What customers say about "Key Specs"

AOC AG271QG Gaming Monitor

A great IPS screen with high 165 refresh rate, more than I actually need
Colours very impressive, combined with the resolution, very sharp images.
I can work at my desk and then flip the screen towards my bed and watch the amazing screen.
Really awful screen tearing with this monitor for some reason.
The gsync worked fine, though there were occasional drops in signal, with the screen flicking black for a moment.

ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q Gaming Monitor

FPS feels supremely different with the big peripheral focus, and the multi-tasking for everyday use it helpful.
Very nice monitor overall. Clear picture, and 21:9 in this package is just really neat.

What customers say about "Display"

AOC AG271QG Gaming Monitor

So, all-in-all, this is a great monitor for those looking for good colours, high refresh-rate and an increase in pixel density over a 1080p display. Very happy.
The display is fantastic and its worth the extra coin for G-sync.
A bright and vibrant display. Looks amazing.
Terrible yellowing in the corners on dark scenes (backlight bleed), even when I turned the monitor brightness to a low setting.
I did not like the saturation of colors.

ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q Gaming Monitor

The brightness retention is really good. My old 27" Asus' screen becomes a lot darker when you look at the monitor slightly from above and a lot brighter when looking from below.

What customers say about "Features"

AOC AG271QG Gaming Monitor

Build quality - awesome. Heavy, sturdy and even has a headphone hanger built in
Flicker-Free technology reduces my eyes pain. Recommended!
Height adjustable stand is must have if you want healthy spine
The monitor has built in speakers which are pretty poor but it's not an issue for me since I use headphones for gaming.
I'm sorry but the speakers are crap.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

AOC AG271QG Gaming Monitor

Both UK and EU power cables were included along with a displayport, HDMI, 3.5mm audio cable and usb type-B cable to power and transfer data to/from the 4 usb ports on the monitor.
Cable management are better than my previous monitor.
Display port problem, tried 6 different cables including that display in the box, nohting change.
If you like plenty of scope to plug in every single console / PC / media device you own into this monitor at the same time, you are going to be disappointed as there are just two ports; Display Port and HDMI.

ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q Gaming Monitor

Works as advertised, didn't come with a display port cable kind of a disappointment. Especially since to run 1440p at 144hz you need a display port cable, it does come with HDMI.
