In terms of the design of the monitor, AOC is continuing to use the same general design aesthetic that we have seen from the company's previous monitors. That means we get a black and grey aesthetic, with the stand attaching to this asymmetrical hexagonal area, while the base of the stand is also a similarly asymmetrical shape.
RGB lighting is found on the back of the screen, too, and this can be configured in the OSD, or turned off completely if that's your preference.
The stand does offer a good variety of ergonomic adjustment, too. We find up to 130mm of height adjustment, 18.5 degrees of swivel both left and right, tilt from -3.5 to +18.5 degrees, alongside full 90 degree pivot functionality. VESA 100×100 mounts are also supported via an included adapter plate.
I/O, meanwhile, consists of 2x HDMI ports, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, alongside a three-port USB Type-A hub and an audio jack. That does mean no USB-C and no KVM functionality which is a definite shame considering the price-point and the nature of this Pulsar monitor.
AOC has fitted a built-in webcam though, not something we typically see from the company's gaming monitors, but it can be easily ignored.
Lastly, a small joystick is used to navigate the OSD.
