Fresh off the press, AOC have announced yet another gaming monitor, not long after they first revealed a venture into their first portable gaming monitor. This time, something a little more conventional, a 27″ QHD curved gaming monitor.
AOC GAMING CQ27G2S/BK is the name to remember if you’re looking forward to a new 1440p monitor from AOC, and it has some impressive specs to back it up, looking like a good entry for gamers who want an affordable display.
AOC reveal new 27-inch 1440p curved gaming monitor
QHD, also known as 1440p, offers a great balance for gamers that want to enjoy high-fidelity visuals without splashing out on a 4K or ultrawide monitor, especially if your PC specs don’t quite have the power to handle that. AOC say their new monitor ‘hits the sweet spot for gamers seeking an immersive QHD gaming experience’ in their press release, and the specs seem to back that up.
Let’s first look at design though. It’s definitely a familiar one, so nothing that really stands out compared the rest of their line up, quality AOC design as usual. This is of course a curved monitor which sets it apart from flat displays, sitting at 27″ like most 1440p monitors do.
AOC GAMING CQ27G2S/BK specs
Now we can get to the specs of the AOC GAMING CQ27G2S/BK. We’ve already revealed a few, but there’s much more to learn. Check out everything you need to know just below.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Screen Size | 27 inches |

The specs above represent a great quality gaming monitor with everything you need for an immersive experience without jumping up to some of the ultra high refresh rate monitors. We think that 165Hz is a fantastic option for this resolution, given how popular 1440p 144Hz monitors, now just a little smoother.
