AOC U2790VQ 27" 4K

Anyone have any experiences with this monitor?

 

I've been looking to upgrade to a 4k monitor for the higher pixel density so that text looks less terrible. I'll be using it with MacOS, so scaling shouldn't be a concern. I would honestly prefer a 24" monitor, but I'm not interested in spending the $380~ that the Dell P2415Q costs. The alternative was waiting on a sale of the Acer CB282K, which would be preferable for the tilt and pivot (as I do sometimes use it vertically), but even with a sale it will probably still be a decent amount more and I can always use my current monitor for the vertical use cases and/or add a monitor arm in the future.

TL;DNR No experience with that monitor, just a general aside

 

it may be a good idea to make sure you’ve got the hardware to drive 4k.  Which of course you may have already done.  Video memory can be a concern is all.  iGPUs use system memory so if using one the extra memory pulled can cause issues if memory is already in short supply.

Since it's only for office use, memory shouldn't be a problem.
