Heat was no problem with our CQ27G2 sample. A narrow grill provides a styling cue and ample ventilation for internal components. In back, you can see more red trim on the panel and upright. Movements are firm and have a quality feel there is no play or wobble here. There is no portrait mode, not unusual for a curved monitor. The stand offers a 5.1-inch height adjustment with 30° swivel to both sides and 5/23° of tilt. The anti-glare layer is effective in its purpose and tightly fitted for a clear grain-free image. Aside from the panel’s curve, you won’t find any roundness here. The base is covered in a silvery-gray plastic with sharp angles. Red trim is used sparingly across the front, at the base and in back to break up the monotony of black plastic. The CQ27G2 features basic styling that will appeal to gamers and general users equally well. It is a bit less bright than most of its competition at a rated 250 nits but its killer black levels more than make up for that.

Though it doesn’t include HDR, it delivers a very high contrast ratio over 3600:1 right out of the box. You can expect at least double the dynamic range of an IPS or TN screen and sometimes even triple, like the AOC CQ27G2. 24.1 x 15.7-20.8 x 9 inches (612 x 399-528 x 229mm)Ĭontrast is always our top consideration when reviewing monitors and any display with a VA panel already has an advantage.
