This 1080p IPS display with 120Hz refresh rate delivers surprisingly great results.
If you're on the hunt for one of the best budget-friendly gaming monitors around, then look no further than the AOC AGON 27-inch 27G4XE. The sub-£150 price tag will cause many to turn away, thinking it's going to come up short but it genuinely doesn't. The 180Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time keep graphics super smooth with no visible lag. The 1080p resolution will be fine for most people, but if you're into 4K games, then you'll need to look elsewhere.
One of the best elements of the design is that the display is pushed right to the edge on the top, left, and right sides. A thin strip on these three sides and slim-line curved corners provide a very attractive aesthetic. Ports are limited to two HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4. This is adequate for most PCs and gaming consoles but I would have liked to have seen the inclusion of at least one USB-C port for connecting a laptop. The lack of additional ports sits in line with its budget price but it does mean this monitor can't act as a hub or docking station.The AOC AGON 27-inch 27G4XE is billed as a gaming monitor.
The FHD 1920 x 1080p resolution display provides adequate picture quality for the price but the advertised wide colour gamut isn't enough to deliver the required resolution when requiring accurate colours for design work. Gamers won't have any problem with that, though, and the HDR 10 addition helps to push the vibrancy of colours.
There were also no problems with motion blur thanks to the Fast IPS display and quick response time. This came into its own during high-speed gaming, where images must be updated rapidly. The display also has pretty impressive viewing angles and will be fine when playing a game with 2 or 3 friends in the same room. Whether you would want to do that in front of a 27-inch monitor, though, is another matter.
