AOC 27G42E 27" FHD 180Hz Fast IPS Gaming Monitor

I got this as a replacement for my AOC 24G2SP monitor, which developed horizontal lines on the bottom of the screen out of nowhere. This is apparently a common problem with AOC monitors if you look it up online... so beware. That might be why the warranty on AOC monitors is also long, but who knows. I wasn't told what the cause of the horizontal line was on my previous AOC monitor.

Anyway, this is an alright replacement, cheaper than my original one, and it shows. The stand is honestly disappointing, as it's not that stable and will wobble even with just light typing or small movements on the desk.

Anyway, this is an alright replacement, cheaper than my original one, and it shows. The stand is honestly disappointing, as it's not that stable and will wobble even with just light typing or small movements on the desk. You can't even adjust the monitor height either or rotate it. You can only tilt it upwards or downwards. The stand is at least easy to put on but a pain to get off. The mechanism design to remove the stand feels like they didn't even think about the user experience. If you do want to use this with a monitor mount instead, then there's a panel on the back that you have to take off, which is also difficult to do. You'll need something like a flat head screwdriver and a good amount of force to remove it. Without the panel, the back looks awful. However, it's not really a problem if your desk is facing the wall.

Overall a decent monitor for the price, especially for gaming. If you're on a tight budget, then this will definitely do the job. But if you can, I'd save a little extra for something better, especially if you don't plan to get a monitor mount, as the stand on this is so wobbly and you can't adjust the height or rotate it. There are other alternatives out there that have the same specs as this, but cheaper and probably have a better stand.

Good refresh rate HDR looks good cant see any ghosting. Had a Samsung odyssey g3 that had terrible ghosting this AOC monitor is 10x better in every way. The only con for me is the menu buttons a joystick would be nice. Best 1080p monitor I've owned very happy. Good refresh rate HDR looks good cant see any ghosting.

At the price of this monitor, it is very good. 180Hz refresh rate, good display and perfect size. I don't think you can get cheaper than this monitor for the quality it provides. Only slight issue is that it wobbles quite a lot, but I think it's livable. At the price of this monitor, it is very good. 180Hz refresh rate, good display and perfect size.

This monitor has good flow and does the job well. My only concern is that I can’t see how you tilt the screen. Looks to be a fixed stand to me unless I’m missing something.

I have always been a fan of AOC monitors and this is my 3rd one. For the price the specs are just basically unbeatable. Great clarity and color. HRD10 is a plus. The Freesync is currently not Nvidia verified. The only downsides are the stand is quite terrible, it wobbles easily, and my unit has backlight bleed on the top right corner.

This is a decent monitor, but I do have a slight problem with how stable it is. It is kinda wobbly. This is a decent monitor, but I do have a slight problem with how stable it is. It is kinda wobbly.

Got this a week or so ago and so far no major issues. definitely an upgrade from my old 60hz monitor. Got this a week or so ago and so far no major issues. definitely an upgrade from my old 60hz monitor.

No issue so far. No issue so far.

I probably would've opted for 1440p instead for a 27" Display but missed the sale. 1080p probably great for 24", never the less its a decent purchase for sure. purchased during autumn sale and newly released, great value and feels quite responsive.
