AOC U3277PQU 32-inch 4K display review

If you’re not after the very finest colour accuracy or advanced monitor gaming features such as 144Hz or adaptive-sync technology, the AOC U3277PQU is a great choice.

Its biggest selling point is its super high resolution 32-inch screen, which is great for gaming and gives a large desktop area to work on.

The stand tilts, rotates and pivots and the OSD is a little basic, without any remote control or joystick controller, but it’s quick to find settings and options through the menus.

Although our results showed a disappointing inability to hit the claimed 350 cd/m2 brightness level, subjectively, the picture quality is as bright as you could want from a general-purpose display.

We’re not even sure why AOC bothered with a VGA input, besides backwards compatibility with (now ancient) portable devices. A second HDMI input would have been welcome. But it’s great to see the newer HDMI 2.0 standard included on a 4K display, as it should be, providing 60Hz 4K video over HDMI.

AOC could work on a better input system. Asus is light years ahead of the competition with its joystick controls, and Philips has something similar on some of its displays.

As of now, the price is spot-on for a 32-inch display. It roughly matches a very close competitor, BenQ’s 32-inch BL3201PT both in feature list and price.

Overall, we’d consider the two to be neck and neck. While any 32-inch display will carry a price tag that’s hardly pocket change, the £600 price here is justified by the superb list of features.

Pros:

  • Solid all-round 4K display with 10-bit IPS panel and 32-inch screen.
  • Good colour reproduction.
  • Good value, relative to alternative 4K displays.

Cons:

  • More HDMI or DisplayPort inputs would be useful.
  • Not quite as bright as some alternative displays.

Kitguru Says: A 32-inch 10-bit IPS screen and very good picture quality goes a long way towards justifying the price of the AOC U3277PQU.

  2. “The AOC U3277PQU is a high-end 4K display, with a large 32-inch screen and a specification suited to graphic design work and gaming alike. It has a 10-bit IPS AHVA panel, built-in speakers, a picture-in-picture mode and a fully flexible stand – for a relatively reasonable price.”

    How can anyone trust this review when the reviewer clearly doesn’t know what he is reviewing? The AOC U3277PQU is not a 4K monitor and it does not have an AHVA panel, it is a 2560×1440 monitor with an AMVA panel. I am looking at mine as I type.

  3. You linked to the wrong product, take a closer look at the two names. You linked the Q3277 and not the U3277 reviewed here. The U in this case stands for UHD, while the Q on the product you linked to stands for QHD, explaining the difference in resolution. You should probably double-check what you are looking at if you are going to call someone out.

  4. Any measure of input lag for this display?
    Also, I thought this was an 8-bit panel with some special tech to simulate 10-bit colour range?

    this is the display model which is used in this monitor. It’s clearly stated 10 bit RPG data input. (not 8 bit + FRC). The input lag is ~10 ms, which is very good result in a contrary to a new “gaming” ViewSonic XG2700-4K (23ms), look it here: http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/97846a8
