With the growing rise in popularity of new high resolution Ultra Wide monitors we take a look at the AOC Q2963PM. This panel has support for both Dual Link DVI and DisplayPort connectors and can output at 2,560×1080 resolution. If you need a lot of deskspace is this a cost effective upgrade at the end of the year?
We have seen opinion split in regards to the new series of Ultra Wide monitors, some of our readers love them while others feel that the unusual 21:9 aspect ratio doesn't bring anything really practical to the table.
The WFHD 2,560×1080 resolution might not be for everyone, but The AOC Q2963PM incorporates a quality IPS LED panel.

I have bought one of these today based on this review. my old Samsung has seen better days. now I better sell something so I can afford christmas presents!
The stand looks great, never seen them build ports into the top of a stand before. shame it doesnt raise up, looks quite low down. which could be a deal breaker
Guy in our clan has one of these and we all think it kicks some serious ass. Only problem is I do notice a little bit of motion blur from time to time, but I have sensitive eyes.
I think ive seen this for £299 somewhere, but can’t find it now 🙁
I bought one of these from eBuyer at reduced cost due to it being ex-display but it arrived perfect. Only thing worth noting is that a DVI-I cable cannot provide the full res to the screen – you need full DVI-D to get top resolution of 2560 x 1080. HDMI and DisplayPort handle the resolution otherwise.
I have owned an AOC Q2963PM monitor for about six weeks. I bought it to replace two 23″ monitors which left no room for paperwork on my desk. The quality of this Q2963PM is superb. Unlike some previously owned monitors, this one is rock-steady on its stand. Many images look superb when displayed in 22:9 aspect ratio, particularly when you can crop away a lot of sky and sea! I am highly satisfied with this monitor and would not go back to splitting the (computer) desktop between two monitors.
