I appreciate the slightly more grown-up look to this. All the Acer and ASUS gaming monitors look dressed up for 12-year-olds and I'm not going to pay nearly $1k for the privilege of putting those horribly gaudy things on my desk. So this is an improvement. I think I'd still rather have the Dell S2716DG, though. Or at least something that looks like it.

How come we haven't seen a review or mention of the viewsonic xg2703? I have that monitor and it is perfect. The price is right and the stand doesn't look gamey like the Acer and Asus.

I would also like to see a review of the Viewsonic XG2703. It uses the same panel as this AOC does, but has better on-screen menu.

I hope they do an Ultrawide curved version of this monitor.

Just curious... Why does the PG279Q contrast ratio look so different in this review compared to its own review?:

ANSI versus other method of contrast measurement?

I'd like to see a review of the Viewsonic as well.

What's the thing on the back that looks like an antenna sticking out? Black, about halfway up the right side (left side in the back view)?

i believe that's where you hang your headphones.
