Planar Helium PCT2785 vs AOC U2777PQU

The black levels are respectively low at 0.16cd/m², which helps the contrast ratio achieve 1100:1 which is much lower than the advertised 5000:1, but still quite good.

The response time is 12ms, which isn't lightning fast, but it's still quick enough to make the system feel more responsive than cheaper monitors. While not fast enough for high-level gaming, this monitor won't make your system feel slow or unresponsive.

It really does look like a massive tablet with a kickstand - but that's not a bad thing. There's no stand visible, leaving the front looking very clean. The stand can angle anywhere from 15-70 degrees which allows for flexible use, or it can be folded in and used flat on the desk or even mounted using the VESA mounting holes.

This monitor has many peripherals built-in, and unless you use them heavily they will do the job just fine. Unless you feel the need for dedicated hardware, the built-in stereo speakers work well enough, and the webcam and mic are acceptable quality for occasional recreational use (for business calls or other uses where quality is important, you'll want to upgrade to dedicated hardware).

Because of its small input lag AOC U2777PQU is great decision for gaming. Image will feel responsive due to little input lag, which is only 4ms.

Ultra High Definition (UHD) allows users to see more on the screen at one time; it gives more 'real estate' and also shows more detail for sharper and more brilliant images. Perfect decision for designers, photo/video editors.

You can connect to this hub - SSD/HDD drive, mouse or keyboard.

The stand gives a vertical travel of 18cm. Also, panel can be tilted to 4 degrees.

If you are using this monitor rarely out of home, you’d probably will not bother with a laptop lock. But, if you are storing it in a place where other people can have access to it, locking slot would be a real benefit.

It gives you 178/178 degree viewing angles with a good image quality from all viewing positions.
