I vote for the BenQ, only because I know nothing about AOC. They both look to be great monitors

That one is at the top of my very small list. What about the lack of g-sync?

Thanks OldMike65

I have a (Soon) GTX 1080Ti so freesync is of no use to me. 28" is a little to large for where it will be sitting and 27" just fits in tha place by only a couple of mm.

Yup I understand .....plus the price is high too.

I have an AOC monitor. It is an "imported model" I have had it for a year or so and it has been a very good monitor. I have no complaints. FWIW
