I got the 32-inch and I need to tell you that you should not buy the monitor arm.

After doing some research, I think the other have this issue as well, but I can only prove it for the 32-inch.
There is a metal bit on the back where the stand mount locks into the monitor that prevents the vesa mount from attaching.
The only alternative is to use a VESA mount adapter for this piece! This will cost you another ~US$20-30.
The mount is incompatible, do not buy it.
ReddedI grabbed nylon bushings and longer screws with the same thread and it works like a charm. only like 2.00 for everything at your local hardware store
Curious to see what people think about this one from MSI. There are cheaper Freesync monitors out there.
I just ordered this one yesterday (which shows up in 2 days) for $190:

...so I have no idea if it's really any good or not, but for something with G-Sync and Adaptivesync combined, I'm hoping it's all that I really need/want. I'm guessing the MSI probably looks better, but who knows.
Yes, that's correct. I would prefer flat, 27", IPS, Freesync (G-Sync too, if possible), VESA mount, frameless, low refresh rate, great color accuracy and bright. My current 27" does all of that, except the Freesync/G-Sync, and the color accuracy could be better. It states it's 250 cd/m2, but it's very bright, so I don't see that as a very accurate spec measure. One thing I've noticed about the AOC monitors in general is that they seem to come setup as very washed out, so you have to do quite a bit of tweaking to get them looking good. Once you do, they can look amazing. If I could get these features in an LG under $200, I would prefer that.
Which monitor choice for this drop would people recommend for general office usage and occasional movie watching. I want to hook this up to my macbook pro 2017. Thanks!
ijc498Macbook pro 2017. Just buy a decent 4k tv with 120hz and hook up your laptop. Samsung makes some good 32inchers. And dont post about macbooks anywhere there are gamers.
Damn, this is pretty much exactly what I was hoping to see, but the prices for 1440p(I can’t decide between 27/32) aren’t any lower than they are elsewhere. That’s very disappointing.
I agree, I guess I more assumed they could easily be TN with the claimed 1ms response time, and since they were not clearly specifying between VA, TN, IPS, or just generally LCD - LED edge lit in the specs. Still pretty poor clarification IMHO.
zaphrodboxYeah, I take most official specs with a grain of salt. If the panel isn't specified I look at the claimed response time and contrast to figure what it is (TN 1ms 1000:1, IPS >1ms 1000:1, VA >=1ms 2-3000:1). I prefer looking at professional reviews of monitors on sites like TFTCentral, PCMonitors, and Rtings.
These newer VA monitors are claiming 1ms MPRT which is different than the 1ms GtG that TN's have. The 1ms MPRT is only when using the backlight strobing feature of the monitor, but with two side effects. First Freesync will not work with the strobing and second the brightness will be reduced.
