AOC U3477PQU 34 inch 3440×1440 IPS Review

It is easy to miss, but along the bottom of the screen, on the right hand side is a list of icons, these are related to the onscreen menu system. These are not touch sensitive buttons incidentally….

… the picture above was taken with the screen laying on its back. These are the physical buttons which operate the onscreen menu system. From left to right: Switch input, move left, move right, menu on/off/accept, power off/on.

The physical buttons are really very intuitive to use. Unfortunately like many screens we have looked at lately the power button is not separated from the other buttons. It is rather easy in operation to accidentally press the on/off button instead of closing or enabling the on screen menu – they are right beside each other in the row.

The input button calls up a simple menu to toggle between the four input connectors. We are using DisplayPort for all our testing today.

The luminance menu offers control over contrast, brightness, game, and pixel overdrive. ECO mode lets the user cater to power saving modes.

The Color Setup panel allows for adjustments over the colour balance. The default Colour Temp is set to ‘Warm'. We look at this in more detail when we analyse performance.

The Picture Boost panel does pretty much what it says. It allows the image to be boosted, along with controls for H.Position, V.Position.
