AOC Q27G3XMN
AOC Q27G3XMN
The AOC Q27G3XMN is my budget champion because it punches way above its weight with Mini-LED HDR performance. You get 1440p at 180Hz, great brightness for the price, and the rare ability to use local dimming in both SDR and HDR—just keep in mind it’s VA, so dark-scene smearing can show up.
You'll be taken to Geni to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Excellent value for budget-conscious gamers
- +1440p resolution is a great balance of sharpness and performance

Cons
- -Some black smearing in dark scenes (typical VA behavior)
