AOC G2460PQU vs ASUS PB277Q

The G2460PQU features an anti-glare panel, which significantly reduces or eliminates reflections, loss of clarity due to light, fingerprints and smudges.

With a response time of just 1ms, the AOC G2460VWQ6 is one of the fastest monitors on the market. Ideal for fast-paced gaming situations such as first person shooters.

This AOC display features Anti-Blue Light technology, which reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen if needed and requested. Blue light has been proven to decrease sleep quality; this feature is especially helpful when used during the night.

The G2460PQU features two USB 2.0 ports on the side of the monitor, of which one is a high-powered port for fast charging of mobile devices. There are also two ports on the back of the display.

You can easily adjust the height of the monitor, and you can also rotate it and switch between landscape and portrait mode.

Although the maximum brightness for the G2460PQU is specified at 350 cd (candela)/m², the display actually performs even better. With a testing result of 423 cd/m², the maximum brightness is extremely high. For comparison: the average similar TN-display only reaches 300 cd/m².

The build quality of the G2460PQU is very high and the overall feel of the display is quite robust. The display also isn't prone to accidental slipping due to the sturdy stand.

This display features a very fast refresh rate of 144Hz, or 144 times per second. This allows for extremely fluent gameplay and is a major improvement over regular 60Hz displays.

The monitor works well in bright rooms with lots of windows as its peak brightness of 350 nits enables it to fight glare.

While the monitor's speakers will not satisfy a serious audiophile, they are fine for occasional situations where you just can't be bothered to put on your headphones.

Out of the box, the ASUS PB277Q shows exceptional color accuracy with an average color error dE of only 1.58.

According to the test results from various sources, the ASUS PB277Q doesn’t suffer from any image retention related problems.

The ASUS PB277Q is an excellent tool for multitasking as its 27-inch 2560x1440 panel offers a generous amount of on-screen real-estate. With this monitor, you can comfortably edit two Word documents side by side.

Because of its small input lag and excellent motion handling capabilities, the ASUS PB277Q performs much better than the majority of general purpose monitors in its price range.

Gaming feels responsive because the monitor's input lag is only 7.1 ms, which is an amazingly good value. Only a handful of monitors in this range can outperform the ASUS PB277Q in this regard.

The motion looks smooth and blur-free because of the monitor's full pixel response time of 1 ms, which ensures that each panel's pixel needs only 1 ms to change its color. Such quick pixel transition eliminates traces of fast-moving objects.

Additionally, the dynamic content looks smooth and fluid because of the monitor's native refresh rate of 75 Hz, which is 40% higher than what the majority of competitors in this price range offer.

There are many ways you can adjust this monitor to suit your working environment because the ASUS PB277Q supports a wide range of height, tilt angle, and pivot angle adjustments.

Furthermore, you can use this monitor in either landscape or portrait orientation.

Thanks to its contrast ratio, peak brightness, color accuracy, and gamma, the ASUS PB277Q performs on par with the best monitors in its price range.

The monitor displays a vivid, yet somewhat flat image. The colors are bright and vibrant, with saturated mid-tones. However, the blacks aren’t particularly deep. Colors pop and look crisp because of the monitor's peak brightness of 350 nits. Mid-tones look deep and saturated because of the monitor's gamma response of 2.15. Dark scenes, though, look a bit flat as the monitor's native contrast ratio of 780:1 is too low to produce rich and realistic-looking blacks.

Additionally, colors look life-like because of the monitor's average color error dE of 1.58, which is low enough to make the color inaccuracies invisible to the human eye.

The ASUS PB277Q offers large workspace, high responsiveness, and a wide range of ergonomic adjustments, which combined with the monitor's good overall picture quality, makes it one of the most versatile monitors in its price range.

Additionally, the ASUS PB277Q is an excellent option for occasional, non-competitive gaming.
