Very good monitor, with a few drawbacks
I have been using the M27QX for office, video editing and gaming for a few weeks now, running it at 60 and 240 Hz. Both frame rates are reproduced flawlessly. The factory setting is a little oversaturated, so I would recommend a manual colour adjustment. Unfortunately, my model has a dead pixel, but it is located in the lower left corner and is practically unnoticeable in everyday use. All in all, a solid 240 Hz monitor that is, however, sold a little too expensively in Europe. G-SYNC is possible, by the way - even if not officially confirmed.
Pro
- Picture quality convincing, no overshoot or ghosting noticeable
- Menu with many adjustment options and picture modes
- Simple, slim design - no superfluous gamer RGB stuff
- G-SYNC
Contra
- Dead pixel, slight backlight bleeding
- Awakens somewhat sluggishly from standby mode
- Limited mobility with supplied stand
Good for gaming and home office
Thanks to the many connections and the good picture quality, the monitor is suitable both for the home office and for gaming. A Swiss power supply cable was not included (DE and UK cables were).
Pro
- Very good picture quality
- Many connections
- HDMI and DP cables supplied
Contra
- Moderate loudspeakers
- No CH power supply cable
Good value, very smooth, very wow.
I paid about 1CHF per 1Hz on this monitor and honestly as of now I had absolutely no issues besides having to adjust the colors and brightness which is all pretty easy to do in the monitors various and easy to navigate menus.
Also I thought that I will not be using the integrated KVM at all but turns out you are able to use the 2x USB ports for charging as well (needs to be enables in the settings) so I plugged in my Switch controller and it's incredibly convenient to have!
Pro
- High refresh rate for relatively low price (bought for 230.-)
- Great stand design
- Viewing angles
- 2x USB ports can be usedfor charging
Contra
- Colors require slight adjustment in the settings, no big deal
- The speakers... they exist alright... (they're not very good, get headphones)
I had hoped for more for the price difference compared to the AOC I had before.
Good operation with one monitor. With more than one, it is hardly accessible at the back.
The monitor does not make any streaks when scrolling in Excel, which was also the reason why I replaced the AOC.Pro
