AOC China reveals 300Hz QHD Mini-LED display

AOC China has unveiled the Q27G4SMN, a new 27-inch VA monitor with a Mini LED backlight. The display features a native QHD resolution and a 300Hz refresh rate, a much higher refresh rate than we've typically seen in Mini-LED monitors

The Q27G4SMN employs 1152 Quantum Dot (QD) Mini-LED zones to achieve DisplayHDR 1000 certification and a peak brightness of 1200 nits. This level of local dimming control should significantly boost the native 5000:1 contrast ratio of the Fast VA panel. A 1 ms G2G response time, 10-bit colour depth, 97% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, and colour calibration with a Delta-E value of less than 2 are other specs worth mentioning on this monitor.

Connectivity is solid, if slightly limited on the PC front. The monitor includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, but only one DisplayPort 1.4 connection. This DP 1.4 connection is likely necessary for the full 300 Hz refresh rate at 1440p resolution. The display supports FreeSync to eliminate screen tearing and features a motion-blur reduction mode.

Ergonomics are pretty decent, featuring a stand that supports height adjustment (130mm), tilt, swivel, and pivot. While the AOC Q27G4SMN has been detailed for China, pricing and availability information for the West are still unknown. However, it's quite common to see AOC China monitors appear in the West, even if they end up being named differently.

KitGuru says: How much would you be willing to pay for a monitor with these specs?
