Four AOC Gaming monitors have launched on Amazon in the UK today. Earlier, we covered three new affordable 180Hz displays, and now it’s time to talk about another impressive model – the AOC GAMING Q27G4ZRAD/01. This monitor is identical to the AOC GAMING Q27G4ZR, offering up to 260Hz at QHD resolution; the Q27G4ZRAD name simply refers to the Amazon-specific model.

Either way, it’s a new monitor up for grabs on Amazon, costing £229 with three years of warranty. Sticking in the realm of AOC gaming monitors, another option with similar specs (260Hz, QHD, fast IPS) is the AOC Q27G42ZE, currently available for under £150 – the drawbacks of this one are the lack of built-in speakers and ergonomic options such as height adjustment.

Press release in full

Amsterdam, 21 August 2026 – AGON by AOC, the world’s leading gaming monitor brand, expands its popular G4 gaming monitor series with the introduction of the AOC GAMING Q27G4ZRAD/01. Built for esports enthusiasts and mainstream gamers alike, this 27-inch (68.58 cm) flat monitor combines the vibrant colors of Fast IPS technology with remarkable speed, offering an exceptionally fluid and responsive gaming experience.

Fast IPS technology: Vibrant colours and sharp QHD resolution

The AOC GAMING Q27G4ZRAD/01 features a high-performance Fast IPS panel that provides wide 178°/178° viewing angles and rich, lively colour reproduction. With a Quad HD (QHD) resolution of 2560 x 1440 in a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, games look sharper and reveal finer details compared to standard Full HD displays.

Gamers can enjoy highly vivid environments thanks to a peak brightness of 400 cd/m² and VESA Certified DisplayHDR 400. This delivers more diverse contrast and a wider color spectrum, ensuring realistic portrayals of game and film worlds. Color precision is backed by excellent coverage across major color spaces:

• sRGB: 123.6% (CIE 1976)
• DCI-P3: 95.2% (CIE 1976)
• Adobe RGB: 91.4% (CIE 1976)

An anti-glare panel treatment keeps reflection distractions to a minimum under varying ambient lighting conditions.

Overclocked performance: 260 Hz Speed and 1 ms GtG

Designed to unleash the power of top-end GPUs, the Q27G4ZRAD/01 boasts a native 240 Hz refresh rate, overclockable to an incredible 260 Hz. Every movement is rendered with crystal clarity, eliminating stutter and delivering unprecedented smoothness during fast-paced action.

With a rapid pixel response time of up to 1 ms GtG (and 0.3 ms MPRT), motion blur and ghosting are virtually eliminated. This ensures sharper target tracking in high-speed first-person shooters, racing games, and competitive esports titles. For absolute synchronisation, the monitor features Adaptive-Sync and is NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, preventing screen tearing and stuttering.

Modern connectivity and built-in audio

The monitor integrates seamlessly into any multi-device gaming setup:

• DisplayPort 1.4 (1x): Unlocks the full 260 Hz refresh rate for PC players.
• HDMI 2.0 (2x): Features wide compatibility, enabling console players (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) to play in fluid 1440p resolution at 120 Hz.
• Built-in speakers: Includes integrated 2W x 2 stereo speakers for convenient audio without needing desktop external speakers.
• Gaming convenience: Fully compatible with AOC G-Menu software for quick, on-screen desktop adjustments and gaming presets.

Ergonomic design and eye comfort

To support healthy posture during long gaming sessions, the monitor features a robust, esports-inspired base with full ergonomic adjustment options:

• Height adjustment: up to 130 mm
• Tilt: -3° to 21°
• Swivel: -28° to +28°
• Pivot (portrait mode): -90° to +90°

For eye protection, built-in Flicker-Free technology and Low Blue Mode reduce eye strain during extended night sessions.

Pricing and warranty

The AOC GAMING Q27G4ZRAD/01 comes with AOC’s standard 3-Year Warranty, reflecting the company’s commitment to durability and quality, and will be available at a price of £229.
