AOC U27V4EA 27″ 4K IPS Monitor Review

A Closer Look

This is a really minimalist monitor, and that’s something I really like about it. It’s almost all panel with a really minimal frame.

The bezel is really slim, and while this is a more affordable model (not to be confused with “cheap”), it certainly looks more premium due to this.

Of course, a slim design like this makes it well suited to multi-display setups. Given this size monitor and resolution would make an ideal second display, it’ll certainly add to the appeal.

There’s a slightly thicker edge at the bottom, but even that’s pretty slim compared to most other monitors.

There are some basic controls along the bottom, nothing fancy, but they’ll do just fine for the couple of times you need to tinker with the UI.

Around the back, it looks surprisingly slick and modern. The lines along the back look very stylish and if you did have this on an open desk setup, looking at the back of the monitor is hardly an eyesore. There’s a Kensington lock mount on one side and the ports on the other.

There’s a small recessed section here, allowing for all the usual ports. It’s not the most equipped I/O panel, but it’s got the basics.

I love how the stand bends and flows into the back of the monitor casing too; it’s a very clean way of mounting it.

As you can see, it’s not going to allow for height adjustment. However, there’s some wiggle room here. This allows you to tilt the monitor backwards a good amount.

As well as forward, but to a lesser degree.

At 27″ this is hardly a behemoth, but the advantage is that it only needs a small stand, which is unlikely to be a burden on your desktop space.
