Product Information

The immediately obvious issue with this mode is unfortunately that the brightness OSD control is now fully locked, and with that set at a level of 70% the screen is just too bright.

White point was a bit too warm although to be fair the screen is set in the ‘warm’ mode out of the box. The screen also includes a USB hub, KVM function and Picture by Picture (PbP) support, a handy ‘Quick Switch’ accessory is provided and there are integrated 2x 8W DTS sound speakers, making it a very capable all-round monitor.There was the 35″ ultrawide Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ all the way back in mid-2019 which had a 512-zone FALD backlight.

At the maximum refresh rate of 170Hz there was only a small visual difference between the weak and medium modes, with the medium showing a small improvement in clarity and sharpness. Even at a 0% brightness adjustment the screen was measured at a bright 190 nits, which is likely too bright for many users, who might rather calibrate to 120 or 150 nits for instance. The ‘medium’ mode is fine at 120Hz, and only when it gets down to around 80 – 100Hz does the overshoot start to become apparent. Choose whatever colour you like, sync it up with your other AOC devices and test the different glowing patterns.millioin colors, which are typical for 8-bit display panels, and not the standard 262200 colors, instead. The widescreen 21:9 aspect ratio is perfect for watching movies in an expansive format or immersing yourself in the latest game, plus it offers more space when it’s time to work. The horizontal scan rate/frequency shows the number of horizontal lines, displayed by the monitor per second, when it is plugged to a digital source. If it's in your budget range, and you like its styling, then you're not going to be disappointed with picture quality and performance – the Mini LED tech puts it a level above some other options at this size, and we were very pleased with the visuals no matter what we were doing on the screen.
