If you are looking to upgrade your monitor and want something that will give you an edge in competitive multiplayer, The AOC C27G2ZU is now down from £250 to £200 off at Amazon – 20% off. This 27-inch, 1080p monitor is notable for its blistering 240Hz maximum refresh rate and is our pick for Best 240Hz gaming monitor.
The reasons for this are outlined in Review of Katharine from last year, in which she praised the monitor’s elegantly curved panel and vibrant display, which delivers great visuals right out of the box. There’s no need to mess around with any of the settings in its built-in menu system to try and get a better photo, she writes.
Another big plus is that the monitor supports both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, giving you smooth processing and eliminating screen tearing regardless of which graphics card you have. Katherine also found AOC’s monitor includes a wide selection of ports, and that it delivers top-notch picture quality without the fuss of extra settings.
There’s, of course, a 240Hz refresh rate, intended to provide a super responsive and smooth display that’s ideal for playing fast-paced multiplayer games like Call of Duty or Apex Legends. However, this has a price to pay. Limited to 1920×1080 resolution means the C27G2ZU won’t look as sharp as a 1440p monitor of the same size.
So if you want extra sharpness at super speed, you might want to look elsewhere – perhaps check out our list of Best gaming monitor deals for a more suitable display. That said, at £199, the C27G2ZU is a great monitor for its purpose. Indeed, Katharine considers this a bargain with an initial RRP of £300, so at this latest price it’s even a bargain.
