Someone posted this on QT3 weeks ago, but there weren't any reviews. TFT Central and Rtings both gave it stellar reviews and I got it on Sunday. It took me some messing around with settings, but I got it dialed in for Cyberpunk and it looks ridiculous. Not seeing any issues with ghosting, blooming or smearing. The menu controls suck and it's very bare bones, but if you want a full HDR monitor and don't want to spend 600+ it's a no brainer. I just wish it was in 32 inch.

My main gaming monitor is also an AOC 27" HDR monitor. It cost about $1600 (maybe $2k, I can't remember) back in 2018/19). It has been a workhorse, and despite an issue with the firmware that I never fixed permanently (it shows up randomly and hasn't in months, it's weird), it is still going strong. Do I need another one? No. Am I thinking about getting one anyway? Perhaps.

After a week of use I'm having a hard time finding any issues. It really just does what it says on the tin. Colors look good, motion processing seems fine and it gets insanely bright. Cyberpunk and BG3 looks amazing on it.
