I want to try VA panel, because of the known issues of the IPS one.
Thinking about getting the AOC AG275QXN/EU
From what I read they fixed the black smearing.
But there is some ghosting and color bleeding.
Also not sure if it has any artifacts like voltage inversion.
Anyone tried the AOC AG275QXN/EU? VA Panel (I did!)

AOC AG275QXN/EU experience
I just got the monitor. Those are my observations:
Positive stuff:
- There is no black smearing;
- There is some ghosting when using the Strong and Boost Overdrive options. Medium is great. [Off - Weak - Medium - Strong - Boost (FreeSync off)];
- Gray and black uniformity are great - no visible bandings or patches. No backlight bleeding or too much VA glow;
- There is no visible dirty screen effect;
- The matte coating is not as good as LG 27GN800-B - if you place it across a large window then the reflections can be distracting;
- There are some barely visible inversion artifacts (as chessboard textures) under 100Hz, more visible at 48Hz;
- *There is Clear Vision option (something like sharpening) when you download AOC's i-Menu software;
The negative:
- Display looks a bit washed out (looks like gamma issue) when selecting the sRGB mode (Color Temp.) Tried Nvidia Control Panel ODR to Full/Limited - no change);
- VA panel makes the colors and blacks look washed out when viewed by angle - noticeable when siting at normal distance;
- The menu is gamer oriented and when selecting game modes (for example FPS) - it locks options like "Shadow Control", "Saturation", "Brightness/Contrast", "Overdrive";
- No sharpening option* - there is sharpening in the FPS game mode, but no exclusive option when Game Mode is set to off;
- Shadow Control is a bit aggressive - 50 feels like too much gamma, but 40 makes the shades of black indistinguishable; [0 - 100];
- Color Temp. sRGB locks the brightness / contrast / gamma and options like Shadow Control / Game Color; Overall washed out look.
- It's has only FreeSync Premuim, not G-Sync Compatible certified, it's working with my GTX 1650 Super, but not as good as LG 27GN800-B;
- The OSD controls are not the most intuitive - the joystick button feels a bit cheap and not very responsive;
I made it somewhat good and accurate* looking:
- Color Temp.: User (50, 50, 50);
- Shadow Control: 50 (default);
- Game Color: 9;
- Game Mode: Off;
- Overdrive: Medium;
- Gamma: Gamma1;
- Brightness: 65;
- Contrast: 50;
- Adjusted the gamma from Nvidia Control Panel: + 0.95;
In short:
- Fast VA Panel with no black smearing/ghosting and great uniformity; Minimal VA glow;
- Typical viewing angles for a flat VA panel;
- It has only FreeSync Premium, not G-Sync Compatible certified;
- Colors could look better;
- OSD is a bit restricting;
It's my first experience to VA panel, still not sure if I want to keep it.
* Using as reference my old 60Hz (OC 75Hz) Philips IPS monitor.
