I have a 2 monitor set up that I use and switch between my personal and work computers. My other monitor has a KVM, so that makes it super convenient. Anyway, about this monitor.
I was skeptical of this monitor at first because it is a VA panel. Turns out the picture quality is great. If there are any pixels burnt out, I couldn’t tell you as they are too small for me to see. This is my first curved monitor, and I have to say, I think I personally prefer curved monitors now. Especially whenever monitors start going above 27”. It just makes everything easier to see, for me. I’ve watched 4k videos/movies on this monitor and it’s flawless, with vibrant colors. I didn’t need anything super fancy or expensive for my secondary monitor, just something that works. 60Hz suits my needs.
I did a lot of research between the VA panels and the IPS panels. The IPS monitors cost a lot more money, and for my primary use, which is office productivity, this is fine. If your primary use case is gaming or something with high accuracy color reproduction, then you might want to look at other monitors. I’ve played WoW on this monitor, and it worked fine, but I prefer my other monitor, which was made for gaming and higher FPS.
After a year of owning this one, I am very pleased with it.
Update: I have an M1 Mac Mini and running dark mode causes this screen to flicker, quite a lot. I have to run it in light mode, which I'm not a fan of, but this is not a problem of this monitor. The M1 Mac Mini, for some reason, doesn't support dark mode when running through HDMI. I haven't tried running this through USBC, so that may solve the issue, as I stated in my earlier review, this is my secondary monitor. I just wanted to provide that update in case you happen to have an M1 Mac, I can't speak to models other than the Mini, that you may experience this issue and it is your computer, not the monitor. My rating does not change as this monitor continues to be a great purchase.

Dual AOC 27" 4K Monitors are great!
My AOC 27" 4K monitors are great. Color quality and brightness are meet my needs for general computer use (I do not do much graphics, video, or picture editing and no gaming). In fact, I've not made any adjustments to the picture settings. I do a lot of work in Excel and Word and the detail provided by 4K is amazing. Gridlines and numbers in Excel and fonts in Word are amazingly fine and crisp. It really improves using both apps. I'm also a high school volleyball coach and watch a lot of game videos which likewise are greatly improved in 4K (I use a GoPro 7 Black for filming). I bought the monitors to replace two 24" Dell monitors from work when I retired in January. I run them off a new Dell XPS 13" through a CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 dock with one running off the HDMI port and one off the Display Port. I do not use the included stands, other than for setting up the initial connection to the dock, but the stands were very easy to connect and disconnect to the monitors and I kept them in case I ever change my configuration. I do recall that the monitor position on the stands was rather low, maybe only 6" above the desk surface. Each of my monitors is mounted on a separate Huanuo articulated monitor arm attached to the back of my desk. I knew the 27" monitors were not going to fit inside the side supports of the hutch of my desk which is only 46.5" wide on the inside, so I have them positioned in front of the hutch with the center of the screens approximately at eye level. With the Huanuo arms, it's easy to move them down or to the side when needed to access the hutch or to bring one forward for close work. My only disappointment is that the side bezels are .3", not quite as thin as I was expecting from the "Frameless" heading and looking at the pictures online. In my arrangement there's about .62" space between active screen segments when perfectly aligned next to each other. Currently, I never have windows that span both screens, but I do plan to use this setup for Microsoft Flight Simulator someday and I had hoped for a slightly more seamless main display. If you're not familiar with AOC, the company is a direct descendent of the old Admiral TV and appliance company. When I was growing up in the 60s, many people had Admiral color TVs when color was first appearing. When I realized this I was more confident in giving these monitors a try and I've been completely satisfied with them.
