Variety of settings
Monitors with 4K resolution have been here for some time now, but their significant expansion has long been hindered by their high prices. More solid models used to cost over €500, and the cheaper ones often offered relatively low-quality panels with TN. However, times have changed and 4K monitors are not necessarily a privilege anymore, but common mainstream products. This is exactly what AOC is trying to prove with the new U27V4EA.
Variety of settings
Five buttons on the right edge of the display located at the bottom are used for navigation. The power button is slightly larger than the other four buttons. I also made fewer wrong moves during the use and felt that the pictograms on the lower chin corresponded better to the location of the buttons. I often have a problem with this on AOC monitors, and mistaken actions used to be very common. It is therefore positive to see that the manufacturer is listening to user feedback and trying to improve the navigation.
Quick button actions offer input change, volume adjustment and Clear Vision control.
The OSD menu is identical to previous AOC monitors and offers nothing unconventional. The absence of PiP and PbP, which tend to be present on 27-inch monitors, is a bit disappointing.
However, redesigning the OSD menu, especially in terms of design, would not be detrimental. Especially when the exterior design of AOC monitors improves with each generation.
