The AOC C27G2ZU must be exciting. Just look at the box – a whole squadron of planes is flying right out of it!
Inside there are 1.8m HDMI and DisplayPort cables, the external power brick and a power lead, which in this case had a European plug on the end because our sample was shipped over from Germany.
AOC's design shows some hints of flair, with the red flashes on the back and around the base of the stand. But it's otherwise black and quite sober in appearance.
You can raise and lower the screen by 130mm, swivel 32 degrees left and right, and tilt up to 5 degrees forward or 23 degrees backward.
The two HDMI 2.0 ports and DisplayPort 1.2 are pointing directly downwards, with the minijack for analog output (primarily headphones) at the other end of the same section. The USB 3.2 Gen1 hub is nearby on the same side of the stand, but on an angled section. The upstream and four downstream are in a row, with one of the USB ports (yellow) offering fast charge. The input for the power brick are on the other side of the stand.
One area where AOC has cut costs on this monitor is the menu controls, which are standard buttons on the underside of the bezel near the USB hub, rather than anything more exciting like a joystick. There are five buttons to operate settings.
