Review on AOC U2790VQ – 4K Frameless DisplayPort Monitor with Tilt Adjustment, Wall Mount, Blue Light Filter by Brian Mays

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Important for Mac users

Background: I used a 2015 27" iMac with a pair of matching 27" Thunderbolt displays. A few months ago I decided to "step up" to a 2013 Mac Pro, which turned out to be an excellent computer. However, this meant I was left with 2 displays. I work from home and have MANY documents and applications and file explorer windows open at all times. I know it sounds greedy but I've really been spoiled with 3 27 inch displays. So I did a little research and settled on this AOC monitor. Unfortunately, I discovered too late that a 2013 Mac doesn't support HDMI 2.0 and that connecting the display directly to the Mac's HDMI port meant I was only getting 30Hz. The resolution was far from desirable. A Mac can support 6 Thunderbolt displays, but I found that even when scaling the display, it didn't quite match two TB displays and cursor movement was very choppy. instead of an ad. I wouldn't say it's a bad monitor. In fact, image quality and colors were pretty good for its price range. It just doesn't fit my Mac Pro. If you're using computers, your displays really need to match, and I haven't thought about it enough.
