i mean i only have to pay 118,05 US$, and thats the rough price converted from danish krone which was (1.199,00 kr). So it's really only on amazon that it's expensive to buy
My son Adrian told me about this. Awesome!
Here i am sat watching Linus roast my monitor
For the price, it's perfect!
watching this on a 300 euro 1440p 144hz 34" ultrawide from aoc, hasn't disapointed me so far
That price still you say the cheapest? hmmmm… seems 1440p gaming still expensive for me, ill stick with 1080p for now 😂😂
That feature would be useful in an fps to highlight the map or navigation?
anyone has the best color settings for this monitor? i just bought this and cant figure out how to perfectly set its colors to use it for single player AAA games and video editing
I hope they make an updated video of this for 2024
i just got a AOC 2560×1440 240hz .5 ms rsp for 300$ its amazing also its curved 😀
Linus hasnt changed so much that i didnt even realise this is 4 years old
and 4 years later…its mine!
I want a review on AOC Q27G4X.
bought a xgaming 27in 2560x1440p 165hz freesync hdr 5ms all the same as that 250 one for $170 shipped. people dont realize amazon is overpriced and are funneled to it
VA is not for gaming
I think you messed up a little bit with the configuration of the monitor. You don't even know what the game mode do.
i miss this version of Linus
Redo this video
That is a dim monitor
i have aoc and im very happy with it????
Interesting. In the side by side where you were saying the bright monitor was better. I personally much preferred the aoc's picture
This seems like an extremely unfair comparison. You're comparing a 250$ monitor to a 500$ monitor. You're point makes more sense to compare it to one around the same price point
im sorry but that stealth hoodie aint stealthy if it aint all black or all camo
ok yo, that 1st monitor good, for that little brightness box, you can pretty much be like yah thats where my webcam would be in obs so i should move it so ppl can so blah blah blah and then move it accordingly
Ah yes, Pakistan has an Arabic sun, not the sun that the rest of he world has
I've had this monitor for about two years. I use it with my xbox series x at 1440p 120Hz need too put it in RTS mood for that too work tho. I dont see how he saying its not bright enough tho. It is for me on my x too bright sometimes lol. i put the x in night mood at 40% most of the time when im playing unless the sun is shining in. This monitor looks really good to me tho. cant beat buying it second hand for 50 bucks. I would recommend this AOC monitor for the series x for Sure !!
you can turn brightness on in game settings
*Koorui leaves the chat*
cual es la mejor configuracion para este monitor?
It's probably for mini maps and ui in video games for when you drop darkness or add contrast…
I'm also realizing that I'm 3 years late to this😂😂
Oh no 1080p. God forbid I have anything less than 4k.
Loved AOC the specs and durability is well above average considering the price.
I just got the same specs in 2023 for 160 dollars brand new from amazon
What was the settings you used on AOC?
i am literally linus
this one doesn’t exist anymore😫☹️
Do a z edge monitor i just got the Z-EDGE UG32 32" 2560×1440 2K QHD nervouse i made a mistake wont get for week or so
Just got this as a a replacement model, and it’s horrible compared to its 1080p counterpart. Can’t say I’m happy with it
Iv had this monitor for 4 years. It’s perfect only just has the screen started glitching a bit when it’s first turned on
