Unlike some of the TV-sized displays we’ve reviewed recently, being just 25-inches in size, the AOC 2577PWQ ships in a box that’s more than manageable.
The box contains a DVI cable, VGA cable, DisplayPort cable, power cable and a 3.5mm audio pass-through cable. The CD contains some additional software, a driver and the user manual, which is not included as a physical copy.
There’s also a micro-fibre cleaning cloth and the screws that are required to attach the stand to the back.
The stand’s base has a reflective metal look, although it’s covered in a small layer of transparent plastic. Underneath we can see the familiar “key” locking system to secure it to the stand.
The rest of the stand comes in a single piece. It clips neatly into the base, before it can be secured by turning the metal key.
The panel has a dark matte finish, with a slim bezel around the side. There’s a metallic silver lower frame with the AOC logo in the centre, which is actually covered in plastic, as with the base.
The stand has to be screwed into the back of the display manually, using the 100mm VESA holes. When attached it’s very flexible, with tilt between -5 and 23 degrees, and it can be raised up to 130mm. It also supports pivoting 90 degrees into portrait mode.
At the very bottom of the stand is a small plastic cable management accessory.
There are four display inputs on the right-hand side. From left to right we have DisplayPort, VGA, DVI and HDMI, which supports MHL connections from Android phones. Next to them are audio connectors.
There’s a Kensington lock underneath the video inputs, and on the left-hand side is a standard IEC power connector.
At the bottom are five physical buttons to control the OSD. These look identical to those on AOC’s Q2778VQE but work much better here due to the improved legibility of the white labels on the metallic frame.
