Stop it! The market is so saturated with these type i'm surprised they are not being given away to people. I can't believe they are priced so high still.
If people weren't dumb enough to buy them, they wouldn't be making them. That being said, 409 euro is ridiculous for a 24" 1080p TN monitor. I don't care what the refresh rate is.
That guy with the full face mask and shoulder bird in their marketing images, who is that targeted at? Its really creepy looking. I think I would buy some other monitor specifically to avoid Deadface McGee and his "lookit-mah-gunz-duh-hyuck!" pose.
I've had a 1440p/110hz monitor for about 9 years, and I paid $450 for it, shipped from Korea.
Its not DCI-P3... but still, it seems like these 1440p monitor advances have slowed to a crawl, which is curious since one can get more HDR-capable 43" TVs for less money these days. Some will even take 1440p120 input.
Why are you posting this trite info. Bare bones high refresh rate, low res, non hdr monitors? Dime a dozen these days. Post for things like real HDR monitors with real decent specs. Especially HDR and solid VRR support. I'm suck of companies boasting about big standard brightness and subpar resolution in the trend to high refresh rates.
Dat base for the 27" monitor... Dat third leg means it will fall off the back or hit the wall on many desks. Older office desks were made for CRT depths, but newer ones aren't. Home desks in particular often aren't as deep as office desks.
Also, 2x USB ports isn't really enough on the monitor. My Dell monitor has 5x USB ports, and all 5 are full - USB ethernet, webcam, Logitech dongle, phone charging lead, etc. Really nice being able to plug in my laptop with just a Displayport cable and USB3 upstream cable to the monitor and everything else comes online, with all the cables neatly hidden in the monitor.
I got the 27" AOC AG271QG with G-Sync on release for 700€, considering the cost of G-Sync module, this makes the new one more expensive than the monitor I got 3y ago.
Sure, they use different IPS type and the new one will definitely look better but I don't see why it should still cost this much. If it was around 399€ it would make a lot more sense imo...

So they are pricing the LG panel higher then LG? Not to mention that the is a slew of 240hz TN for way less.This isn't a smart move like their 24G2 or 27G2 IPS 144hz that offer excellent value.

It's those LEDs on the back. They make everything better.Samus - Saturday, August 1, 2020 - link
You'd think they could actually put some money into PWM backlighting if they were going to throw gimmicks at the ambilight ripoffbrucethemoose - Saturday, August 1, 2020 - link
Isnt PWM backlighting bad? Analog brightness adjustment = no flicker.JlHADJOE - Saturday, August 1, 2020 - link
Agreed. I can't think of any single case where PWM is better.imaheadcase - Friday, July 31, 2020 - link

wtf, who is buying TN monitors for this price and consider AOC is not expensive brand for monitors? It should have gone down years agoTomatotech - Saturday, August 1, 2020 - link

Small typo:The 24.5" 1080p TN panel has a 90 PPI pixel density, not 110 PPI. 2203 diagonal pixels / 24.5 inches = 89.91 PPI = ~ 90 PPI.
