AOC Q27G42ZE (240hz 1440p) Review

Text Review

Making this post just so other people can know how bad of a monitor this is. When buying this monitor the chances that you have issues with it is insanely high. Whether it is the monitor having an incredibly annoying buzz, dead pixels, or in my case, flickering. Not sure the exact term for this but the monitor I received from AOC turns off every couple of minutes for around ~3 seconds. Doesn't sound too bad, but when you are peaking someone on CS or on a 300 combo in Taiko, it is insanely annoying. The monitor has been doing this since I received this monitor 4 months ago and I've tried everything. I've tried getting used to it, I've tried different cables, I've tried changing all of the settings, hell I've even tried using it in 60hz, 144hz, 165hz, and 200hz. Nothing I do will stop this flickering. Also, when I tried contacting support today I had to call 8 TIMES. 7 of those times they hung up on me. On the 8th attempt someone finally decided to talk to me. All they did was send me an automated email trying to send me a replacement. I don't want a replacement, I want a solution. I am going to try to sell this monitor soon as this is unbearable. One of the worst monitors I've ever had the displeasure of owning and one of the worst customer support services I've ever had the displeasure of attempting to contact for help. If anyone else can help me with this issue I would be so so very grateful, and if this happens to be my fault I will delete this post and take my words back on the monitor part. The customer service will keep my review as what they did was unacceptable.
