AOC 27" 27B1H VGA/HDMI Monitor, Black

Product Information

While the response time is slower than that of most IPS displays, which have 5ms (GtG), there’s really no prominent ghosting in fast-paced games. But then again, the monitor does have a refresh rate of only 60Hz.

While the AOC 27B1H does offer a nice image quality and an eye-catching design, there are simply better alternatives out there for that amount of money. Screen Size The colors are vibrant and consistent, and they won’t change in tone when you look at the screen from different angles, thanks to the wide 178-degree viewing angles. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²).The AOC 27B1H is a popular monitor due to its affordable price for an IPS panel display with an ultra-slim design. If you are interested in this monitor, there are a few things you should keep in mind though. Image Quality Its input lag amounts to 12ms at 60Hz, which is enough to eliminate any delay between your actions and the result on the screen. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video.

The ASUS VA24DQ offers AMD FreeSync up to 75Hz, a higher pixel density, a wider color gamut, and a DisplayPort input (so you can use FreeSync with compatible NVIDIA cards as well). In comparison, a 24″ 1080p display has a pixel density of 92 PPI, and a 22″ 1080p display has 102 PPI. So, the image will be a bit more pixelated on the AOC 27B1H. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases.Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. The AOC 27B1H display has a screen resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, which, when stretched out on its 27″ screen, results in a pixel density of 82 PPI – pixels per inch.

Other panel-related specifications include a 250-nit peak brightness and a static contrast ratio of 1,000:1, which is standard for a monitor at this price range.When it comes to the performance, the AOC 27B1H monitor doesn’t have any issues, but it’s missing certain essential gaming features such as AMD FreeSync and Motion Blur Reduction that other similarly priced displays do offer. Although that’s a bit lower sRGB color space coverage than the preferable 99%-100%, the difference isn’t vital unless you plan on doing color-critical work.

Unfortunately, the monitor does not support AMD FreeSync, which would provide a variable refresh rate for compatible GPUs. Design & Connectivity For general multimedia entertainment and video games, the low pixel density is bearable, especially when you apply some anti-aliasing in games. There are also a few pre-calibrated picture presets (Standard, Text, Internet, Game, Movie, Sports) as well as four low-blue light modes (Off, Weak, Medium, Strong). The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.

Dimensions

The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10.
