The AOC Q27G3XMN is a 27-inch budget gaming monitor. It's rather unique for a low-cost monitor as it features Mini LED backlighting with 336 dimming zones, which is something mainly more expensive monitors have. It also has VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification to ensure a high brightness and contrast ratio. Besides that, it's focused on gaming as it has a VA panel with a 1440p resolution and a 180Hz max refresh rate. It also has variable refresh rate (VRR) support. It comes with an ergonomic stand, one DisplayPort 1.4 input and two HDMI 2.0 ports, but other than that, it's barebones in extra features.
