AOC 27G4X vs ViewSonic TD1655: Comparison

AOC 27G4X vs ViewSonic TD1655: the response time difference

AOC 27G4X also leads on refresh rate, 180 Hz on the AOC 27G4X versus 60 Hz on the ViewSonic TD1655. Add max refresh rate to that, 180 Hz on the AOC 27G4X versus 60 Hz on the ViewSonic TD1655, and the pattern holds.

Who each one is for

Buy the AOC 27G4X for extreme budget-conscious gamers and first-time QHD high-refresh upgraders, though it is the wrong buy for buyers wanting real HDR contrast and anyone wanting a fully adjustable stand. The ViewSonic TD1655 is the one to take for users wanting touch input at a larger 15.6-inch size and ViewSonic loyalists wanting a matching secondary display, though it is not built for buyers prioritizing minimum weight over screen size and photographers wanting rear tripod-dock compatibility. The same goes for anyone needing a stand that adjusts to more than two angles. Our rating of the AOC 27G4X (7.6/10): an aggressively priced high-refresh QHD monitor that delivers solid core gaming performance without extra frills. Our rating of the ViewSonic TD1655 (7.4/10): A well-rounded touchscreen portable monitor that beats most rivals on stand flexibility.

Where the two are identical
