US residents who can't pop into a local Micro Center to check out the $349 AOC U2870VQE with their own eyeballs may feel at ease with the retailer's 30 day refund policy – I've never dealt with the company so can't recommend them. If you have a yearning for 4K visuals and a 'value minded' budget restriction perhaps this new AOC monitor will be an attractive proposition. Full specs are available here (click the specs tab). The supplied stand offers just tilt adjustment but you can optionally mount the monitor on some other stand/wall mount via 100mm x 100mm mounts. AOC touts the ability of the MHL connection to display your smartphone content on the large 28-inch 4K display while simultaneously charging the device. Monitor connectivity options are varied, with the following ports present VGA (cable supplied), DisplayPort, Mini-DP and MHL-enabled HDMI. AOC says that the 'mega dynamic contrast ratio' on offer is 70,000,000:1. The 10-bit panel (8-bit + FRC) offers viewers 1.07 billion colours which should provide an extra richness and vividness to the display.

Its response time is a fast 1ms (grey to grey) and optimal refresh rate at native resolution of 3840 x 2160 is 60Hz. The AOC U2870VQE employs an LED backlit non-glare TN panel bounded by an extra narrow bezel.

HEXUS has been told that the monitor is available immediately to US customers priced at $349 for a limited period. This display is intended to be an affordable 28-inch 4K monitor, aimed squarely at the value-minded shopper who wants clear crisp images on a non-glare panel. AOC has launched and immediately released the U2870VQE monitor.
