AOC announces V4 monitor series
Display specialist AOC launches a new monitor line – the V4 series – offering QHD and UHD resolutions with panel sizes of 23.8” (60.5 cm), 27” (68.6 cm) and up to 31.5” (80 cm).
AOC launches a new monitor line – the V4 series – offering QHD and UHD resolutions with panel sizes of 23.8” (60.5 cm), 27” (68.6 cm) and up to 31.5” (80 cm). With a simple yet attractive 3-side frameless design, these models are great candidates for budget-conscious home users with an eye for design. All displays are equipped with IPS panels for vivid and natural colour reproduction. The 75 Hz refresh rate of the QHD models makes motion 25% smoother than regular 60 Hz monitors. Additionally, Adaptive-Sync support in all models eliminates tear and stutter when the framerate varies, which makes these monitors a great fit for casual gamers. With all these features, the V4 series is a perfect all-rounder for both working from home and entertainment purposes.
AOC V4 series: versatile, affordable and with a great design
AOC’s V4 series combines image quality, versatility and attractive design with a great price. Built to be future proof, all four displays employ QHD (2560 x 1440) or 4K/UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) panels, a significant upgrade from the commonly established Full HD standard. The V4 series models are also equipped with flat IPS panels, which are great for productivity work such as spreadsheets, drawing, graphic design, photo editing etc. thanks to their accurate colour reproduction and wide viewing angles (178/178°), which dramatically reduce the horizontal/vertical colour shift and further improve the user experience.
The V4 monitors’ versatility also extends to the wide connectivity options, including a DisplayPort for connecting desktop/laptop PCs, HDMI ports suitable for streaming sticks, gaming consoles or any other HDMI-using device.
The stand allows tilt adjustment, while the 100x100 VESA mount option enables alternative installations with wall or desk mounts, such as AOC’S AS110 or AD100, for full ergonomic flexibility. All V4 models are also equipped with two 2 W speakers.
The U27V4EA comes with a 4K Ultra HD panel, resulting in an impressive 163 pixels per inch on its 27” display, for extra sharp text and images and an increased screen real estate for a variety of applications. The U27V4EA also has a higher peak brightness of 350 nits, making it usable even in brightly lit environments. Like its QHD siblings, this 4K model has a 4 ms GtG response time and Adaptive-Sync support to eliminate stutter and tearing, making it a great 4K display choice for casual gamers, too.
The Q24V4EA (23.8”), Q27V4EA (27”) and Q32V4 (31.5”) feature IPS panels running at QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) at a 75 Hz refresh rate as well as 4 ms GtG response time. The Low Blue Light mode and FlickerFree technology reduce eye fatigue for comfortable usage for hours on end.
The AOC Q24V4EA, Q27V4EA, Q32V4 and U27V4EA will be available from April 2021 at an RRP of £159, £209, £229 and £289, respectively.

Low quality, low refresh rate, 6 bit garbage panels. But, the first 23.8'' QHD I see in a long time!
Hopefully other manufacturers make a decent true 8bit 144hz QHD panel people would actually want to buy soon!
PS: I've used a 6bit panel and I advise everyone to stay away if they don't want to go blind and have constant headache. Now rocking a Benq EX2510 and loving it. Would buy again!
Where does it says 6 bit panel? I read the announcement 2 times and can't find it, do you have an external reference on this, I was eyeing an AOC screen and want to make sure it's not a 6 bit panel.
Note: I thought that 6 bit panels were a thing of the past, maybe even before 2010

AOC need to change their name. I'll bet it ruffles some conservative peeps who associate the name with Alexandra Ocasio Cortez.

I am not buying BenQ screens since XL2420T. Amount of firmware modifications I had to do to get reasonable representation of white and smooth color transitions was far beyond what anyone should be doing.
Tom's review of your screen shows yellow tint on greyscale too. If BenQ managed to fire engineer responsible for color transitions, I do not know. But that thing my screen was doing originally was disgusting.
Battle against blue light has to stop. Or such screen needs proper color representations when anti-blue-light function is disabled.

6bit panels have flooded the market in recent years, almost all cheap monitors are 6bit panels.
How do they reproduce an accurate colour colour then? FRC, a technology invented by LG in the mid 2000.
Here is the reference: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/319d2489
I also used this website to screen hundreds of monitors until I found my Benq EX2510.
TLDR: avoid FRC like the plague if you wanna avoid headaches and eye strain.

Here you have the info friend: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/0a759b4
As you can see, another poop panel with 6 bit impossible to ever be good. It was also a TN panel, no wonder colours were horrid.
My monitor is not 10bit or anything fancy, but I find the colours good without being oversaturated.
Reviews are good across the board:
I don't trust Toms Hardware.
Take care.
