Pros
Pro Excellent screen uniformity
The AOC U2879VF has excellent screen uniformity, both in terms of luminance and color. In fact, this panel scores extremely well with a luminance deviation of 6.32 percent - which is better than most displays with IPS panels. No backlight bleeding or hotspots are present.
Pro Fast response time, great for gaming
With a response time of just 1ms, the AOC U2879VF is one of the fastest monitors on the market. Ideal for fast-paced gaming situations such as first person shooters.
Pro Thin bezel makes it ideal for multi-screen setups
The bezel of this display measures a thin 17 mm, which doesn't only result in a smaller build, but it makes the U2879VF also more suitable for multi-display setups.
Pro Support for MHL allows you to quickly connect a media device
This monitor supports MHL - short for Mobile High-Definition Link - which allows you to connect an Android smartphone or tablet to the U2879VF monitor.
Pro Excellent grayscales in sRGB preset, great for graphical work
When using the sRGB preset - which is particularly useful for graphical editing - the grayscale error readings of the U2879VF are quite low for a relatively inexpensive panel. The error measures was 0.93 Delta E - that's only a tad worse than specific graphical displays which retail for a much larger price. For comparison, a standard 28" TN panel measures at 1.60 Delta E. (Lower is better.)
Pro Extremely sharp
The AOC U2879VF uses a 4K-display with a resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels, which is four times the amount of pixels of a Full HD display. This results in an extremely sharp image and overall great image quality. In terms of pixel density (measured in pixels per inch), this display measures at 163 ppi. For comparison - a Full HD display of the same size will only achieve half of that - 81.5 pixels per inch.
Pro Great value for the money
The AOC U2879VF is a cheap Ultra HD display with good image quality, the price/quality ratio of this display is quite high.
Pro Great image quality
The monitor uses a VA-panel, which is comparable to IPS. Image quality is excellent and aspects such as color reproduction, contrast and brightness are all great.
Pro Good viewing angles
Another advantage of the VA-panel is the range of the viewing angles. The monitor looks great from every horizontal and vertical viewing angle and color shifting doesn't occur.
Pro Curved display increases visual workspace
The AOC C3583FQ is curved and is angled similar to the curves of the human eye. Because of the curved screen, points on the screen are spread more evenly across your eyes, which increases your visual workspace and can reduce eyestrain.
Pro Connections integrated in the base
In terms of connectivity, all ports are integrated into the base of the large display. That results in a more tidy environment and no cables dangling on the rear of the display.
Pro Extremely high refresh rate
The maximum refresh rate of this display is 160 Hz, which is extremely fast - even for high-end standards. Most high-end displays only offer up to 144 Hz, but this AOC display is a bit faster. High refresh rates are excellent for fast-paced gaming action and ensures a much greater fluidity.
Cons
Con Disappointing input lag
The absolute input lag measured on this display is quite high at 87 ms. Although this won't disturb casual players, it's definitely not ideal for fast-paced gaming situations - despite a fast response time.
Con Maximum refresh rate limited to 75 Hz, less ideal for fast-paced action
The maximum supported refresh rate of this monitor is 75 Hz or 75 frames per second which is a tad faster than non-Freesync monitors, but is not as good as 120 or 144 Hz displays. Especially fast-paced games benefit from a higher refresh rate, for a more fluid gaming experience.
Con 4K resolution doesn't scale well with all software
Due to the native 4K resolution and the relatively small 28 inch screen size, text can be hard to read in Windows and other non-gaming environments, such as Adobe's software. Not everything scales well in 4K (yet).
Con Red is slightly under-saturated
The display suffers from a slight under-saturation of the red color, which is a caveat for some graphical applications. This also can't be fixed through software, it's a hardware limitation of the panel.
Con Doesn't offer support for VESA mounts
The design of this display is proprietary and there is no support for the universal VESA standard. As a result, wall-mounting this display isn't possible, and alternative stands aren't compatible as well.
Con Smaller pixel density, not as sharp as other displays
The resolution of the AOC C3583FQ is Full HD, but because there's additional screen space on both sides, 2560 x 1080 pixels are displayed. This is the same pixel density as a regular 1080p non-ultrawide monitor. Because of the large screen size of 35 inch, this monitor isn't as sharp as some other displays. The amount of pixels per inch (ppi) is measured at 70.
Con Large stand-by power consumption
With a stand-by power consumption of over 60 watts, the AOC C3583FQ definitely isn't an economic display.
Con Doesn't support VESA mounting
The C3583FQ doesn't feature a VESA mount which makes wall-mounting or using an alternative stand impossible.
Con Awkward touch controls
The on-screen display and menu's of this AOC display are controlled via touch-sensitive controls on the base of the monitor. Due to the ultra-wide aspect ratio, the OSD can be a little bit awkard to control.
