The short version

AOC's 27G50F is a 27-inch 1920x1080 flat IPS monitor with a 300-nit rating, 4 ms GtG response and a maximum 180 Hz in AOC's overclock mode, plus Adaptive-Sync, MBR Sync and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certification. It connects through HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4. It suits first-time or budget gaming builds. Its tilt-only stand and 1080p resolution at 27 inches are the main compromises, and Best Buy's listing describes the panel as 144 Hz.

Pros

  • G-SYNC Compatible with Adaptive-Sync and MBR Sync
  • DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 inputs
  • Light 2.84 kg panel with VESA 100x100 mounting
