welcome everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and today we're coming back with a
brand new unboxing and first look at a new monitor from AOC so this is AOC's
27 inch LCD monitor that offers a 4k resolution as you can see on the left
hand side it's from their 90 series which is a new range of monitors from
AOC underneath that you also have a model number the model number for this
monitor is u2790pqu the link will be in the description to a o'seas website
which you can see down there at the right hand corner underneath the model
number you also have then the actual sort of tagline which I explained and
then the size of the display which is either 27 inches or 68.4 7 centimeters
remember that's always measured corner to corner if we take a look at the
bottom right hand corner there you've got 4k UHD resolution of 3840 by
2160 s that's Ultra High Definition so everything is going to look crisp and
clean on this display as an IPS panel that offers a wide viewing angle that
means it could be viewed from multiple different angles by multiple different
users which is really interesting also there's not on the box I want to talk
about is the three sided frameless design as well that's gonna just make
this monitor pop out at you which is awesome and also it offers a USB hub
HDMI port DisplayPort and an easy assemble so it connects very easily and
we're going to take a look at that now so let's get it unbox see what's inside
and then also let's set up and see our first impressions one thing I always
like with AOC monitors on the top here it shows you how to remove the actual
monitor and its contents safely so you don't damage the monitor or yourself
then on this side I actually show you how to connect the stand and then the
adjustment of the stand if it is offered then how to connect to your device
very interesting and make sure you do take a quick look at these just to see
if they are helpful to you unpacking our accessories and I'll stand out the bots
before we get the display out this is everything you're gonna receive let's go
through them individually so first of all you've got a CD here with manuals
and drivers on it and then you can download them as well also from the
website I think that is a little sheet of information from AOC
then the big sheet is about color operation and then illumination of your
display and you can go through that and set that the way you want to set it
after you've finished also you've got a UK three-pin plug here so that's going
to be the one we're going to use all the time you then have a display port to
DisplayPort connection cable you have a haitch d mi to HDMI cable you then have
an audio cable so 3.5 to 3.5 jack here that you can plug in an audio option if
you so want to but it does have integrated speakers then you have your
USB a three hubs connection cable here that will go into your device then at
the top there you've got a European to pin plug if you are in Europe as well
that will come with a European to pin plug we then have our base stand over
here and then also you have your column here which you're going to connect
together now and it does look nice and real nice brushed finish on the top here
this is plastic underneath is metal again with this you're gonna find a
plastic outlay but metal on the inside so to put these two together relatively
easy as it said on the box very easy assembly it always is with AOC products
first of all taking a look at the base plates as you can see here's got a nice
glossy shiny finish to it you've got your locking and that's there
in the middle if I turn this around here you do have rubberized feet there there
are nicely big actually as well which is quite handy that will protect your desk
from scratches so as you can see here at the bottom of the column there's two
little hooks and what that will do is sort of so what you do is place your two
hooks in bring down and then obviously you're gonna use that lock in that here
at the bottom you've got to try and hold it stiff as well you can either use a
flathead screwdriver here or you can actually use the little tool that's
provided and twist this in and you should feel that tight in there make
sure you screw that until it's really tight and really secure obviously
because this has a rotating base as well at the bottom here just make sure it's
lined up for you to start off with in the correct area just over the screw
then what we're gonna do here is take out the panel and connect the panel ah
here is our back of armand it's a nice layout so what you've got on the left
hand side currently but we'll be on the right-hand side when
setup is your joystick control stick option there for going through your
menus and selecting different things then moving into your connection options
you have your power and then you have a dedicated on-and-off switch here which i
think is really nice to have to save energy and save electricity
you have hdmi one hdmi two a DisplayPort then also you have a headphone jack and
then you get to see your USB hub here so obviously this is your connection port
then you've got a fast charging port and then you've got a standard port and also
you do have a Kensington lock on the right hand side here but will be on the
left hand side when stood up so then in the middle here this is where you're
gonna connect your column and stand this monitor also offers a VESA mount
connection so if you want to remove the column and stand and have the VESA mount
you can do so to take your column and stand you didn't notice these two teeth
here at the top so these go in first and also you're going to notice a release
switch here this will release when locked in so if I put these two in first
then snap down give it a good push don't push it too hard
I've actually laying down on the desk as well make sure you do that if you don't
want to damage your monitor so that it's nice and secure in there now and we can
pull that up and then stand it up but just want to show you if you press that
release button comes out and then again you're free to do whatever you want to
do or so you're packing it for moving in in clip just make sure it's nice and
secure so now it's actually all locked into place what we're going to do stand
the monitor up flip it around and actually connect it out to my devices
and then we can go through some other key highlighting features and the one
thing I do want to show you is the three sided frameless design as you can see my
a OC monitor is all set up and ready to go so first of all I've used a display
port two thunderbolt connection to connect my macbook pro which is sitting
to the right hand side and then to the left hand side I've got an Xbox one X
that a useful casual gaming and that is connected up via HDMI but I still leaves
me another HDMI connection also I will add in the USB C hub cable as well into
my macbook pro now give me two extra ports for using one of my ports which is
really handy so with this monitor all set up and ready to go you want to
a bit more information as long as it offers great color accuracy and a wide
color gamut so your colors will look true and representative of what you're
actually looking at now looking forward to testing it out and seeing how well
that works also now it's all set up you can really see the three sided frameless
design here you've just got the one frame along the bottom which is housing
and LED light on the bottom right hand corner that lets you know you wanna sit
is on you've got a OC Brandon and then your Energy Star as well if you look
around the left the right and the top you'll notice that we don't have a frame
there at all it looks really nice you've just got this very thin black line
they'll see I can tweak that on my MacBook Pros well making sure it's
properly stretched out to every corner I like that cuz that makes me the user
really engulfed into what I'm actually watching is drawing me in it's making me
focus on my content or whatever I'm doing more than what it is actually are
the frames and getting distracted as I said it has an IPS panel looking forward
to using that and seeing how well that works with everything I do through
content creation through social media work through general emails writing
documents and then also casual gaming on a console level this monitor offers
integrated speakers and that's nice to have and I'm looking forward to seeing
what they offer also we put them through its paces during the review so a 27-inch
Professional 4k monitor with ergonomic stand and USB hub and talking about the
ergonomics time it does move in all different directions now getting delve
into that a lot more during the review so now our 27 inch 4k professional ones
that is all set up and ready to go it has a great ergonomic stand and I'm
going to put wireless charger right on the bottom there and I can use the cable
management option to feed my cable but my wireless chargers can sit on there
perfectly to charge all of my devices I'm looking forward to seeing how well
this monitor works with every aspect of what I just said what I do in my daily
life to see how well it coach and how well it works compared to other monitors
