AOC Gaming 16G3 - 16 Inch Portable monitor, FHD, 144Hz, IPS, Speakers, AOC G Menu, Ergo Base stand, Vesa mount, FreeSync (HDMI 1.4 / Micro HDMI 2.0 / USB-C)

Very happy with this monitor. HDR looks very good indeed and the screen is able to get very bright making HDR content really pop. As it’s a VA panel the blanks are inky blank too compared to the washed out blacks you’ll see on an LCD panel. Monitors far more expensive than this don’t have HDR or have a poor HDR implementation, so if you’re looking for a great value good performer that renders HDR content incredibly well, you can’t really go wrong here. Reading reviews about VA panels online, I was worried about the smearing effect but honestly, if you need a high performance camera to try and spot it, for any normal human eyes, you’re not going to notice it. I certainly have had no issues gaming on this and the high refresh rate will keep the pixel peeping idiots that need absolute perfection fairly happy I’m sure. Can’t comment on the speakers as I use separate speakers for my PC but I’d assume they’re fairly mediocre like most built in monitor speakers. I use a £30 Creative speaker setup which is more than enough for my needs. Also, the OSD when setting it up at first is a bit slow and fiddly but once it’s setup you don’t need to touch it again, so no big dramas there. Overall, an amazing monitor and for a price that can’t really be beaten given the HDR capabilities, nice resolution and inky blacks from the VA panel. As I say, for any normal human eyes I think you’ll be very pleased. Other reviewers seem to agree here as well it seems. **UPDATE** This monitor does not have any built in speakers. As metioned in my review, not a problem as I use a set of external speakers, and built in speakers would probably sound pretty poor anyway, but thought I'd update my review to highlight their absence on this monitor. Still a great screen though, and everything I mention above still stands. Recommended.

This is a fantastic monitor that I've owned for over 8 months now. I absolutely recommend it for all types of PC/gaming content, I've used the hell out of it for all types of gaming as my primary display. The colour accuracy and refresh rate are excellent which makes playing games on it a pleasure, for the price I'm not sure you can get much better than this. I've played all kinds of games from FPS to MMOs and even hooked up my Switch 2 to it and everything just looks excellent and pops really well! I will say that I've barely used the HDR features as I find HDR on windows to be a complete pain to use so my primary mode has been SDR, though the few times I did use it for HDR it did look really good and the whites/blacks look amazing even on SDR. Though I do plan to upgrade, I will absolutely be keeping this as second monitor as it easily outmatches my current one even just for browsing or spreadsheets. This was the first 1440p screen I've owned and I could not have had a better experience with it.

Overall a very good niche offering. Used as a secondary display for both working and gaming. Set at 125% windows scaling, it is similar sizing to 1080p although much sharper. -Very smooth and responsive with low input lag. 24” at 1440 is noticeably cleaner and more crisp than 27”. Ideal for small desks and colour accuracy is good too. -The stand takes up too much space as it protrudes at the back. As it’s not a wide gamut display, the monitor only covers the standard srgb colour spectrum so media can look a little undersaturated compared to modern screens. No dedicated toggle/switch control for the osd, instead you have to manually select and interact with each button. It’s very clunky and tedious.

Great monitor the picture is incredible and the refresh rate is life changing, the stand is alright but wobble if you have a wobble desk but on a solid desk it’s study. The 27 inch size is the perfect size for 1440p.

Wow, blew my socks off! Managed to get this on Amazon renew for around £350. What a bargain that was! Incredible colours, incredible dark blacks, excellent quality and sharpness for the price. I upgraded from a BenQ Mobius 27” curved. While it’s a great monitor with fantastic speakers, I’d out grown it as I use my monitor for both work (MacBook) and high intensity games like CoD. I opted for the 32” IPA screen with adjustable stand. The IPA is much better for me, functions as a tv when I need it too as well. The input lag being so small on this monitor is definitely noticeable for me and is a vast improvement, no more issues with opps being able to shoot me before I even lift my gun lol. If you can pick this item up on Amazon Renew then it’s absolutely worth it, easy to set up, and just plug speakers in through the headphone jack. To clarify the model I got does not come with speakers so you do have to drop maybe £70 extra on decent ones. I went with the Anker speaker as I have their lower end model and sounds great.

Broke out of nowhere. Ive never dropped or hit the monitor. Very disappointing.

After a lot of reasearch and reading many reviews, I decided upon this one. The monitor was literally take it out of the box and assemble the stand and then plug it in, simple. I had read that the buttons on the monitor were a bit slow and fiddly to tune the monitor and it was best to download the monitor software (I-Menu) and do it that way, this is true, its so easy to set it up with this software. I have tuned it to my satisfaction for now, but will let the monitor burn in for a week or two and then retune again if required, would I recommend this monitor, definately.

Firstly, this thing is huge - 31.5" is quite an upgrade in size from even a 27" monitor. It takes up a hefty amount of desktop real-estate and the monitor stand sticks out quite a bit. The stand itself is very basic - the only adjustment you can do is tilting the screen back or forward, but for me this is fine. Going on from that, however: the display is beautiful and sharp, and seemed to come from the factory without any special tweaks. It's plenty bright once you bump it up from the default of 25%. The monitor controls are a little bit cumbersome to use, but honestly it's not something that I go into every day, so it hardly matters. I use this for a mixture of work, web browsing, and gaming, and for this it excels with its 2 HDMI ports and single DP port. The included USB hub is a bonus, but I haven't made use of it yet. A bonus is that the power supply is built-in to the monitor, so there's no extra power adapter - just a standard "kettle lead" (IEC C13) cable, which is included. I definitely recommend this monitor, just make sure you have a place big enough to put it!
