The one I bought was the worst screen I've ever bought as it would randomly switch off and you had to unplug the power cord and leave it for 30-60 seconds so the LED would go out, then you could plug it back in and the screen would work. It would for no reason make loud popping static noises through the speakers and there was a black line with green dots going down the right hand side.
I sent it in to AOC for repair, they updated the firmware and they said it was fine. Well, same problem.
I even changed my graphics card, same problem.
A friend of mine got one too, same problem.
I've seen several people posting online with the same issues.
I'll have to admit it was nice having a 4K screen, but with all these problems, I'd never get AOC again. As this is the "cheaper" model, I'm scared to read the reviews of it.
I normally don't complain about companies like this, but it simply was a terrible product.
Went with a Dell U2515H in the end and couldn't be happier, even though it's not 4K.
