lot of money. In the future, I would prefer to keep this monitor (non G-sync) and get a high end GPU like the GTX970 instead of getting a mid-end GPU with G-sync and a G-sync monitor.
-Not really a con as I was aware before buying this, but the sound quality and max volume is much less than any TV as this monitor was not designed to be used as a living room TV. So without external speakers, this would not able to replace a TV for home entertainment. I connected speakers to the monitor so it is not a problem.
-Not really a con again, but the screen size is smaller which I knew already. I got used to this and I would never trade this monitor just to get a bigger screen sized TV.
-Yes, I was aware this is a TN monitor and the viewing angles are not good and color saturation are not IPS grade. I know this because my main desktop monitor is an IPS monitor. For a TN panel, the image quality is good after calibration and does not distract from the gaming, youtube watching and web surfing I do on this monitor so I am not taking any stars for that.
-I would not use this 27" 1080p monitor as a main desktop PC monitor as the resolution is too low for the screen size and the monitor would be too big if sitting close to it.

To Conclude:
-I honestly think higher refresh rate monitors and higher FPS gaming is the way of the future and will increase the fun and immersion while decreasing eye fatigue. As of 2015, the ~$320 price and the 144hz 1ms specs on this 27" AOC monitor are the sweet spot for me. Like is good with this monitor and I could not be happier.

Long story short, the new batch works.

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2016

I read the reviews. Some people not getting true 144 Hz and the definitive tests done to prove the monitors are only getting 60 Hz. And not just the reviews on Amazon. I was going to go with a BenQ 144 Hz monitor or a G-Sync monitor, but I like a bargain. I figured if the monitor was not true 144 Hz, I'd send it back and get a more trusted monitor. Long story short after a lot of research, I purchased this monitor along with a DVI-D Dual Link cable and a DisplayPort cable. I received it, hooked it up using the DVI-D Dual Link , turned my computer on, right clicked my desktop, checked my graphics, still 60 Hz. Dug a little deeper, changed the monitor properties in drop down menu to 144 Hz. the screen went black for a second, the came back looking normal. So I moved the mouse across the screen at a fast pace to see if I really got twice the mouse trail frames. I did! I started a game that I play regularly. Went to practice while using a recording software (DxTory) to see what my frame rate was. The game and my graphics card pushes 1,000 fps, but I've only been able to see 60 fps due to the old monitor. When the monitor is catching more than twice the frames, there are little movements and certain nuances that would never have been noticed; like the jerking of the screen due to fall damage.
The 1 ms response time was a game changer. When playing other games using meleé only, the difference between certain death and a guaranteed kill is literally milliseconds.
The only area this monitor fails is the color reproduction. It fails. But if you like performance without having true red, true blue, or any other color being true for that matter, this is the monitor to get.
I recommend this monitor because this new batch works. 144 Hz is something I will never go less than in the future. And 1ms too.
