AOC is a recognizable name in the gaming monitor space, often delivering great value for money. The brand has two more options on the way from its AOC Gaming range. That means these don’t belong to the premium ‘AGON’ series – so expect excellent bang for your buck. We only have the GBP pricing right now, but both are safely sub-£400.
Introducing the AOC Gaming Q27G4SRU and AOC Gaming U32G4U, which are 27″ 1440p and 32″ 4K monitors, respectively. The latter features dual-mode technology, which allows you to drop the resolution down to 1080p while doubling your refresh rate (from 160Hz to 320Hz in this case). Many well-known brands have been pushing this technology; you can find recent examples from the likes of Philips, LG, and more.

Press release in full
AGON by AOC – the world’s leading gaming monitor brand – launches two distinct gaming monitors that cater to different player needs. The AOC GAMING Q27G4SRU brings a 320 Hz refresh rate performance to the popular QHD (2560×1440) resolution, delivering competitive gaming at an accessible price point. Meanwhile, the AOC GAMING U32G4U expands the successful Dual Frame technology to the 32-inch format (31.5″ / 80 cm), offering gamers the flexibility to switch between immersive UHD (3840×2160) at 160 Hz and competitive FHD (1920×1080) at 320 Hz on a larger display.
QHD competitive gaming made accessible
The Q27G4SRU delivers exactly what competitive gamers want: 320 Hz performance in the optimal QHD resolution without breaking the bank. This 27-inch (68.58 cm) monitor provides the sweet spot combination of visual clarity and speed, with 110.84 pixels per inch ensuring sharp details that help players read game environments and spot opponents effectively. The sharp yet easy-to-drive QHD resolution on the 27-inch size makes it future-proof for years to come, while the 320 Hz refresh rate will be in reach of today's GPUs and will feel a step-up over 240 Hz models.
Built with a Fast IPS panel, the Q27G4SRU achieves impressive response times of up to 1 ms GtG and 0.3 ms MPRT using Motion Blur Reduction (MBR & MBR Sync). The monitor delivers vibrant visuals with a DisplayHDR 400 certification, 450 cd/m² peak brightness, and true-to-life, punchy colours with a 136.9% sRGB gamut area and 93.7% DCI-P3. Dual HDMI 2.1 ports and a singular DisplayPort 1.4 provide future-proof connectivity for high-end graphics cards and current-gen consoles, while 2x 2W speakers offer convenience. Furthermore, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub with 4x USB ports (one port with fast-charging) enable easy connection of peripherals. Tearing and stuttering is also virtually non-existent, thanks to being an official NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible monitor and providing Adaptive-Sync support, too.
32-inch Dual Frame for ultimate versatility
The U32G4U brings AOC’s innovative Dual Frame technology, known and well-received from the 27-inch AOC GAMING U27G4R, to the larger 32-inch format, where this concept truly shines. In UHD mode at 160 Hz, the pin-sharp resolution with 139.87 ppi creates stunning visuals perfect for story-driven games, content creation and consumption, as well as various productivity tasks. The larger screen real estate makes UHD content more immersive and detailed work more comfortable.
When competitive gaming calls, users can switch to FHD at 320 Hz.The larger display offers an expansive field of view ideal for racing or flight simulators, action titles and is equally great for console gaming where sitting back and enjoying the bigger screen enhances the gaming experience. The Fast IPS panel maintains excellent 1 ms GtG response times and 0.5 ms MPRT performance across both resolution modes. The DisplayHDR 400 certification and larger 32-inch format make it equally suited for immersive gaming and professional content work. Just like its 27-inch sibling, the connectivity includes a USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub with 4x USB ports (one port with fast-charging), as well as 2x HDMI 2.1 and 1x DisplayPort 1.4 ports.
“These monitors represent two clear paths for different gaming needs,” says César Acosta, Gaming Product Manager at AGON by AOC. “The Q27G4SRU gives competitive players the QHD clarity they want with a 320 Hz speed at a great price point. The U32G4U takes our Dual Frame concept to 32 inches, where the technology really excels – offering both the immersive UHD experience for single-player games and the competitive FHD performance when you need maximum speed.”
Comprehensive gaming features
Both monitors include AOC’s complete gaming toolkit designed for competitive advantage. Shadow Control brightens dark areas for better enemy visibility, Game Color optimises saturation for clearer visuals, and Dial Point provides dynamic or static crosshair overlays. Low Input Lag mode ensures instant response to player inputs, while Adaptive-Sync technology eliminates screen tearing with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
Console compatibility is comprehensive, with the Q27G4SRU supporting 2560×1440 @ 120 Hz for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, while the U32G4U delivers full 3840×2160 @ 120 Hz performance. Thanks to HDMI 2.1 connectivity, both models support variable refresh rate gaming with current-gen consoles, too.
Convenient and sleek design
The refined AOC GAMING G4 series aesthetic continues with both models, including 3-sided frameless bezels, matte black finish, and subtle red accents. The ergonomic stands provide 130 mm height adjustment with complete tilt, swivel, and pivot functionality for optimal viewing angles during extended gaming sessions. Both monitors support VESA 100×100 mounting for flexible multi-monitor setups.
Clear choices for different needs
The Q27G4SRU represents the ideal competitive gaming monitor – delivering QHD clarity with 320 Hz speed at an accessible price point for players who know exactly what they want. The U32G4U caters to versatile users who want one monitor for multiple purposes, switching seamlessly between UHD detail and competitive FHD performance on a larger, more immersive display.
Pricing and availability
The AOC GAMING Q27G4SRU and U32G4U will be available from mid-October 2025 at an MSRP of £249.99 and £339.99, respectively.
