FAQs

What is the difference between 4ms (GTG) and 0.5ms (MPRT) response time?

The 4ms (GTG) response time measures how quickly a pixel can change from one shade of gray to another. The 0.5ms (MPRT) response time measures how quickly a pixel can change from one color to another, specifically focusing on reducing motion blur by utilizing backlight strobing. For gaming, MPRT often provides a more noticeable improvement in motion clarity.

Can I use this monitor with both a PC and a gaming console?

Yes, the AOC Q27B36X supports HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4, making it compatible with most modern PCs and gaming consoles that output QHD resolution.

How do I enable Adaptive Sync (FreeSync/G-Sync Compatible)?

Adaptive Sync is typically enabled through the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. You will also need to ensure that your graphics card drivers are up to date and that the corresponding feature (e.g., AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-Sync Compatibility) is enabled in your graphics card's control panel.

What are the benefits of the QHD resolution?

QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution offers a significant step up in detail and clarity compared to Full HD (1920 x 1080). It provides more screen real estate for multitasking and a sharper, more immersive visual experience for gaming and media.

Does the monitor have built-in speakers?

No, the AOC Q27B36X does not feature built-in speakers. You will need to use external speakers or headphones for audio output.

What is the warranty period for this monitor?

The AOC Q27B36X monitor comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Can I adjust the monitor's height?

No, the stand for this monitor only supports tilt adjustment. For height adjustment or other ergonomic positioning, you would need to use a compatible VESA mount.

Troubleshooting

Monitor does not power on.

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.

No image displayed / "No Signal" message.

Verify that the video cable (HDMI or DisplayPort) is securely connected to both the monitor and the source device. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor via the OSD menu. Restart your computer or gaming console.

Screen flickering or motion blur.

Check if Adaptive Sync is enabled and compatible with your graphics card settings. Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. For blur reduction, verify the response time setting in the OSD menu is appropriate (e.g., set to fast/fastest, but be aware of potential overshoot with extreme settings). Ensure the refresh rate is correctly set to 144Hz in your operating system's display settings.

Colors appear inaccurate or washed out.

Adjust color settings (brightness, contrast, color temperature) in the monitor's OSD menu. Ensure HDR10 is enabled and configured correctly in both your operating system and application settings if applicable. Calibrate the display using color calibration tools if precise accuracy is required.

Monitor not detected by computer.

Try a different video cable or port. Reinstall graphics drivers. Ensure the monitor is powered on and the correct input is selected. Connect the monitor to a different computer to test functionality.
