The Best Gaming Monitor For Under $350? (AOC Q2781PQ)

2017-05-04
it's that time again time for some killer freakin Tech today we're looking at a pretty bad ass monitor this is the P 2781 P Q long name right took me a few seconds to memorize this monitor now let's just face it your PC itself very important part of your gaming experience but let's just face it your monitor you're staring at that as a Spanish would say that is muy importante because you're staring at your monitor the whole time that you're playing your game so it's pretty much in my opinion just as important as your tower now the monitor we're going to check out today is pretty unique and the fact that playing games and stuff is pretty much like playing games on a monitor that has 144 hertz refresh rate it's that same complete flicker-free experience you guys have heard me talk about it many of my videos like staring at a normally at a 60 Hertz screen I get a major headache when playing games and I usually always have to play at a minimum of 144 Hertz if there was more I'd be looking at it because my head in my eyes is for my age and stuff my diabetes it kicks my butt look in those monitors I know there's a lot of other people out there that are the exact same way this monitor Hauer features something different it features a stuff called flicker free technology now most monitors use pulse width modulation technology and even though when you're looking at the screen you can't see the screen tearing this type of technology still causes lots of stress on the human eyes and the brain and everything because it's flickering at a whole time even though you can't see it with your human eyes now the monitor we look at today uses direct current and what that does it allows the technology to be completely flicker free so even though it's only a 60 Hertz monitor I can play my games this monitor for hours at a time without getting a massive frickin headache but beyond that let's jump on and let's check out the specs and let's see why this monitor is something very nice unique and you guys will see it actually is really elegant because it doesn't have really virtually any bezel whatsoever only 22 millimeters of material covering like the entire thing is what they're saying so it's really crazy so let's just take this out now when you first receive the AOC q2 780 1pq you'll notice that there are just very few things in the box you get the or itself the DisplayPort cable the HDMI cable the power cable and the users guide so on the front side you guys can see obviously a 27-inch monitor it's an IPS panel which means it from any angle that you're looking at it's going to look the same so if you're a person that's doing a lot of business stuff as well as gaming you can stand off to the side talk to your partner about all those spreadsheets and all that stuff and everybody will be able to see it so not only this monitor good for gaming it's also really good for the business person as well now the resolution on the 2781 PQ is 2560 by 1440 and this is actually becoming the new standard in the past 1440 was kind of like the mid-ground in the stepping stone to 4k but now 2560 by 1440 has become the sweet spot 1080 and kind of in the past 1440 s worth sap for the moment baby and that's what this monitor features with a 16 to 9 aspect ratio 350 for CD for the brightness 50 million to one for the contrast ratio so you know this thing is going to be pretty trippy now as far as the color goes it features a true 8-bit color correction so the colors are going to be as vibrant as close as you can get to looking like the real thing the color depth is at sixteen point seven million colors and pixel pitch is something that you don't really hear people talk about much anymore it's pretty much measuring the pixel density you know horizontal versus vertical and this monitor features a pixel pitch of 0.23 which means everything's going to be very very tightly together in the old days back when you had CRT monitors if you were able to get your hands on a point like 17 monitor you're like oh my god this is like the best thing next to heaven so from monitor with the newer technology this pixel pitch is actually very very well now one caveat in my opinion you guys might disagree because maybe it means nothing to you but to me I like a monitors you can pretty much adjust to anything you want portrait mode you can move it up and down back and forth the more of the Merrie that's the way I feel but unfortunately on this particular model that's kind of limited kind of stand does look badass and all together things very artistic but if you really want to monitor gonna be able to move around do a whole bunch of stunts you're really limited with this one now the bezel list feature that that's really touted on this monitor I gotta say is kind of a mixed thing because even though there actually is a no bezel there's still a space between the actual you're seeing on the screen and the edge of the monitor so at first I was like oh man this thing's so bitchin man I'm gonna go put three of these things together and there's not going to be anything but actually even if you put three of them together they're still going to be that small space now to me if this thing was going to be the most absolute badass motor in the world it would have actually had no bezel whatsoever kind of like the new Samsung phone you know just have a monitor it's completely a monitor with no bezel come on folks I know you guys can do it because technology keeps advancing and so to me that's going to be the true completely bezels monomer that monitor excuse me when you can set three these bad boys right next to each other and see no separation between all three I will be happier than a camper with a campfire and a marshmallow as far as power requirements go on stand by this monitor consumes a half a watt when it's fully up and going it consumes 47 watts but one really nice thing about the monitor is there's absolutely no heat on a lot of monitors I've got in the past I go if I touch the thing it's like whoa this one's actually very very cool now the on-screen displays they're pretty easy to access they're located on the left hand side right underneath the monitor there's a few different buttons in there you can go in and choose what type of display port you're using if you're using HDMI all that good stuff and there's those other buttons where you can do just a whole cavy two different things they have so many different features how many of them you're actually going to use I don't know but they're still cool to have now the inputs for this monitor they're pretty minimalistic at least I think that most folks are going to think this you have a VGA connection which can do DVI DVID all that kind of stuff you get a single DisplayPort and two HDMI connections now the cool thing about the DisplayPort over HDMI is that you've been hooked up multiple monitors all along the chain with HDMI it's really really great but if you're going to be doing something that I require it like we talked about a min ago those three monitors having a DisplayPort it's really good and although this AOC monitor doesn't actually have speakers built into the monitor itself it does have an audio out jack now the biggest question probably on everybody's minds okay or if the specs are cool and everything but how does the monitor look well the screen is completely crisp and clean it looks very very nice even though it's not a curved modern still gives you lots of area to visualize and so that 178 viewing angle that you can see from anywhere that's really cool so if you're playing your games and stuff your friends could check it out like I said before business folks can check it all out and just looking at in-game when you're checking out all the visuals inside of the game you guys can seed it this thing looks totally killer I mean between monitors it's really hard I think and especially in the high quality range of seeing a dynamic difference you know between the differences in the colors and stuff but you guys can see the in-game this monitor just looks totally badass what more can I say there's nothing that I can really say that's negative about this monitor other than you know the price is about three hundred and fifty dollars but the biggest thing to me is the ability to play games for hours on end on a sixty Hertz monitor that doesn't make my brain fizzle make me go ahh I just honestly I hate that so to me that's the absolute biggest aspect about this monitor to me it's a very beautiful 27-inch monitor the IPS screen is totally kick-ass it's got just enough controls that you need the on-screen display is nice I mean it just looks nice it's elegant you know I've talked about the few things that work a bit you can't move it around or do anything like that so that kind of sucks you know from my personal thing but other people are going to be like who gives a crap that means absolutely nothing non move on alright so we'll move on but at the end of the day you guys know that monitors out there that feature g-sync and freesync and honestly g-sync is way overpriced and video wake the up on that one you guys just give that technology for free AMD does who cares just give up that dollar and make monitors equal across the board now those monitors feature pretty much kind of the same thing as a flicker free monitor it's a little bit faster refresh rate and everything but the blinking is actually the thing and you know is what gives you the headache so if the monitor has you know absolutely no flicker whatsoever it's pretty much in my eyes as a user as being the equivalent of that and let's just face it man g-sync monitors are like almost six hundred bucks some of them we've seen with the predator series and come on that was 1,300 bucks bro you know and freesync monitors they are a little bit cheaper they're like in 500 the low range for the AMD fans that's really cool but if you don't care about you know manufactured card or anything like that you just want to monitor it you can play on that give you a headache that's great to view you guys might want to give this a chance and check it out go down to Best Buy or something like that we'll have a link down below to Amazon if you want to get more information or bio in for yourselves but if you want to see it in person find a place that has it and go check it out I think you'll be pretty impressed here at Tech in tomorrow I give it an editor's choice I think it's a pretty badass monitor at the end of the day
