Product Information

And that's it! Don't worry too much about the little message that says 'Selected Display is not validated as G-Sync Compatible'. That's just alerting you that the monitor isn't one of Nvidia's official G-Sync Compatible monitors, so your G-Sync experience may not be the absolute bestest best available. The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. A 27 inch monitor builds on all the fantastic elements of a 24 inch screen by making them bigger, better, and faster. They provide a brilliant balance between screen and desk space, a wider FOV (field of view) that lets you see more on screen, and increased pixel density to really bring visuals to life. This makes 27 inch monitors ideal for a variety of different work, but spreadsheets don't have the same visual impact as a blisteringly fast-paced video game. If you are someone who loves gaming and wants the best experience, or a designer who needs as much space as possible for multiple windows and apps, a 27 inch monitor is going to be your new best friend. Manufacturers such as Acer, BenQ, Samsung, and many others are producing some of the best 27 inch monitors out there. Perfect for work, study, and leisure, we have some of the best 27 inch monitors right here at Ebuyer.

Moving on, the AOC G2490VX input lag amounts to ~5ms, so you won’t be able to notice any delays between your actions and the result on the screen.Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. Calibrating the AOC G2790VX can reduce its dE average to 1.08 which is even better and suitable for editing work. However, many will be happy with the monitor’s default settings plus a few minor tweaks, so getting a colorimeter isn’t necessary. It is only necessary if you are into content creation or editing, but you should be looking for a better monitor with a higher resolution. Before Nvidia introduced their G-Sync Compatible driver, monitors fell into two categories: Nvidia G-Sync monitors, which required you to own an Nvidia graphics card, and AMD Freesync monitors, which (you guessed it) worked with AMD graphics cards. Now, though, thanks to Nvidia's G-Sync Compatible driver, Nvidia graphics card owners can also buy an AMD Freesync monitor and still take advantage of the screen's variable refresh rate tech. This opens up loads more of today's best gaming monitors for you, too. However, if you need to execute colour-critical tasks, such as colour grading videos or editing images, you need to make sure that the monitor displays the colours correctly. Without a proper calibration, colours might be displayed in different hues on other displays. For instance, what you see as a true red in your digital creation might be displayed as more of a pink or orange on another person’s display – assuming their monitor shows accurate colours. In short, without calibrating, the colours displayed might not be true and therefore make colour-sensitive jobs unnecessarily complicated.

There’s an sRGB mode in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu that’s supposed to restrict the color gamut to ~100% sRGB for a more accurate sRGB color representation, but its accuracy varies across different units of the monitor.

Why should I buy a 27 inch monitor?

The AOC G2790VX renders 99% sRGB and 93% of DCI-P3 which is excellent for a budget gaming monitor. it also looks like it was factory-calibrated since the deltaE average is only at 2.07 so most users won’t have to calibrate it. AOC claimed that the dE score should be less than 2.0, but we’re happy with what it provided considering how affordable it is. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. This monitor isn’t too big, but its circular base takes up more space than the y-shaped stands found on other G models like the AOC 24G2. However, it only needs 8 inches of depth so it won’t displace your other peripherals when setting up. It doesn’t weigh a lot at 14 pounds, but it’s one of the less portable options out there for LAN gaming with your buddies.

Responsiveness for the AOC G2790VX is great even if the AOC G2790VX is using a VA panel. The G2790PX has the advantage in this regard since it has a faster TN panel that doesn’t have persistence and smudging. However, using this monitor’s overdrive function sparingly can cure the minor blurring issues, although be wary of maxing it out since it will induce overshoot. Note that the AOC G2490VX also goes by the following names: AOC G2490VXA, AOC G2490W1G4 and Alpha Scan AOC G2490 — these are all identical.Manufacturers such as Acer, BenQ, Samsung, and many others are producing some of the best 27 inch monitors out there.

Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. After calibration, you’ll be surprised about how AOC’s display expertise and high-quality panels ensure that most AOC monitors require only small amounts of calibration or no significant changes at all. Moving on, the AOC G2490VX features a wide 93% DCI-P3 color gamut (equivalent to ~126% sRGB) for more saturated and lifelike colors, and it has true 8-bit color depth support (16.7 million colors without dithering).

OSD settings are recommended and related to the calibration process which produces the ICC profile. You may or may not find them useful on their own. Combining them with the attached ICC profile is recommended To achieve truly accurate results, you would need to use a calibration device on your own screen and system and profile the screen with it yourself.Now, the specifications seem to be too good for the price — and they are; the GtG pixel response time speed is the slowest we’ve seen on a high refresh rate display.
