AOC U3277PWQU 31.5in 4K UHD 3840x2160 Monitor, 10-bit VA Panel, HDMI/DisplayPort/DVI-D/VGA, HA Stand, VESA, Speakers (Renewed)

This monitor was a great upgrade for my aging eyes. I use it for web development, content creation and general internet browsing and find the picture quality, color saturation and brightness totally fine. I consider it a very good deal overall.I wanted something bigger than my previous 24" monitor at 1920x1024 resolution. I found myself squinting at it or leaning in more and more. But I was concerned that the next step up in resolution to 2560x1440 would result in even smaller text and maybe a loss of sharpness too, so I skipped 28" and went for this 32" model. I find this monitor is enough bigger that the apparent text size is about the same, but I've got more screen area to play with. I've moved the monitor back a bit on the desk, and that reduces the squinting too.I don't play games or watch movies on this monitor, so I can't speak to response time or motion blur. I've only had it a week, but no problems and no dead pixels so far.All in all, a good buy.

So I was a bit concerned about getting a refurb and initially I thought something might be wrong with this monitor as it seemed very washed out. After a bit of research I found a not about using an HDMI cable for connecting the monitor and that it may default to RGB limited. Turns out it did as soon as I updated through the graphics card control panel to RGB full the color looked so much better. I love the extra space on my computer so I can have more things happening without resorting to dual monitors. I have not noticed any dead pixels. the screen seems very responsive although I do not play any FPS games to truly push it. The USB hub is nice. the speakers are not great but I'm not sure why you would use them I hooked them up by accident since I used HDMI and immediately switched back to my surround sound speakers. I'm just so blown away by this monitor at this price point. My last monitor a Dell U3014 (max res 2560 x 1600) cost me over $1000. So tempted to buy another just not sure why I need it.

First thing, I'm a software engineer so I'm using it for writing code, teleconferencing, and extensive web browsing. I haven't tried hooking up to the gaming PC yet.I was in the market for 2 new external monitors. My setup prior to these was 2 mismatched resolution monitors (1 1080p, 1 1680x1050) plus my 1080 Dell XPS 2-in-1 laptop screen. That was horrible for many reasons. I did a lot of research on ultra-wide monitors but started to realize 2 of those would require a lot of left-to-right head swiveling. 1440p monitors weren't much cheaper than some of the 4k options given that 90%+ are made for gaming. While I was aware of AOC and had heard good things, I still wasn't sure about the brand. However, at $300 or less for a 32" 4k monitor, I took the chance. I'm so glad I did! These have been great! I can stack 2 instances of Visual Studio on one while having 4 apps, mostly Chrome in different people configs (for different projects), on the other. I can keep Outlook, Teams, and OneNote on the smaller laptop screen.32" is the right size for 4k for me. I have Windows set at 125% magnification which is a good balance between being able to read everything and not losing out on the extra real estate. I sit about 2-3 feet away from them.The only thing that I had an issue with was finding the settings for volume control. I thought it would be through the settings menu but it was just the buttons themselves.

I got both of mine factory refurbished/certified. I've had them about 6 weeks and thus far am completely satisfied. They are in league with monitors costing hundreds more. They aren't going to be 'pro' level at giving precisely uniform brightness at all points of the screen or show complete accuracy like $1K-plus monitors, but at substantially less than $500 each, I don't think anything else can touch them. I shopped around in brick and mortar a few times first, I saw many with higher price tags that don't look nearly as good. The out of box setting is gorgeous with lush but slightly oversaturated colors. I opted to switch to RGB mode and have everything be more accurate. I used visual calibration and these come really close to the ideal without much tweaking. I'm very happy so far, and assuming they don't die will continue to be so.

I received this monitor in good shape, except for a couple scratches on the base. I assembled it easily, and immediately could see that the stand is NOT HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE. This needs to be clear in the description and the Q&A, the latter has an answer that indicates it is height adjustable. I didn't even plug it in, and returned it. You may remove this review if desired, just letting people know.

UPDATE: It has been over 8 months and I still like this monitor and would highly recommend it.Original: This is from the old ADMIRAL TV line which I did not know was still around, apparently a Taiwan company bought them out??? Anyway I really am happy with this monitor, although I cannot verify the 4k quality yet as I have not upgraded my PC to the higher resolution video card, but it is excellent for the HD so far as I have had it for several months now. I believe it is worth the price.
