A screen size of ~32” is something of a sweet spot for the ‘4K’ UHD resolution, in our experience. The balance between comfortable scaling-free viewing and clarity is excellent. The AOC U3277PWQU distinguished itself from many alternatives of this size and resolution by offering a VA (Vertical Alignment) panel. The Samsung U32H850 (rebranded as U32H750 ... Read More
