The advertising points from AOC include:
- Immersion with 1500R curvature
- “The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE’s soft 1500R curvature wraps gently around the user’s field of view without distorting the visuals, creating a truly immersive gaming experience. The curved screen mimics the natural curvature of the human eye, providing a more comfortable and engaging viewing experience during extended gaming sessions. Whether diving into the cockpit of a racing simulator or exploring vast, open worlds, the C27G4ZXE’s curvature draws gamers deeper into the action.”
- Lightning-fast 280 Hz refresh rate for competitive edge
- “With an astonishing 280 Hz refresh rate, the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE delivers incredibly smooth and responsive gameplay, giving gamers the competitive edge they need in fast-paced titles. At the highest pixel overdrive setting, the monitor can achieve up to 1 ms GtG response time, ensuring that ghosting and motion blur are minimised. Where the motion clarity is at utmost importance, the C27G4ZXE features an enhanced MBR (Motion Blur Reduction) mode using a strobing backlight, rendering pixel transitions indiscernible and reducing the MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) to an impressive 0.3 ms for virtually blur-free visuals.”
- Full HD resolution for optimal performance
- “The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE’s Full HD resolution (1920×1080) strikes the ideal balance between visual clarity and performance. This resolution allows even mid-range GPUs to achieve the monitor’s impressive 280 Hz refresh rate in a majority of titles, ensuring that gamers can enjoy the full benefits of the C27G4ZXE’s lightning-fast performance from day one without requiring top-of-the-line hardware.”
- High-contrast Fast VA panel with HDR10 support
- “The C27G4ZXE features a high-contrast Fast VA panel with a 4000:1 contrast ratio, delivering deep blacks and vibrant colours for a stunning visual experience. Coupled with the HDR10 support, the monitor can display a wider range of brightness and colour levels, bringing out intricate details in both dark and bright scenes, further enhancing the immersion in the game world.”
- Adaptive-Sync for tear-free gaming
- “To eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, the AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE supports Adaptive-Sync technology, synchronising the monitor’s refresh rate with the GPU’s output for a seamless and fluid gaming experience. This technology ensures that gamers can enjoy smooth gameplay without distracting visual artifacts, regardless of their graphics card.”
- High-refresh family for different needs
- “The AOC GAMING C27G4ZXE joins the affordable family of gaming monitors offering 280 Hz refresh rates launched by AGON by AOC this summer, such as the 27G2ZN3/BK with its Flat 27-inch Fast VA panel and height-adjustable stand, or the C27G2Z3/BK with its curved 27-inch Fast VA panel and a height-adjustable stand as well.”

The C27G4ZXE features a modern design with a grey and black colour scheme that seamlessly blends into any gaming setup. The monitor’s slim bezels and sharp lines of the chassis create a sleek and attractive appearance reminiscent of a stealth aircraft, while the simple, compact stand provides a stable base without detracting from the monitor’s overall aesthetic and offering ample space for esports enthusiasts to move keyboard and mouse around. With its 100×100 VESA mount compatibility, the C27G4ZXE also fits multi-monitor setups with monitor arms.
