AOC G-Line C27G2ZU 240Hz Gaming Monitor Review | eTeknix

Tired of only having 60Hz from your display, heck, even you fancy folk with your 144hz must be thinking... I wish I had more. If you have a need, a need for speed, then the G-Line is where you'll get your kicks. The latest AOC gaming monitor delivers a whopping 240Hz refresh rate, with an incredible 0.5ms MPRT, making it an absolute monster of a gaming monitor. Sure, Skyrim will look bloody fantastic on it, but if you REALLY take your competitive gaming seriously, then 240Hz can be a real game-changer. AOC G-Line C27G2ZU 240Hz Gaming Monitor A 240Hz panel
