27" AOC C27G42E
The 27" AOC C27G42E gaming monitor brings a combination of speed and immersive visuals suitable for competitive gaming. It is based on a curved gaming monitor with a Fast VA panel, which displays content at a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. An extremely high refresh rate, which reaches up to 280Hz in overclocked mode, and a lightning-fast 0.5ms (MPRT) response time eliminate any motion blur and provide the necessary edge in fast-paced action titles. The 1500R screen curvature surrounds your field of vision, drawing you directly into the centre of the action. This monitor also supports Adaptive Sync technology, which seamlessly synchronises the image with the graphics card over a wide range from 48 to 280Hz, preventing screen tearing and stuttering.

Image and Performance for Competitive Gaming
The monitor is based on a Fast VA panel with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio. A native 240Hz refresh rate, which can be overclocked to 280Hz, along with a 0.5ms (MPRT) response time, eliminates motion blur. Adaptive Sync technology in the 48–280Hz range synchronises frames with the graphics card and prevents screen tearing. The panel achieves a brightness of 300cd/m² and a static contrast of 4,000:1. Wide colour coverage of 124.2% sRGB and 92.4% DCI-P3 ensures vibrant and accurate colours, while HDR10 support extends the dynamic range between the darkest and brightest points of the scene.
Ergonomics and Flexibility
The AOC C27G2Z3 monitor's stand offers extensive positioning options for comfortable seating. The screen height can be adjusted within a range. The panel can be tilted or swivelled sideways. The pivot function allows the screen to be rotated vertically, which is practical when working with documents or programming. For alternative mounting on a wall or your own arm, the monitor is equipped with VESA mounts.
Gaming Features and Technology
The monitor supports the HDR10 standard, which extends the dynamic range and improves the contrast between the darkest and brightest parts of the image. This makes scenes in games and films appear more vivid and realistic. For gamers who require an instant response, the monitor offers a Low Input Lag mode, which minimises the delay between an action on the controller and its display. Eye protection during long gaming sessions is supported by Flicker-Free technology, which reduces backlight flicker, and a Low Blue Light mode, which reduces blue light emissions.
Connectivity Options
For connecting to a gaming PC, laptop or console, the monitor includes modern digital ports. There are two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4. The HDMI 2.0 ports can easily handle high frequencies for console gaming. A 3.5mm audio output for headphones is also available for private audio listening.

Colour Coverage (Gamut)
Determines how accurately a monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for the web, films or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals at work. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
Given in nits or cd/m², this value determines the brightness level of the monitor. A brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values above 250. Refresh Rate and Response Time
Refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the picture and the less eye strain. A lower response time value (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
