On paper great with decent price but mixed review around google. Anyone own it and care to comment?

I would pay extra to have the monitor checked first for the Blb and dead pixels if this service existed, but I shouldn't have to.

Buying an 144hz ips gsync is a lottery doesn't matter who you choose at the moment. To many people say they can live with it and keep them so the manufacturer ain't gonna sort out qc.

I went with the xb271hu which I have sent back. I would have ordered the aoc as I like the look of it and aoc seem to have good warrenty and customer service but it's too late , the company are sending me out a new one. If this new one is shyt I'm going with aoc. If its gonna have blb it may aswell be cheap blb.

Thanks - is it straightforward to return with OC in this case? I normally use Amazon because it is easy with them...

Ok pulled the trigger from the other site, fingers crossed on getting a decent enough panel.

received today only few hours in but here is my quick verdict

> Good:

- 165Hz with G-Sync is amazing, versus my dell 25inch IPS, playing F1 2016, it is like the game has had a massive upgrade. So silky smooth.

- Great colours, you can tell difference from TN for sure.

- Great for normal operating - word, excel.

> Bad:

- Bit of backlight bleed but not as bad as I thought it might be. Not noticeable in normal usage.

- Controls are poor.

- Not as slick as some other manufactures to setup.

Verdict - 80%
