Today we're checking out the AOC Graphic Pro U32U3CV, one of the company's first professional monitors geared towards creatives. Announced back at a special event in April, the Graphic Pro U3 series comprises three initial SKUs and we're checking out the flagship model. Sporting a 32in 4K Nano IPS panel, the U32U3CV is Calman Ready and designed to meet the needs of modern professionals. We put it through its paces today.

While we have reviewed heaps and heaps of AOC Gaming monitors over the years, the Graphic Pro U3 series is something entirely new for the company, so it'll be fascinating to see what this screen can deliver. Priced at £499 UK MSRP, though on sale for around £530, AOC is claiming impressive out of the box colour accuracy, with a deltaE of less than 2 for the sRGB space, alongside wide colour gamut, KVM functionality, multiple USB-C ports and more.
