Description
Outside of the panel’s performance, the EW2880U continues to impress. It has a decent selection of ports: two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DP 1.4 port for video and a USB-C port capable of delivering 60W of power and carrying a video signal at the same time. Great for owners of modern MacBooks in particular. The stand, meanwhile, offers height adjustment plus a small amount of swivel and tilt – not spectacular but good enough for most people
At techradar pro, we're adamant that moving to a 4K monitor is one of the best upgrades that any business or professional can make to improve their workflow). monitors with VA LCD panels tend to have great contrast and good colours but much higher response times and poor viewing angles. They can also exhibit higher than average amounts of motion blur when gaming, due to slow pixel response times. The panel comes with Vesa's DisplayHDR 400 certification—the lower end of the spectrum with less of a wide colour gamut than others, and devoid of local dimming. Essentially this helps keep the price down, but means the AOC U28G2XU isn't the greatest for HDR. AOC's choice to opt for dynamic contrast does mean it'll try to adapt as it darkens to make up for the low contrast ratio IPS monitors like this tend toward, and does an alright job at it. This unassuming 27in panel is brimming with features that combine to create the most well-rounded 4K monitor we’ve ever tested. From a technical perspective, this is an IPS panel that refreshes at 75Hz. It performed well on test, producing 95% of the sRGB colour gamut with good accuracy; DCI-P3 reproduction was a little less than advertised but at 87% remains pretty good for a non-professional monitor.The best 4K monitor is a difficult thing to pin down. As 4K or Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) monitors become more commonplace in the home and the office, it becomes increasingly challenging to select the best 4K monitor for your needs. While it’s certainly a good thing to see UHD monitors in such high volumes (and at increasingly low prices), having a surplus of choice is never much fun for the consumer. Obviously, this monitor isn’t cheap, but it’s one of the most well-rounded high-end gaming panels we’ve ever encountered. This monitor delivers a punchy performance, offering excellent value-for-money, superb colour accuracy and great features like PiP and uniformity compensation. There are a few minor niggles but none of them really outweigh this monitor's big selling points. Our verdict is simple: if you have money to blow on a gaming monitor, and you’d prefer to play your next-gen console on a smaller (but no less impressive) screen, buy the Asus ROG Swift PG32UQ.
Elsewhere in our tests, the 279C9 performed very well indeed, producing 97% of the sRGB colour gamut with a fantastically low Delta E of 0.3, so you can rest assured that colours are accurately represented in the sRGB space. Brightness tops out at around 380cd/m², which is more than good enough for even well-lit environments, although it falls a little shy of the 400cd/m² minimum required for that DisplayHDR 400 certification. AOC also has a software version of the display settings, called i-Menu, which gives you all of the same menu options and equally scant explanation of the various settings. You’ve got plenty of room for cables here, which is great news: two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DP 1.4 port sit alongside a four-port USB-A 3.2 hub and a single upstream USB-C 3.0 port that provides up to 65W of power and can also carry a video signal (although in doing so, prevents use of the USB hub). However, if you need to execute colour-critical tasks, such as colour grading videos or editing images, you need to make sure that the monitor displays the colours correctly. Without a proper calibration, colours might be displayed in different hues on other displays. For instance, what you see as a true red in your digital creation might be displayed as more of a pink or orange on another person’s display – assuming their monitor shows accurate colours. In short, without calibrating, the colours displayed might not be true and therefore make colour-sensitive jobs unnecessarily complicated.To be totally transparent, we criticised the U27P2CA in our full-length review because we felt it was overshadowed by its siblings, the 1440p Q27P2CA and 4K U32P2CA. However, if you desperately want the increased screen real estate and all the trimmings for a very reasonable price, you won’t be disappointed by this monitor at all. Other options include multiple gama presets, a Clear Vision mode for upscaling content, a low blue-light mode that filters out harmful rays and Dynamic Color Boost mode, which lets you ramp up the saturation for blue skies, green grass and skin tones. Given the monitor's 10-bit color support, we had high expectations, and the range of color offered by the display was indeed quite impressive, with a 144.9 percent sRGB color gamut. By comparison, the LG 34UC89G (126 percent) and the Dell P3418HW (129 percent) are slightly less expansive, while the HDR-capable Samsung CHG70 outperformed them all (154 percent).
Built into the giant display chassis are two 5-watt speakers. They aren't very good. The volume output is extremely weak - I had to crank up the PC sound to about 75 percent just to make out dialogue in a movie trailer - and the sound that came out was tinny and echoey. Watching the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, the sweeping cinematic score was horribly weak. Big orchestral hits had no impact, and dialogue sounded lousy. Thanos' deep, gravelly voice sounded like someone speaking through a tin can, and Tony Stark sounded like his voice was echoing down a hallway. You can always play around with the OSD settings which provide an impressive level of granularity. More details are provided in the monitor's online manual. After calibration, you’ll be surprised about how AOC’s display expertise and high-quality panels ensure that most AOC monitors require only small amounts of calibration or no significant changes at all. Overdrive boost mode was the worst culprit, but with medium settings enabled I found it to be totally playable. Unfortunately, the on-screen display isn't particularly polished. The menu runs along the bottom of the screen, stretching across three-fourths of the enormous display. The basic options are easy to navigate, and give you the ability to adjust the luminance and color, and activate features like picture-in-picture mode.Just as the steps above, prepare your display for calibration by selecting the default mode, letting it warm up first and making sure the panel is free of smudges so the sensors can work accurately. Install and open the calibration software and follow on-screen instructions.
This is a bright, punchy monitor that has a fairly wide colour gamut and a uniform panel. It struggles a bit with colour accuracy, which is surprising for an AOC monitor, but unless you’re a professional content creator this won’t be too much of an issue.I found inverse ghosting occurred increasingly as I moved up through the higher overdrive settings. This monitor aced our in-house tests, producing a wide gamut of colours in an accurate manner. Brightness topped out at 650 nits while contrast came in at 1,497:1 in HDR mode with local dimming enabled. Those are great results for an IPS panel, and they bode well for the HDR performance and general eye-popping-ness (technical term) of the panel The BenQ EW2880U is a multipurpose 4K monitor with a comparatively low price tag. For the money, you’re getting a 28in IPS panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, a 5ms response time and AMD FreeSync support. The EW2280U performed well on test, producing 114% of the sRGB colour gamut with strong accuracy and achieving brightness and contrast results that lined up very neatly with BenQ’s claims (300cd/m² and 987:1 respectively). These final figures don’t exactly make for great HDR, but as the monitor has no official HDR certification this is only a small niggle
