About this deal

There’s a very high brightness, the ability to control many small local dimming zones, a very good contrast ratio and an impressive real-World HDR experience. There’s also some fairly decent built-in speakers (2x 8W with DTS sound) along with headphone and mic connections provided. To get around the challenges of wide gamut AOC do provide an sRGB emulation mode which provides a very nice clamping of the colour space, and very good colour accuracy as well. Still, the HDR performance here easily surpasses the vast majority of desktop monitors so if HDR is a priority for you, this is well worth a look.

Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. With quick cyclic switching between different color tones, an illusion for a new intermediate color tone is created. It uses the latest Mini LED technology, which should mean better brightness and dimming control than many of its rivals. Due to the oscillation and behaviour of the backlight it was very difficult to accurately measure the response times with our test equipment, particularly when trying to identify overshoot values. Coverage is shown in absolute numbers as well as relative, which helps identify where the coverage extends beyond a given reference space.However, for a lot of normal desktop uses actually you want to work with a smaller SDR / sRGB colour space and that can be more difficult on a wide gamut screen. We measured a peak brightness of 1518 nits, which is a considerable way beyond the 1000 nits advertised. There’s a lot of monitors advertised as supporting HDR but very few that offer what we would consider proper, “real” HDR experience. The screen is not well suited to darker room conditions unfortunately as the backlight adjustment range is just too limited.

The operating temperature shows the safe temperature range (from minimum to maximum), within which the display will function flawlessly. space that HDR content is mastered in which is what we are considering here on the above CIE diagram. Anything over dE 3 needs correcting and causes more obvious differences in appearance relative to what should be shown. Beneath this RGB balance graph we provide the average correlated colour temperature for all grey shades measured, along with its deviance from the 6500k target. Add in a maximum 170Hz refresh rate, a 1ms grey-to-grey response time, and DisplayHDR 1000, and it's an appealing package.Witness a new layer of additional visual brilliance with VESA HDR 400 certified that ensures a level of picture quality that really puts you in the heart of the action. These have included FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) backlights and later, Mini LED backlights with increasing numbers of smaller dimming zones for better performance and content control.

With Full QHD resolution as well as a host of in-built features to bring you into the action all the while put together in a stylish, battle hardened frame. Powerful 21:9 MiniLED monitor with 170HZ, 1ms response time, customizable RGB and G-Menu Ultimate high-end gaming experience!

The Samsung Odyssey G9 remains one of the leading options if you're looking for a very big, very wide monitor. This display does not feature variable overdrive unfortunately, a feature that is almost exclusively available from Native NVIDIA G-sync module screens and designed to control response times and overshoot across the refresh rate range, being particularly useful for VRR situations. Need to change monitor settings to enhance your experience without worrying about taking your eye off the game?

It was great to see this Mini LED backlight featured in the ultrawide market as well, an area that has had little attention for these high end HDR backlights to date. We’d have liked access to the aspect ratio controls when this setting was enabled to cope with console inputs better. You're able to tilt and swivel it, as well as adjust the height, though it can't be rotated (as is normal for an ultrawide monitor like this).

The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. In this section we will also include the measured input lag and look at any blur reduction backlight feature if it’s available. Collecting the old product which is officially counted as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). This identifies how many of the measured pixel transitions were fast enough to keep up with the frame rate of the screen. Gaming wise the panels responsiveness and motion clarity was good and you have a pretty high refresh rate of 170Hz, backed by adaptive-sync VRR as ever.
