THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

Max refresh

Maximum manufacturer-listed refresh rate, not measured motion clarity. The port-specific limits below matter; HDMI and DisplayPort can support different modes.

MSI G32CQ4 E2165 Hz

Manufacturer specification · Manual p. 25 lists 170 Hz maximum and 165 Hz default. Native QHD over HDMI is limited to 144 Hz; DP OverClocking must be enabled for 170 Hz.

AOC CQ27G4Z2240 Hz

Manufacturer specification · At the native 2560 × 1440 resolution over DisplayPort with AOC's OverClock setting off. The manual lists QHD 260 Hz only with OverClock on and advises 240 Hz if display errors occur while overclocking; the OC setting is not treated as the stock rate. HDMI is limited to QHD 144 Hz. Available modes depend on input, cable and source.

Explore the full specifications

Match the monitor to the connection. Refresh limits depend on the input, cable and source device. Confirm the exact regional ports, stand adjustment and mount. Manufacturer response-time methods such as MPRT and GtG are different; neither the image nor these figures establish an independent motion or colour-quality test.

What to check

  • The headline maximum spans different resolution modes: QHD@260Hz / HD@400Hz. The faster lower-resolution mode does not deliver the same pixel detail as the native panel mode.
  • Allow for the 239.4 mm listed depth with the supplied stand, plus cable clearance. Check desk depth before choosing this size.
