Display specialist AOC proudly presents the U27B3CF, a 27" (68.6 cm) 4K monitor that combines stunning visuals with easy-to-use USB-C connectivity. Designed for home users, flexible professionals and creatives who demand both quality and functionality, this monitor sets a new standard for workplace efficiency.

Unmatched clarity and modern connectivity
Featuring a 27" IPS panel with 4K UHD resolution (3840x2160), the AOC U27B3CF delivers crisp, lifelike images with a 163 PPI density - perfect for professionals who value both screen real estate and image quality. This combination allows users to view multiple documents, spreadsheets or applications side-by-side with crisp text and vivid visuals. For creative professionals, the high pixel density enables precise work in photo editing and graphic design, making the most of every inch of screen space.





The 10-bit colour depth (8-bit + FRC) and 1.07 billion colours ensure smooth colour gradients, while HDR10 compliance brings content to life with enhanced contrast and brightness. With a peak brightness of 350 nits, this monitor provides vibrant visuals even in well-lit home and office environments.

At the heart of this monitor's appeal is its USB-C port with 65 W USB Power Delivery, allowing users to connect and charge laptops with a single cable. This feature, combined with two additional USB 3.2 ports, transforms the U27B3CF into a hub for peripherals such as a keyboard and mouse, streamlining desk setups. The monitor also offers two HDMI 2.0 ports, providing versatile connectivity options for multiple devices.

Enhanced comfort and versatility
Aimed primarily at home and office users, the U27B3CF boasts Adaptive-Sync technology for variable refresh rates and a 4 ms GtG response time for smooth, tear-free visuals for both work and occasional casual gaming. The ergonomic stand offers 110 mm of height adjustment and -5/20° tilt for comfort during long sessions. For users who prefer alternative mounting solutions such as monitor arms or wall mounts, the monitor is compatible with 100x100 mm VESA mounts.

The U27B3CF's 3-sided frameless design not only provides a sleek, modern look but also minimises distractions, especially in multi-monitor setups. Two built-in 2 W speakers provide decent audio performance for everyday use, reducing the need for external speakers in many scenarios, such as video calls. The monitor incorporates LowBlue mode and Flicker-Free technology to reduce eye strain and fatigue during extended periods of use, ensuring that users can work or enjoy entertainment comfortably for hours on end.

Expanding the B3 Series
The U27B3CF is the latest addition to AOC's versatile B3 Series, designed to meet the diverse needs of home and business users. This series now offers a comprehensive range of options, from Full HD to 4K resolutions, in a variety of sizes and feature sets. The line-up includes the recently launched Q27B3CF2, a 27" QHD monitor with USB-C connectivity and a 100 Hz refresh rate, catering to users who prioritise smooth visuals. For those seeking affordable 4K options, the 27" U27B3A and U27B3AF offer UHD resolution with 60 Hz refresh rates, the latter with a height-adjustable stand. The introduction of the 27" U27B3CF combines multiple of these features, matching 4K resolution with a USB-C input and 65 W Power Delivery, providing users with a powerful, all-in-one solution for modern, hybrid workspaces. This diverse range ensures that whether users need basic functionality or advanced features, there's a B3 Series monitor to suit their specific needs and budget.

Pricing and availability
The AOC U27B3CF monitor offers exceptional clarity, vibrant colours, and advanced connectivity features that enhance both productivity and entertainment. It will be available from July 2024 at an attractive MSRP of £249.99.

Shouldn't be able to call 8 bit + FRC 10 bit, should clearly label it as fake 10 bit.

What's sad is that 10bit is so rare whenever we see it we know almost instantly that it's 8+FRC even if the manufacturer is not particularly honest about mentioning FRC.

The monitor market is very boring and stale
