    I wouldn't give £200 for a VA panel, nevermind £2000.

    You can get the BFG screens for that much. That spec is a joke.

    Then you have clearly never tried one of these panels

    This monitor is essentially the same as the Acer & Asus models - its the same panel, same g-sync module and mostly the same inputs - they differ in stand, RGB placement and accessories. The Asus for example includes a high end DAC, and this AOC has headphone holders. Of course there is always a panel lottery so you see some slight variations in the Hexus testing here - if you look at other reviews some have Acer panels with slightly better performance, some the asus, some this one..depends which one you get sent

    They are all stunning monitors and are truly the best you can buy at the moment for PC gaming. The combination of high refresh rates, very good contrast levels, colour reproduction, viewing angles & "real" HDR is awesome. There are not other panelsl available today that can do this - all of the IPS panels (which are about 1/2 the price) make a big compromise somewhere - usually missing HDR/local dimming (most are only HDR400, which isnt HDR) and G-sync ultimate. BFG screens are a different market and style - you have compromises there too and ofc most people cant (and dont want to!) fit a 50"+ screen on their desk

    You really would not believe that these are VA panels. I am yet to see any ghosting, blurring etc on my PG35VQ, and I've no regrets in buying it. However if buying again, I would get the AOC just to save the £500.

    Elephant in the room is the 48inch LG OLED TV. On sale in a bit over a month, £1500 at launch (this will be under £1000 very quickly). Limited to 120HZ@4K, but it's going to clean up an awful lot of the market for these types of screens. There can't be that many people wanting to spend over £1000 on a screen and I suspect OLED will tip the balance.

    OLED is no good for desktop use though :/ I was really tempted to get 1 at one point.

    I reckon my next screen will be a Samsung QLED. Currently using a 43" Sony HDR TV as my monitor, won't ever go back to a normal screen now

    Except its 48", which is too big.

    my monitor is 35" UW (Same panel as this one) and thats just on the edge of being too big...no way i'd want my OLED on my desk, that is staying on the wall in the lounge where it belongs

    Now, when they can get OLED produced in sensible quantities at the 30-35" range, that will be a gamechanger....sadly we're not there yet.
