Photo editing where the graphic sits on one panel and your tools and utilities sit on the other is a very efficient way to work. This feature is also useful when enjoying videos and other visual media, for a smoother entertainment.

Forget graphical frills: this mode rewires the monitor in favour of raw response time, giving the ultimate edge in hair trigger stand offs.The widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio provides plenty of space to spread out and work, plus allows you to enjoy games or movies in their original size. It is a bit less bright than most of its competition at a rated 250 nits but its killer black levels more than make up for that. Of course, video processing is a priority too and that is amply covered by a reliable 144 Hz refresh rate, achieved without overclock, and Adaptive-Sync. Things like Adaptive-Sync and extended color have become commodities too and those features are a minimum for manufacturers that want to compete in this genre.

Adjust grey levels for better picture detail and brighten dark areas or sink them back into blackness on the fly, without affecting the rest of the display.Though it doesn’t include HDR, it delivers a very high contrast ratio over 3600:1 right out of the box. AOC’s CQ27G2 appears to meet those expectations with a 27-inch QHD/ VA panel, gently curved to a 1500mm radius.

Any kind of graphic, static or moving, is rendered in rich hues with accurate color and plenty of depth. Like most gaming monitors, you must pick between the strobe and Adaptive-Sync; you can’t use them together. Though we used the full native gamut for our hands-on tests, there is an excellent sRGB mode that has spot-on grayscale and color tracking. A 165Hz refresh rate, well over twice the industry standard of 60Hz, makes games run smooth as silk. The Luminance menu has brightness and contrast sliders along with three gamma presets, a dynamic contrast toggle and an HDR Effect mode that simulates HDR.With 109ppi pixel density, you’ll have to get within inches of the screen to see jagged lines or individual pixels.
