AGON by AOC Unveils the C27G4ZXE 27-inch 280Hz Curved Gaming Monitor
AGON by AOC—one of the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brands - is excited to unveil the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE, a curved 27-inch (68.6 cm) Full HD monitor that pushes the boundaries of immersive, high-refresh rate gaming. Part of the new G4 gaming line-up announced this year, the new C27G4ZXE boasts a sleek, "stealth-fighter" inspired angular design, a 1500R curvature, and an impressive 280 Hz refresh rate, making it the perfect choice for gamers to enjoy titles ranging from story-driven action and RPG titles to fast-paced racing, simulation or shooter titles.
The C27G4ZXE features a modern design with a grey and black colour scheme that seamlessly blends into any gaming setup. The monitor's slim bezels and sharp lines of the chassis create a sleek and attractive appearance reminiscent of a stealth aircraft, while the simple, compact stand provides a stable base without detracting from the monitor's overall aesthetic and offering ample space for esports enthusiasts to move keyboard and mouse around. With its 100x100 VESA mount compatibility, the C27G4ZXE also fits multi-monitor setups with monitor arms.
Immersion with 1500R curvature
The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE's soft 1500R curvature wraps gently around the user's field of view without distorting the visuals, creating a truly immersive gaming experience. The curved screen mimics the natural curvature of the human eye, providing a more comfortable and engaging viewing experience during extended gaming sessions. Whether diving into the cockpit of a racing simulator or exploring vast, open worlds, the C27G4ZXE's curvature draws gamers deeper into the action.
Lightning-fast 280 Hz refresh rate for competitive edge
With an astonishing 280 Hz refresh rate, the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE delivers incredibly smooth and responsive gameplay, giving gamers the competitive edge they need in fast-paced titles. At the highest pixel overdrive setting, the monitor can achieve up to 1 ms GtG response time, ensuring that ghosting and motion blur are minimised. Where the motion clarity is at utmost importance, the C27G4ZXE features an enhanced MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) mode using a strobing backlight, rendering pixel transitions indiscernible and reducing the MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) to an impressive 0.3 ms for virtually blur-free visuals.
Full HD resolution for optimal performance
The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE's Full HD resolution (1920x1080) strikes the ideal balance between visual clarity and performance. This resolution allows even mid-range GPUs to achieve the monitor's impressive 280 Hz refresh rate in a majority of titles, ensuring that gamers can enjoy the full benefits of the C27G4ZXE's lightning-fast performance from day one without requiring top-of-the-line hardware.
High-contrast Fast VA panel with HDR10 support
The C27G4ZXE features a high-contrast Fast VA panel with a 4000:1 contrast ratio, delivering deep blacks and vibrant colours for a stunning visual experience. Coupled with the HDR10 support, the monitor can display a wider range of brightness and colour levels, bringing out intricate details in both dark and bright scenes, further enhancing the immersion in the game world.
Adaptive-Sync for tear-free gaming
To eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE supports Adaptive-Sync technology, synchronising the monitor's refresh rate with the GPU's output for a seamless and fluid gaming experience. This technology ensures that gamers can enjoy smooth gameplay without distracting visual artifacts, regardless of their graphics card.
High-refresh family for different needs
The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE joins the affordable family of gaming monitors offering 280 Hz refresh rates launched by AGON by AOC this summer, such as the 27G2ZN3/BK with its Flat 27-inch Fast VA panel and height-adjustable stand, or the C27G2Z3/BK with its curved 27-inch Fast VA panel and a height-adjustable stand as well.
Pricing and availability
The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE will be available from July 2024, backed by a 3-year warranty, at an attractive MSRP of £219.99.

AOC continues to release a DOA monitor after DOA monitor.
No one thinks about useability of these "features".

"There are too many monitors and not enough reviews". As far as I can tell this is the exact same thing as the last one they announced, and it's guilty of being shit until proven otherwise by a decent review.
When the majority of VA gaming monitors are truly awful, you need to get review samples sent out to anyone who asks, because without evidence that this monitor isn't a smeary, unusable turd, that's the expectation the monitor industry has set for gaming VA panels of this calibre.
Unless you see a review contradicting this, untested VA gaming monitors are worse than most ultra-cheap 60Hz IPS office monitors. Even slow IPS is better than 30-40ms VA smear.
That's how you do business. (but you wouldn't know).
And 1080p is preferable than to be stuck at 2160p and then whining about Nvidia's prices because you have no other choice than paying them what they ask for.
Please continue whining ... it's funny.
So, now please stop the trolling.
Please go buy a 8K TV and hook it to your PC. Nobody is preventing you from this 'innovation'.
A large majority of people don't think 4K is useful or worth the price you have to pay for it.
Hence its value is quite limited.
Do you hear yourself ?
Most people have 4K TV.
Gamers are quite aware of the price of a GPU needed to drive 4K.
I think most of them would rather buy 2 PS5 for that price.
But if 220 was my max budget I definitely wouldn't be buying a 280hz HDR monitor because the likely beyond budget VA panel is going to be a blurry mess but hopefully some proper reviews will come out and surprise everyone but I kinda doubt it.

Some people have real problems with how reality works.
Won't change the fact that you will continue paying a lot for playing at 1440p and 2160p.
Jeeez...
However this monitor is pointless, 27" is too large for 1080P and 27" is too small for a curved screen.
And curved should be 'curved', because that kind of curve or nothing, it's pretty much the same thing.
Also, there is a very large difference between owning a 4K 24-28" PC monitor, and a large 50-55" 4K TV.
There are still people buying FHD TVs, but 4K is in my sense pretty much the norm for TVs, so everybody understands what 4K is. 8K TVs are suprisingly cheap.
Also, stop watching TV : it helps with the condition you have.

Just went to DELL USA website and checked the monitors they produce and sell.
46.67% are 1080p, 31,67% are 1440p and 21,67% are 2160p (of those 3 categories)
Of the 1080p monitors, 28,57% are 27", second largest category behind 24" (46,43%)
In 1440p, 27" is the largest category (47,37%)
In 2160p, 27" is the second largest category (30,77%) behind 32" (38,46%)
Not speaking of sales numbers we don't have, but 1080p is almost half the offering.
Also 27" seems a size people like.
