    Nice, but just lacks a better/more adjustable stand or vesa mount.

    No VESA mounting holes, if that matters to anyone.

    Bit hard to recommend this one. It’s a really nice looking monitor for the price and does work fairly well with G-Sync, however mine shipped with a noticeable cluster of dead pixels. I probably lost the lottery but it’s something to be weary of.

    • hippo2s on 04/05/2019 - 15:14

      bought mine from previous deal and different shop, but it developed a bright pixel vertical line after 1 month. Upon asking about warranty they said they will replace with refurbished unit and can not guarantee pristine exterior condition. I decided to keep the bright pixel line instead.

      You get what you pay for i guess.

    • Gerry H on 04/05/2019 - 15:46

      how many dead pixels? pretty sure if its 3 or more they'll replace?

      • dattodaniel on 04/05/2019 - 16:13

        Mine had about 8 or so but was again bought from another seller. Was told that they'd replace the monitor so I sent it back, but after waiting a fortnight they decided to just refund me as they weren't able to check the replacement monitor for defects prior to sending it out. Was a pretty disappointing result, wound up buying a Predator in the end.

      • hippo2s on 04/05/2019 - 16:34

        its not countable..it's a single pixel wide vertical line top to bottom, all the pixels in that line are all lit or stuck on whiteish colour.

        of course they will replace, but with a return unit that has been refurbished and probably already had a longer service life than 1 month. I figured it was a poor trade at the time considering mine was one month old only.

    • dzhay on 04/05/2019 - 21:11

      I have 3 of these monitors and they're great for the price - except for the lack of VESA holes mentioned above. Factoring in price, the best monitors I've ever bought.

      I don't understand how 'I got some dead pixels' means that you can't recommend something. Is there any suggestion that they suffer from poor QC or something? (Given the price I suppose that wouldn't be surprising).

      • dattodaniel on 05/05/2019 - 01:04

        It is possible considering the few here which have had issues with their display. I noticed the finish of the plastic bezel surrounding the panel was a bit rough with raised edges, although that didn't really bother me personally. I would've definitely held onto the AOC provided the defect wasn't such an eyesore.

    This one's a tricky one, depending on your usage but I wouldn't use it for "gaming". 75 Hz just isn't worth it.

    Great price for a 31.5" 1440p, however, just isn't a very good gaming monitor imo.

    • scuderiarmani on 04/05/2019 - 15:09
      +11

      In fairness those in the market for a budget monitor probably aren't geared up with high end components so maybe the 75hz at 1440p will be more than adequate.

      Beats a typical office 60hz monitor anyway.

    • lonepine on 04/05/2019 - 16:11

      I use it for gaming. Works fine.

    • Viper8 on 04/05/2019 - 18:19

        If we're lucky.
        Maybe i was more sensible with money than most. Gaming for 35yrs. Can't think how much thousands of hours I played single player with best settings possible for 30fps. Hell, RTS games would drop to 15fps at times, based on my settings/preferences.

        When I'd finally splash out on great b4b hardware, I'd race to crank up full res & settings. Yep, looked awesome, but then what? Same game. Not like the 90's where AdLib music/voices needed a 2MB RAM upgrade & sound card, or get stuck with blip-blop sounds.

        Still running HD 22", looking at finally moving to cheapest 32" 4K.

        (cool story bro)

        • Viper8 on 05/05/2019 - 08:47
          +2

          I'd love a 4k screen but you need a 2080 Ti to power it not to mention Windows scaling is mediocre at best. :(
          1440p at 27" seems to be a nice middle ground.

    • Flinchy on 05/05/2019 - 00:36
      +3

      The necessity of absurd framerates to game on is overblown

      I'd rather have more pixels with less frames

      I can't even hit 75fps in a modern game at 2k lol

  • mortyestmorty on 04/05/2019 - 15:15

    Can anyone share their experiences with a 32 inch 1440p monitor and the PPI? If I use it at a typical desk viewing distance will I see pixels on the screen?

    • ozturtle on 04/05/2019 - 15:25

      Very borderline imo, if you're fussy about these sorts of things you probably will.

    • stinkydog on 04/05/2019 - 15:25

      Struggle to see pixels on this one myself. Much better than my 24" 1080p Philips monitors from 2014. Bought our 1440p from PLE Wangara last month for 300, no issues with it yet. Viewing angle is good, not so good if you work in a nosy office and need things to remain private. Colours are excellent and refresh rate is a huge step up. If watching movies and high speed gaming is your thing, it may pay to look for something higher than this 75hz refresh rate.

    • lachhelix on 04/05/2019 - 15:26

      I have this exact monitor and sit 40cm away and have no issues

      • lonepine on 04/05/2019 - 16:18

        I sit about 40cm away too (pretty close), and it looks great

      • dcep on 04/05/2019 - 16:24

    • Thommo on 04/05/2019 - 15:42

      As one of the reviews states, is the same pixel density as 1080p on a 24 inch.

      • mortyestmorty on 04/05/2019 - 15:58

        Sorry, just so I understand PPI correctly, if I have a 24" 1080p monitor and the closest I can get to it without it being pixellated is say 50cm, then that means I can have a 1440p 32" monitor 50cm away and it will look the same just bigger?

        • dcep on 04/05/2019 - 16:30
          +1

          yes it'll look the same just bigger as in more screen estate

    • m2000 on 04/05/2019 - 15:44

      It should be equivalent in term of pixel sizes to a 24" monitor (full HD)

      no

    • scuderiarmani on 04/05/2019 - 16:47

      I have a 34 3440x1440 Ultra Wide next to a 32 2560x1440 and it's a huge difference.

      The increased height of the 32 makes text and pixels very noticeable in comparison. I never use it for text.

      If I didn't have the 34 next to it, it wouldn't feel as bad…

      I think ideally 32 should be be 4k at normal viewing distances. I also wear glasses FWIW.

    • garage sale on 04/05/2019 - 20:26

      yep you will see pixels as i had 32” 1440 p monitor …then i bought a 28” 4k monitor and you can’t see the pixels .
      primary purpose is office work not gaming for me ….

    • dzhay on 04/05/2019 - 21:12

      no issues with pixel density here.

    • burns13 on 04/05/2019 - 21:12

      You will notice pixels if you're picky. Initially was critical of it but now I hardly notice. The good far outweighs the bad

    • Flinchy on 05/05/2019 - 00:37

      No, it's not an issue worth thinking about

      1080p yeah for sure

  • GunnerMcDagget on 04/05/2019 - 16:33

    Bought one of these a while back and returned it a few days later. Could have just been a bad unit but it gave me bad motion sickness Everytime I tried to game on it.

    I carried out the UFO ghosting test on it and regardless of the setting there was always massive amounts of ghosting.

    As I said, could have just been a bad unit.

    • hippo2s on 04/05/2019 - 17:18
      +1

      if I recall correctly there were two versions of this monitor one was TF (?) type and other is IPS. The TF type had bad delays and ghosting. Reading the post this is IPS version.

      • GunnerMcDagget on 04/05/2019 - 18:08

        That sounds right. I recall it being a non-IPS panel.

      • Flinchy on 05/05/2019 - 00:45

        VA is the other version - the ghosting is overblown, Ive got one and I don't notice it at all personally.

  • davedrastic on 04/05/2019 - 16:53

    I have a 27" AOC, which I think cost $199 or less - it was very good value at the time.

    It's a good monitor, although i'm no expert - just use it for MS office and PS4.

    Having said that, it would have been wiser to have invested a little more to get a monitor with more HDMI inputs, and / or built in USB hub.

    And, if anyone's wondering, no one would want to use the built in speaker. A cheap external speaker or notebook speaker would be far superior.

      • Aerith-Waifu on 04/05/2019 - 21:33

    • mortyestmorty on 04/05/2019 - 18:32

      Keep in mind that 1080p movies will be scaled on a 1440p screen so they may not have the clarity you're expecting.

      • hippo2s on 05/05/2019 - 18:29

        but that's not a fault of the monitor or his setup, that's just … putting crap petrol into a high performance car.

        • mortyestmorty on 05/05/2019 - 18:46

          But if this person is asking about how to connect their tablet to the screen then they may not be aware. 1440p is not recommended for movies and TV because 1080p needs to be upscaled and 4K needs to be downscaled. 1440p is a PC resolution, not for media consumption. Someone would be much more satisfied watching movies on a 1080p or 4K screen and I think either of them would be a smarter decision in the short term and long term.

          • Major Mess on 05/05/2019 - 20:08

            @mortyestmorty: Modern video cards have awesome scalers.

            • mortyestmorty on 05/05/2019 - 20:51

              @Major Mess: Because 1440p is only 1.7x 1080p, doesn't that have an effect on scaling? At least 4K is exactly 4x bigger and I thought it scaled better because it's a whole number and square pixels have four sides.

      I've got this monitor and it works fine with my Rx480. I can run BFV at 1440p albeit not with max graphics settings but it still looks nice and runs well enough, depends how many FPS you find suitable (with my custom settings and running at 2k resolution I get between 38-60fps, probably unacceptable for some but for a casual like me it's fine). Games at 1080p should be no worries. It's an older card so it's never going to get high fps but it can power this monitor no issues in 1080p and 2k.

    • Flinchy on 05/05/2019 - 00:46
