Our Verdict
AOC Q27G3XMN
AOC 24G15N
The AOC Q27G3XMN and the AOC 24G15N are both lower-cost gaming monitors, though the 24G15N is much less expensive. However, the Q27G3XMN is an enormous step up and allows you to experience all the features of a modern gaming monitor. It displays vivid colors in HDR, has a sharper display, highlights that are bright enough to pop, and crisp motion handling. If you care about gaming and can afford it, it's a much better option.
