AOC U27G4R Review (Affordable 4K Dual-Mode)
While we've been focused on the booming OLED monitor segment, that doesn't mean other areas of the market aren't moving forward, too. High refresh-rate 4K LCDs are getting cheaper and cheaper, with the AOC U27G4R we are looking at today priced at under £280. Not only does it offer a native 4K/160Hz experience, but it also supports dual-mode technology, meaning it can switch to 1080p/320Hz with the press of a button. But what's it actually like to use on a daily basis? We find out today.
Aside from the aforementioned dual-mode technology (which AOC confusingly calls both ‘Dual Frame' and ‘Dual Resolution' depending where you look), the U27G4R uses a Fast IPS panel, offering a claimed 1ms response time, alongside 1000:1 contrast and up to 400 nits of brightness. It also offers adaptive sync support and a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, so on paper it looks enticing at the circa-£280 price-point. Let's see if it can deliver.
