AOC GAMING Q27G4ZD: 3rd-gen QD-OLED at a new sweet spot
280 Hz and 1000 nits peak brightness expand the QD-OLED line-up
AGON by AOC – the world’s leading gaming monitor [1] brand – launches AOC GAMING Q27G4ZD, a 27-inch (68.6 cm) QHD gaming monitor that brings 3rd-generation QD-OLED technology to a compelling new price point. With a 280 Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms GtG response time, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification with up to 1000 nits peak brightness (3% APL), the Q27G4ZD slots between the existing AOC GAMING Q27G4ZDR and Q27G4SDR models as a balanced option for gamers who want next-gen performance without the flagship price tag.
AOC GAMING’s accessible OLED line-up grows further
QD-OLED technology first arrived in the AGON by AOC portfolio through the AGON PRO line-up with models reaching up to 500 Hz, serving esports players, enthusiasts and competitive gamers who demand the absolute best. The AOC GAMING line-up now offers QD-OLED for players who want the core benefits of OLED technology, including almost instant response times, perfect blacks, and vibrant colours thanks to Quantum Dot technology, in a more straightforward package.
The Q27G4ZD joins the recently launched Q27G4ZDR (240 Hz, QD-OLED Edge) and Q27G4SDR (360 Hz, 3rd-gen QD-OLED), giving gamers three distinct options. For those who want the 3rd-generation panel improvements but don’t need the full 360 Hz speed, the Q27G4ZD delivers the bliss point: 1000 nits peak brightness in 3% area of the screen (up from 400 nits on 2nd-gen), DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, and a 280 Hz refresh rate that handles competitive play with ease.
Built for speed and clarity
The 0.03 ms GtG response time virtually eliminates ghosting and motion blur, while the infinite contrast ratio keeps dark scenes truly dark with no backlight glow. Adaptive-Sync technology with NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certification ensures tear-free gameplay across variable framerates. The QHD resolution (2560×1440) provides sharp detail while keeping GPU requirements reasonable for high-framerate gaming, and dual HDMI 2.1 ports plus one DisplayPort 1.4 support the latest graphics cards and current-generation consoles.
The fully adjustable ergonomic stand offers height, tilt, swivel, and pivot functionality, while a USB hub with four USB-A ports keeps peripherals within reach. VESA 100×100 compatibility provides additional mounting flexibility.
Like all OLED monitors in the AGON by AOC range, the Q27G4ZD includes comprehensive OLED Care features and is backed by a 3-year warranty covering burn-in when used according to guidelines.
“With the Q27G4ZD, we’re making 3rd-generation QD-OLED more accessible without compromising on what matters most. The QHD 280 Hz combination is the sweet spot for today’s gamers — fast, future-proof, and visually exceptional. It’s a compelling QD-OLED alternative backed by a 3-year warranty that even includes pixel burn-in coverage, giving players performance and peace of mind.” says César Acosta, Gaming Product Manager at AGON by AOC.

The AOC GAMING Q27G4ZD will be available from February 2026 at an MSRP of €519.
