AOC lifted the curtain on its latest gaming monitor today and it sounds very impressive, with a massive 35-inch curved panel running a 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio and a massive 160Hz refresh rate coupled with FreeSync for the gaming crowd.
The star of the show here is the curve, which comes in at a radius of 2000mm, which is more of a curve than most conventional monitors offer, which should result in a more immersive gaming experience. On top of that, there is a maximum refresh rate of 160Hz and thanks to FreeSync adaptive refresh rate technology, gamers should be able to get the smoothest experience possible as long as their game is running anywhere between 45 and 160 frames per second.
The panel itself uses MVA technology for deeper blacks and a higher contrast ratio of 2000:1, which should offer an enhanced viewing experience compared to TN panels. The monitor also comes with a 4ms response time and runs at a resolution of 2560×1080 so even gamers with mid-range GPUs will be able to get a lot out of this monitor and its high refresh rate.
The AOC C3583FQ will be available next month and will retail for £579.99.
KitGuru Says: If you are looking to get an ultra-wide monitor with an ultra-high refresh rate, then this is shaping up to be a pretty attractive option. Are any of you planning to make the jump to ultra-wide this year? I've been meaning to try it out myself.
ohhhh….very tempting. Maybe wait for Freesync over HDMI monitors.
Needs to be 3440x1440p. 1080P shouldn’t be a focus at all for 2016 and onwards. We should have DP 1.3 around the corner.
man. this would be 110% the perfect monitor if it was 3440×1440.
Price would be much higher , like 900~1100$ without Tax.
That’s a lot of money for a 1080p panel. I wouldn’t buy this. If it were $100 less or 1440p I’d gladly shell out the money for it. Yes I know 1440p would make it more expensive but that would be worth it since there’s only one other curved ultrawide with freesync. AOC, just make a 100 hz freesync 1440p 35′ and you can have my cash.
Dammit 1080 🙁
downsample
Careful, you’re fishing for the “our eyes can’t see resolutions higher than 720p anyway” kids with that comment. Yes, they really do exist.
Double-wide would look perfect in my double-wide.
