AOC 28” 4K Monitor U28P2U | Unboxing & Initial Thoughts

[@CharlesDuante]

Just a quick note about the HDR mode on this monitor. This is from their website: (Through a combination of advanced algorithmic functions, the HDR Mode essentially transforms non-HDR content into HDR-like visuals via 3 different modes. By enhancing RGBCMY color for more vivid images (via improved saturation and range), increasing dynamic contrast for clarity and image sharpness, the HDR mode ensures you.) This is not a true HDR monitor. It just mimics the feel of it, or like most cheap, entry-level monitors, they just slap the HDR marketing carelessly. Also, at this price point, you can’t really expect for it to be HDR certified. Stay safe, everyone!

[@MichaelMerc]

Does it mean it doesn't really have HDR10? It just mimics it?

Yes, you’re right.

I heard that you could download ICC profiles for specific monitors but I'm not sure with the U28P2U cause it's relatively an unpopular monitor. Does the LG monitor come out of the box calibrated? Do you not need to calibrate it to get accurate colors? Although I'm willing to spend more for the 27UL850-W, I just can't shake the significant price difference between the two. I'd be thrilled tbh if I could save ~10k pesos if the U28P2U proves itself to be a great alternative. Plus, the larger screen would be very much welcome. 😅

[@CharlesDuante]

Hi, I agree with Mado. I’d definitely go with LG if it fits your budget. Base on my research, it has great colors out of the box. Plus, it also connects via USB-C. Lastly, they are a well known brand so you won’t have any trouble getting support for it. I was eyeing for the LG but the AOC works great for what its worth! 😸

[@CharlesDuante]

Hi, I have had no issues with this monitor so far. The display is great! Since this is a 4K monitor, you can scale it to mimic a lower resolution with a higher DPI which means you'll get sharper texts and images. I initially planned on getting the Samsung UR55 just because of its brand, but being the back of it is curved, I can't mount my USB hub onto it. Then I opted to get this instead. I've heard about AOC before, and I think it's okay, but we'll have to see if it lasts. The extra functionalities it has over the Samsung UR55 made me choose this 4K monitor from AOC. 😸

I'm not sure if it's faulty on my end or what but it seems like fast charging is not working on my end. :( Aside from your phone, were you able to fast charge other devices as well? (Assuming they support fast charge) My phone is not showing fast charging when I plug it in. Also using an app I was able to determine that all of the 4 ports are giving me the same amount of power.

Hi Charles! Are the fonts displayed smooth like the ones in Macbooks? There were some hi-res monitors that have blurry fonts despite maximum font smoothing on the macbook settings.

[@CharlesDuante]

Hi! I think that the texts and images displayed on the Retina MacBooks are way smoother and better is because they have a higher ppi. Compared to the Retina MacBooks that have at least 220 ppi, this 27inch 4K monitor from AOC has 157ppi. You can scale down the display settings on the 4K monitor to 1440p or for much sharper text and images, scale it to 1080p. That way it mimics the Retina display on the Macs. Because the more pixels packed in a smaller screen, the sharper and clearer the image/text gets. Hope this helps!

Hi. Thanks for the unboxing and the quick overview. I recently got the same monitor and I have observed 2 quirks that I'd like to check with you and other U28P2U users: (1) When using PIP/PBP, it doesn't allow me to choose both HDMIs for the main and sub source. Has any one had any luck with this or is this setup really impossible? Does it only support DP + HDMI? (2) Only HDMI2 appears to support wake from sleep @ 60Hz refresh rate. When my laptop is connected to HDMI1 and powers back up from sleep, the monitor doesn't automatically detect the signal if refresh rate is set to 60Hz. I'd have to manually turn on the monitor again / select the input for the signal to be detected. Another route is to reduce the source refresh rate to 30Hz for the wake from sleep to function. Is this normal? Anyone had the same experience? Thanks in advance for any insights.

Have you tried using the PIP/PBP with HDMI 1 and 2 as main and subsource? I assumed that it was possible as other monitors with multiple HDMIs with PIP/PBP permitted this. Unfortunately, the AOC manual does not contain any info re: input/port compatibility for PIP/PBP so this one is hard to verify and I'd have to rely on the account of other users.
