Cheap AND Beautiful 4K Monitor? AOC U2790PQU
It wasn’t all that long ago that I was enamoured with LG’s 27UD68P for being relatively cheap, but absolutely stunning, so when AOC said they’ve got one rather similar, but for a whopping £300 MSRP, I was very interested. This is the AOC U2790PQU.
Right out the box, you’ll notice it’s a nice design. It’s got slim bezels, a stand that has all the adjustability you’d expect, wide swivel from the base, a great amount of height adjust, good tilt and even full 90 degree rotation to put the monitor in portrait mode.
Inputs wise, you’ve got 2 HDMIs and 1 DisplayPort, along with a 2 port USB 3 hub, so enough to have a couple devices like a console, a workstation and a gaming PC all hooked up, but not excessive. You do also have built in speakers, which while not amazing, are passable enough if you just need to hear, say, when you get a new email…
Display wise, you get a stunning panel. It is beautiful to look at, to work on, watch content on, and yes, even game on. It actually comes with a calibration certificate in the box, showing a delta E of 0.51 from the sRGB spectrum, and almost perfect 100% sRGB uniformity too, which is great.
Now, I mentioned gaming there, and yes, you can game on it. It’s still a pretty nice experience, but of course it’s a 4K IPS panel, it’s not the most responsive thing in the world, so if you are exclusively looking for a gaming monitor, you should probably look elsewhere, but if you are a video editor, photo editor, 3d modeller or similar and like to game on the side, this certainly isn’t awful.
So, for £300, is it worth it? Hands down yes. It’s a great monitor, brilliant viewing angles, great colours, a nice subtle design, good stand, and yes, a great price. If you are a casual video or photo editor, this is an amazing choice that hopefully won’t break the bank. Would I put one on my desk? Yes, I would. This would work brilliantly for me, and it’s 27” size is pretty much perfect. Highly recommended.
