Greater than one weekGaming was good, I played a little Valorant, but the only problem was that it wasn’t 165hz. The max was 144hz. I don’t know if I have to use the hdmi cord it comes with, or plug it in a specific way. Although it is better than the 75hz I used to play on, but you know I pay for 165hz I want 165hz. So I’m going to give it 4 stars.

> 3 dayOn the AOC website, they claim the CQ27G3S has a response time of 1ms MPRT and 4ms GtG. I didnt believe the 4ms gtg would be such a big hit on the monitors ability to control ghosting, but darker scenes have a lot more noticeable ghosting. I tested ghosting using ufo test, so not really gaming environment, but it gives an idea on how the monitor reacts to certain scenes. Bright scenes are quite tame with almost no ghosting, while the darkest scene has the most noticeable. Overdrive setting on strong seems to lessen the length of the trail. Its not unplayable and for a VA panel, I didnt expect much. 7/10 165hz refresh rate is very nice because it allows for more smoother gameplay. I switched from a 60hz 4k to a 165hz 2k and the difference is huge. The quality of the image is about the same unless youre staring right at a single pixel looking for it. The only problem with the refresh rate is that 165hz is unstable. The actual monitor refresh rate fluctuates between 165hz and 160hz. It doesnt affect performance, however, its still a bit misleading. It is most stable at 144hz and does just as good. If you needed exactly 165hz for some reason, this monitor is not the best. The pixel density is very high for a small screen so the images are really clear. Anything above 28 for a 1440p/2k monitor is going to be poor. Coming from 4k 28 to 2k 27 there isnt much difference in image quality. Especially if you upscale resolution in games, its basically the same picture. 8/10 The colors also needed some work to get it perfect. There are three ways to make the screen brighter: brightness, contrast, and rgb settings. If you raise all of the rgb equally, the brightness also increases. Too high of a contrast will raise brightness, but also make all of the colors look weird. Adjust to your own preference. There is little to no back bleed. Only the slightest grey patch in the upper right corner, but unless youre in a completely dark room with a black screen playing, its completely unnoticeable. 9/10 The OSD menu is poorly developed. Modifying certain menu items will modify other related items, understandably so, however, it doesnt revert back to default. Which means if you have a good set up and modify your settings to experiment, you will lose your previous set up. Maybe not that big of a deal, but a peeve of mine. I wish it doesnt save until you hit a separate button to save. For now, it gets the job done, but if I ever wanted to change something, I would lose all my previous settings which is very unfortunate. 7/10 Its 2k at 27, 144hz stable refresh, curved VA, and affordable with a 4 year warranty against any manufacturer defect(dont quote me). Very much a worthy buy. 8/10

> 3 dayPlaying any first person shooter with this monitor at 240Hz was a great improvement over my 60Hz monitor. The 60Hz monitor would give me motion sickness after maybe 30 minutes or so. Not to mention my aim was terrible since everything looked very blurry. With the new monitor I cant say i felt any motion sickness since there was no blur, and everything looked so much more clear when moving around and trying to aim. Much much better gaming performance than I expected for the price at 1080p. Eventually I will go for a similar monitor at 4k.

> 3 dayExcellent monitor for 1080p gaming. I have had it for two weeks and so happy with my purchase. I thought I was missing out on a 1440p experience, but my eyes have adjusted. I will say it was a bit of a shock to see a 1080p screen after being accustomed to Retina Displays and 4K TVs. I prefer the higher FPS count on my RTX 3060 GPU, no need to upgrade with this monitor.

> 3 dayThis monitor has an excellent picture and is one of the most vibrant displays Ive ever purchased. However, its response time is slow and screen blur is almost unbearable. The monitor uses a VA panel that can bump out 4ms at minimum and I was looking for 1ms. So basically, this display would be really nice for editing photos or watching movies but i wouldnt recommend it for gaming. Especially not for competitive fps, as the response time is way worse than other products out there.

> 3 dayThis monitor is great if you’re wanting something that’s 1440 and can run at 160fps, but don’t want to spend ridiculous amounts of money. Build quality is great and has performed well so far. There was some slight screen stuttering when I first started using it, but it seems like the settings I eventually landed on has made them go away or become very minimal as I can’t see it happening anymore. Giving 4 stars just because of the screen stuttering at first, not sure if that’s something that is consistent among these monitors or not.

> 3 dayI just upgraded to this monitor and what a difference. I updated my whole computer 2 years ago but never change the monitor. I saw a huge difference then and I saw another one when I switched to this monitor. Fast response times and great fps. Cant beat this monitor for price.
