That too with 1080p res on a 27 inch screen. You'd probably need a wireless keyboard to sit back around 7 feet to not see the huge individual pixels. Fugly
If your aim is to gain an advantage over competitors in e-sports, as long as the image quality is good enough to not adversely impact your ability to play, it's good enough.
It's going to be hard to find a graphics card that can produce a steady 240 FPS even at 1080p, so I think the resolution is appropriate for this monitor.
TN tech has progressed a LOT since the days of those ubiquitous (and horrible) early 4:3 LCD displays. I was initially worried about it too but after making the plunge I continue to be impressed by my Dell 144hz 1440p TN. No, the colors aren't as good as the $700 msrp IPS next to it but it's more than good enough and you only really notice on very dark scenes where color banding occurs. The gaming experience is very noticeably better than on the IPS displays I was used to
It's not a gaming monitor, but wow. Twice the pixel density, 4083x more colors, 2.5x the contrast, better viewing angles and cheaper: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14600/aocs-professi... Only downside is the response time.
No, the latest iteration of fast response time TN tech. The target of these monitors are gamers who want the fastest refresh rates and TN is the only way to get there.
There's millions of players of eSports games for which this monitor is relevant and exciting news.
Ugh "Lowblue Light Mode (protects eyes against harmful blue light wavelengths without affecting color composition)" I hate that this lie still gets spread.
Yes, and I'm sure it also is capable of 240hz with variable refresh rate. I'm sure the color accuracy is just as good too, not to mention the response time.
Not sure what you're talking about, but it's actually pretty legit to drink from the storage tank, especially if the toilet is frequently flushed. This is usually what people mean, when they talk about drinking from toilets.
Drinking from the bowl is just stupid and dangerous.

most competitive gamers use low settings. my gpu can hit 400fps with only 50% loadDestoya - Wednesday, July 3, 2019 - link

Except IPS panels are no longer $700 and you will have to put up with only 262k colors when you are not gaming, for the life of the monitor.I never understood the logic of cheaping out on something most people probably stare at for hours per day.

response time. ips has way more motion blur. i never understood how someone can use ips. such a blurry choppy experience compared to 240hz.also frc is very good on 240hz due to the high refresh rate. so 16mil colors is more like it.
i guess too many people are living in 2013 still spouting off the same things that stopped being true a long time ago.

It's also only 350cd/m which pretty much negates any other possible positives it may haveBeaver M. - Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - link
TN hasnt progressed a lot.Color Shift actually has become far far worse than the last time I tested a TN panel in the early 10s.

After testing VAs and modern IPS I am actually starting to look at TN again.Unlike VA it doesnt have issues with blurring and thus slow response times. Also no VA glow or texture flickering.
Unlike IPS it doesnt have issues with IPS glow and contrast in dark games. Its also still faster than IPS and has far less back light bleeding.
Sure, you will have color shift and bad viewing angles with TN, but its overall the best panel if youre even only slightly a competitive player.

I have the 27" Gsync IPS AGON display and it's greatbut honestly it seems hard to justify $380 for a 1080p TN display when I got my 165hz IPS gsync module version 2 years ago for only $500?

Not at this price. My AOC 19 inch monitor 10 years ago is less than $200.Vitor - Thursday, July 4, 2019 - link
Plenty of inflation since then. Dont believe the official BS numbers on inflation released by the FED.mode_13h - Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - link
