AOC 32 Inch Q3279VWF QUAD HD Multimedia monitor VGA/DVI/HDMI/Display Port Monitor 75Hz, 5Ms

The media could not be loaded. If I can describe this monitor is one sentence, I would say "this monitor gives more than what you paid for." For £200, the AOC Q3279VWF wasn't designed to blow you away but it is very impressive what AOC could give you for just £200. I was seriously concerned before receiving it and wondered if I should have spent a little more and get "better" quality. To my surprise, I highly doubt I could. This monitor is very clear, sharp and has good colours. Viewing angles are incredible. Not the best but certainly won't bug you. In my video posted, you can see when I move from left to right, the quality decreases slightly. The colours just fade a little, with a big screen, this is vital as you are likely to drift slightly to the sides every so often. Some monitors are un-viewable when viewing at a slight angle. Games run very smoothly. I ran GTA 5 on ultra setting, I got a solid frame rate. For serious gamers, go for something better, but for casual or people on a low budget, this is a no brainer. It's perfect.A few complaint. The stand, pretty boring and feels cheap. The whole monitors feels on the cheap side. But that's reflected on the price you pay. The bezel are a little thick and ugly. I dislike the shiny finish. These are just me being picky and wouldn't affect the joy of this screen. But for the big issue, the colours! Out of the box, the colours felt un-natural and annoying. I felt I made a mistake. You have this blue tint to the screen. I suggest you spend a good 10-20 minutes playing with the setting. Run a 1440 resolution video and tweak the setting until it suits your likening. The menu can be a little fiddly to use. But it's a small learning curve.In conclusion, this is an incredible monitor. At the price point, it's a real gem of a monitor. If your on a budget or you just want a QHD big screen, get this.

Excellent value, why not five stars? unfortunately both units I received had dead pixels, the first, two dead centre but the second (which I’m keeping) only had one (dead green sub pixel) in a less obvious place which I don’t notice unless I go looking for it.Uniformity is excellent - greys are good, as are whites with no nasty vertical banding and blacks is black with minimal to no clouding. I have used other recent 32” Monitors the HP Omen and the Benq BL3200PT. While both are excellent monitors, sadly they both suffered for severe vertical banding, more so the Omen. This AOC on the other hand is near enough perfect, astonishing considering it costs upto £170 less than the Omen, Benq BL3200P and AOC Q3277PQU – It also comes with a three year warranty, whereas you only get one with HP and two years with the BenQ.You will notice ghosting on this, especially if you’re coming off a super fast TN panel but as this price it’s worth the compromise if you want WQHD at 32 inches on a budget.Niggles:It wobbles slightly, the stand can also be a bit of a pain to mount.The supplied power cable was a poor fit meaning every time I moved or tilted the screen the monitor would cut out and reboot – easily sorted though with a spare I had lying around, also note that this monitor is powered directly by a standard IEC Kettle lead and not a DC input jack shown in the Amazon pictures.If it wasn’t for the fact I received two monitors, both with dead pixels I would have given this five stars in a heartbeat, maybe I’m being overly critical given the price paid but that’s just me. That being said, it’s impressed me way more than its bandy VA cousins mentioned above – I’d rather live with a tiny black dot on a white background than a four inch wide dark vertical column visible on pretty much every background.

AOC Q3279VWFFirstly, I should point out that the 5 Stars I gave this monitor is based on its value for money as well as for its quality. Obviously, it is not as good as my 27 inch BenQ 2765, but that cost me nearly twice as much! However, in terms of the actually quality of the AOC, it is almost 5 star quality in itself. I now use the BenQ for photo work, and the AOC for gaming, so I will continue this review based on my gaming experiences.It is super having such a large screen to game on. I don't play fast shoot-em-ups or anything like that, but I love this screen for the 3 main games I do play. For Path of Exile the screen is excellent, rich colours, and the response times etc have no problems whatsoever. For Diablo III the same thing applies - Colours are very nice, response time is fine, and its nice to have such a large screen area. I am half blind, and this screen suits me very well. For the Witcher 3 there was a slight problem, as when I spin round too fast the background does "swirl" a tiny bit, but it settles down again quickly, and is nowhere near as bad as the 21 inch Samsung I bought 2 years ago for 100 Euros, which was horrible and was consigned to the cupboard immediately as an emergency backup.The other use I have for this AOC is as a monitor for my Xbox One, and it works very well indeed for that too. Forza Horizon 3 and FM7 work well on it, and I watch movies and Youtube on it with no problems.Some advice: Be patient for a few days, as the picture did improve a little bit, or maybe that was just me getting used to it. Also, the picture seems better when the PC is set to the same resolution as the output from the source, and it did seem to look better at the native resolution of 2560 x 1440.
