27" AOC 27G2ZN3 Gaming
The AOC 27G2ZN3 gaming monitor delivers a combination of extreme speed and high contrast on its 27" screen, designed for competitive gamers. This Full HD gaming monitor uses a Fast VA panel that operates at a 280Hz refresh rate and a response time of just 0.5ms (MPRT) or 1ms (GtG). This combination of parameters means smooth, blur-free visuals even in the fastest action scenes. As a fast gaming monitor with low response time, it provides a clear advantage in competitive titles. Furthermore, Adaptive Sync technology synchronises frames with the graphics card and prevents screen tearing. HDR10 support ensures more vivid colours and better detail in both the light and dark parts of the scene.

Speed and Smoothness for Competitive Gaming
A 280Hz refresh rate puts this monitor at the forefront of display speed. Combined with a response time of 1ms (GtG) and 0.5ms (MPRT), on-screen motion is clean and sharp. The fast transition between individual frames effectively suppresses ghosting or blurring that can put gamers at a disadvantage in fast-paced shooters and racing games.
Visual Quality
The image is based on a Fast VA panel with a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. This type of panel combines fast response times with a high static contrast ratio of 3,000:1. The result is rich, deep shades of black, which enhance image depth, especially in dark gaming environments. HDR10 support further expands the dynamic range, which translates to better-rendered details in the brightest and darkest parts of a scene simultaneously. An anti-glare finish reduces distracting reflections from ambient light.
Technology for a Clear Picture and Gaming Features
For smooth, artefact-free gaming, the monitor uses Adaptive Sync technology. It dynamically adjusts the monitor's refresh rate to the number of frames per second generated by the graphics card. This effectively prevents screen tearing and stuttering. Gaming performance is further supported by a low input lag mode, which minimises the delay between a command from the mouse or keyboard and its display. For easy settings adjustments, the AOC G-Menu software offers a choice of six preset gaming modes.
Ergonomic Customisation
The stand of the AOC 27G2ZN3 monitor is fully adjustable. It offers height adjustment, tilt, and a pivot function to rotate the screen 90° into a vertical position. Adjusting the monitor's position reduces strain on the cervical spine and contributes to comfort during long gaming sessions. In addition to the stand, the monitor can be mounted on a wall or other arm using the VESA 100 × 100 mm standard.
Features for Gamers and Eye Protection
For gamers, the monitor offers a low input lag mode that speeds up signal transmission. The AOC G-Menu software provides access to all settings, including six preset gaming modes. Flicker-Free technology reduces backlight flicker and a blue light filter reduces its emission. These features protect your eyes and reduce fatigue during long-term use. Power consumption in SDR mode is 21W (Class E), and in HDR mode it is 30W (Class G).
Connectivity Options
Modern digital ports are used to connect to a computer or game console. The monitor offers a wide range of connectors. DisplayPort and HDMI cables are included.

Colour Gamut
Determines how accurately a monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, films or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is valued by graphic designers or professionals. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
A value given in nits or cd/m² that determines the brightness of the monitor. Brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values above 250. Refresh Rate and Response Time
The refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye strain. A lower response time value (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
