Conclusion
The AOC Q2778VQE is a fine all-round monitor for a variety of usage scenarios - gaming, media consumption, productivity work and, with calibration, even photo or video editing.
A recommended retail price of £299 makes the AOC Q2778VQE aggressively priced for a 27in QHD display. Cost alone makes this AOC panel worthy of further consideration by anyone looking to make the upgrade to QHD, but this monitor has plenty of other merits to lure speculative buyers.
AOC boasts a 'state-of-the-art' TN panel which, at first glance, seems like an oxymoronic statement to make. As a general rule of thumb AHVA, IPS and PLS panels all deliver better quality than TN. In the case of the Q2778VQE the panel quality is akin to IPS, with its vibrant colour reproduction and wide viewing angles, and the fairly average input latency pushes it even further into the IPS camp.
The AOC Q2778VQE is a fine all-round monitor for a variety of usage scenarios - gaming, media consumption, productivity work and, with calibration, even photo or video editing. To the picky buyer most boxes have been ticked with exception of the stand which is, at best, mediocre for the calibre of the panel.
The AOC Q2778VQE demonstrates that QHD can be a viable alternative to UHD. A vibrant high-quality panel blended with extensive connectivity and, more importantly, a competitive price makes AOC's latest offering a tempting buy for any desktop user looking to take the next step from 1080p.
