Amsterdam, 16 January 2020 – Display specialist AOC announces two new 27” gaming displays from its new G2 line-up with QHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels): the Q27G2U and the curved CQ27G2U which increases the immersion with an aggressive curvature of 1500R. Both monitors feature VA panels combining high responsiveness and fast refresh rates. With a refresh rate of 144 Hz, users can enjoy smooth and immersive gaming, while the 1 ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) allows for blur-free visuals in motion. In addition, AMD FreeSync support gets rid of any tearing and stuttering. Ambitious gaming enthusiasts appreciate crystal-clear image quality which is why both models boast a 3000:1 native contrast ratio (three times that of TN or IPS panels), and a 99.5% sRGB and 83.5% AdobeRGB coverage for vivid, popping colours.
