The AOC U2790VQ is a 27-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) monitor. It is based on an IPS panel. It covers 108% of the sRGB color gamut and supports 10-bit color (8-bit + FRC) depth via dithering.
The 4K resolution makes images look more detailed. They have a good amount of depth in them. You will also have a lot of screen real estate. You can multitask effectively without always having to switch between tabs.
Its image accuracy is excellent. The images look vibrant with rich colors that pop out. You can also use it for casual photo editing.
This is not surprising as IPS panels are known for their superior color accuracy and image quality. Watching movies and playing games on it will be an immersive experience.
The combination of 4K resolution and 27-inch screen size results in a massive pixel density of 163 PPI. 90 – 100 PPI is considered optimal. With 163PPI, the images are a lot more detailed and the text appears sharp. It is also easy on the eyes as there won’t be any pixelated images or blurry text where you have to squint your eyes to see them clearly.
The AOC U2790VQ has a brightness rating of 350-nits and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. This monitor is fairly bright. You won’t have any problems using it even in bright rooms. In dim rooms, I suggest you tone it down to prevent any eye strain. The contrast levels are decent.
The panel uniformity of this monitor is good. The colors are consistent throughout the panel. There were no major ups and downs.
The viewing angles of this monitor are wide and relaxed. You get 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. There won’t be any major changes in colors, brightness, and contrast levels even when viewed from different angles.
The AOC U2790VQ we reviewed had no dead pixels on it. We also did not observe too much IPS glow on it.
It also has a matte anti-glare coating on it that will help you diffuse any reflections that form on it.
Overall, the AOC U2790VQ is great in terms of image quality. We have no major complaints about it.
