Further information on supporting our work.~32″ ‘4K’ UHD models provide excellent ‘desktop real estate’ potential. With a good amount of useful screen space and strong pixel density, making them attractive for various uses including design work and photography. The AOC Graphic Pro U32U3CV is built with this in mind, with a focus on high colour accuracy. The monitor uses the popular dual-stage bezel design at the top and sides, including slim panel border flush with the rest of the screen plus thin hard plastic outer part. The bottom bezel is thicker, whilst the stand has slender metal legs for a minimalistic look. The OSD is controlled by buttons which face downwards towards the right side of the bottom bezel.
A 31.5″ Nano IPS panel is used with 3840 x 2160 (‘4K’ UHD) resolution, matte anti-glare screen surface and 60Hz refresh rate. Adaptive-Sync is supported, allowing technologies such as AMD FreeSync and Nvidia ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ to be used. A 1000:1 static contrast ratio is specified alongside 178°/178° viewing angles and 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) colour. The monitor is factory calibrated with DeltaE <2 within the sRGB colour space and includes a 3D LUT with support for hardware calibration using Calman software (Calman Ready). A flicker-free WLED backlight offers a 400 cd/m² typical maximum luminance and 98% DCI-P3 colour gamut. The monitor responds to HDR content in a basic way, at the VESA DisplayHDR 400 level. This allows it to make use of its 10-bit colour processing and generous DCI-P3 gamut, though brightness is limited by HDR standards and no local dimming is specified.
A 4ms grey to grey response time is specified, but as usual pay little attention to this figure. The stand is fully adjustable, including height adjustment and pivot into portrait. The included stand can be removed using a quick-release mechanism to reveal provision for an alternative 100 x 100mm VESA compatible solution. The ports mainly face downwards and include; AC power input (internal power converter, with zero-watt switch), 2 HDMI 2.0 ports, DP 1.4, USB-C (96W PD, DP Alt Mode, upstream data), USB-C downstream (15W PD), RJ45 LAN and 2 USB-A ports. At the right side, as viewed from the front, the monitor includes; 2 additional USB-A ports (1 with fast-charging), USB-C (15W PD) and a 3.5mm headphone jack. 2 x 3W speakers are also included, alongside PiP/PbP and KVM for easy display input switching and USB peripheral sharing between 2 systems.
Further details can be found on the manufacturer’s website. The monitor is available from July 2024 with an MSRP ~£500.
