Great quality and looks good in pairs

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019

This is 1 of 3 that I have setup for a gaming rig and I absolutely LOVE this monitor. it has an awesome refresh rate, great quality picture and just looks really cool on the desk. If you are looking for a good gaming monitor I highly recommend a couple of these.

The input lag is around 87ms so it's not good for fast paced games

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2016

It's a decent monitor, but it's for the casual gamer. The input lag is around 87ms so it's not good for fast paced games. Plus, when I had mine it flickered to black screen often while in 4k. I do admit though, the 10-Bit color looked amazing, very sharp picture, and its produces an amazing picture. But it only had 1 HDMI port, and 1 display port. It could be better. I returned it, and I am going ot purchase the Asus 4k monitor as it only has 11ms of input lag.

AOC U2879VF Monitor. I've been using this Monitor for about 2 months now. I first tried the Seiki UHD 28". 2 of them would not work out of the box. Gave a test drive of the Samsung 28" UHD. This AOC is comparable to the Samsung. Colors are very good and text is crisp. Aesthetically nice also. I would highly recommend this for the price.

Looks good! *updated*

I own two of these, one purchased from Newegg and one from a 3rd party seller on Amazon to give as a gift. Simply put, this screen is FANTASTIC. The colors are vivid, the screen is big, the price is great - at $300. *update at bottom*

As far as "input lag"(output lag), I haven't noticed any on CSGO, COH2, Fallout 4, etc. During times when the screen is pitch black, light bleed at the edges is perceptible, but the other 99.99% of the time it goes unnoticed. I have noticed some slight screen tearing on demanding games(noted in update below). Make sure to use a 4k capable cable such as HDMI 2 or Displayport(package should include one of both). Playing games at 1080 or 2160p still look good at the 28" screen size, it really up-sizes well.

*update*
I've had this monitor for over a year and a half and can still say it is great! However, since my last update I have experienced small but noticeable screen tearing in many newer games even with vsync on. With many more 144hz screens available now, I recommend you look into buying a 2K 100/120/144hz monitor instead. At 28 inches screen size, I've found higher frame rates are much more noticeable than a resolution increase. If you really want 4k, the monitor is still a great deal at $300.

Since my last review update, I have upgraded my system to:

MSI Nvidia GTX 1080 + AMD Ryzen 1700 + MSI B350 Tomahawk board, 16GB DDR4 RAM (3000mhz overclock, SK-hynix not the acclaimed Samsung b-die)

TL;DR: It's a great screen at a great price of $300, I recommend looking into 2k 100/120/144hz monitors instead.

I know that there are various levels of quality with this type of equipment, but I personally am not too critical of all the tiny little details a lot of people seem to care about. For the money that I spent and the time I have used this thing...fantastic value fantastic monitor, just all around worth it! I play a lot of video games and watch a lot of video on this thing and it has not disappointed me in any way. The only thing is there is 1 tiny dead pixel...but I only notice it when the screen is pitch black so basically I never even noticed that its there.

This monitor's size and capabilities are remarkable for less than $300. Beautiful 4K video, gaming and pictures when combined with high end machine with no lag, tearing, or ghosting at all. Input equals seemingly instant results. What a DEAL!

MONITOR GOING OUT AFTER 3 MONTHS

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

When it was working it always gave good quality, but I noticed every so often when my cat jumped on my desk the moniter just went black then back to normal. I figure the vibrations were just jerking the cables but today when I went to turn it on it took 20 minutes just to get a display. It might just be a single manfuncted monitor but beware because if it isnt then these have only a few month live span on them

Comparable to $600+ options ; except 4k latency

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2017

Really a superb monitor for the price point. Mine has no screen bleed or color tuning problems, sitting right next to the Acer Predator, it's exactly the same, yet more modest looking, perfect for IT or upscale offices.

The latency is around 40 -50 ms on my panel which is more than sufficient for anything except competitive FPS gaming. I prefer this monitor for my day-to-day gaming setup

This ought to be five stars...BUT,

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018

It really is BIG resolution, 3840 x 2160ppi. And calling it plug-n-play with Windows-10 creator's update version 1803, may be a bit of a stretch. I'm using this on an Intel 8600K core i5, with GTX1060. To say nothing of the poser z370 controller chip & it's being a z270 re-coded for coffee lake, my system graphics were stable before installing the AOC U2879 monitor. And then the intermittent black screen descended rapidly in it's wake.

cons: Out dated drivers. Generic drivers and AOC drivers caused continual black screen on and off at about 90 second intervals. Extremely frustrating! The newest AOC driver for this is dated, 29OCT2015. At least two major feature updates/upgrades ago on Windows-10. This eventually involved a renewed relationship with the recovery options in start-up. Where, by the way, the lock screen doesn't suffer from the driver issue & the BIOS firmware screen also doesn't fail for lack of support.

Also, the (Screen+) AOC Gridscreen executable file which is separate from the actual monitor driver is another bag of feral cats. With this program installed, any attempt to click & drag a window from it's opening position to another position where, Oh I don't know, maybe I'd like to SEE the other window I'm working with, immediately maximizes the front window so I cannot move it. (FUME) Just another damn hurdle in using MY computer, requiring me to jump through another hoop of disabling (exiting from) the Gridscreen/Screen+ program and get back to my work.

pros: The UHD resolution makes my digital photography look awesome, when it's actually visible. a.k.a. when the computer isn't booting a black screen.

I shopped this monitor for DVI connector support. Since the market proliferation of HDMI terminals to pacify the digital rights Nazis, DVI has become increasingly difficult to find on newer monitors despite remaining the default video card jack. Turns out, after I unplugged the BUGGY HDMI interface and brought my DVI cable out of mothballs, I now have a consistent picture again. After all the broken driver installs and uninstalls over and again.

Conclusion: This is conditionally a beautiful Ultra HD monitor. I suspect that if the AOC corporation would draft their developmental guru's to UPDATE the HDMI protocols in their driver for compatibility with the newest Windows-10 version, this would be a FIVE STAR review and lacking all this pissing and griping. So, apart from wasting 2 days of my life which I can never recover I guess it's pretty good.

I'm very impressed with the presentation of this monitor. The colours are clean--the blacks are better defined than even my Samsung 4k TV-- and the lines are crisp. It's amazing what you get for the price you're paying. The only downside is the response time. I tried using it with an nVidia card and with a Freesync-enabled AMD card. The delay was almost unbearable without Freesync. However, with Freesync, it performs better than any other TN panel I've owned. Another small gripe: the buttons feel mushy and cheaply made, and the settings interface is a bit clunky. Though, I've never encountered a monitor that had a well-designed interface. Switching inputs is fast and clean (you're able to select an input rather than cycling through them), and all settings are clearly marked and available for use. This monitor is really all I could hope and ask for.
