VERDICT
With a huge MVA panel, 75Hz refresh rate and 1440p resolution for only £200, this monitor is incredibly good value
EVERYONE LOVES A big, high-resolution monitor, but they’re usually so expensive that it makes more financial sense to go with a simple Full HD display, or one without so much screen space. The AOC Q3279VWF turns that trend on its head: it’s a huge monitor that costs a mere £200, and despite that, doesn’t come with too many compromises.
You’re certainly getting a lot of screen for your money. The Q3279VWF has a resolution of 2,560x1,440 and it stretches that across a huge 31.5in MVA panel. That’s a good combination for ensuring that you can fit in multiple windows while keeping everything sharp and legible.
If that wasn’t enough, the panel runs natively at 75Hz (rather than the more standard 60Hz) and comes with support for AMD FreeSync, which provides tear-free gaming for those with compatible AMD graphics cards. In other words, it’s got everything you need on paper.
WIDENING HORIZONS
First, you’ll want to make sure the Q3279VWF actually fits on your desk, because this monitor is big; really big. It’s 730mm wide, 425mm tall and 153mm deep. The stand footprint isn’t unreasonably massive, though, and its brushed aluminium design and glossy low-profile bezels both look pretty slick.
