Conclusion
...significant colour enhancements, including wider coverage, improved uniformity and vastly superior out-the-box accuracy.AOC has improved on last year's Q3279VWFD by introducing a refreshed model equipped with an IPS panel.
Now going by the name of Q3279VWFD8, this 31.5in successor touts significant colour enhancements, including wider coverage, improved uniformity and vastly superior out-the-box accuracy.
There are still caveats to consider - brightness is middling, the stand isn't the most versatile, and there's no USB hub nor built-in speakers - yet at £200, we can think of no better solution for those seeking a bigger PC display.
Bottom line: still rocking that 24in 1080p panel you bought years ago? AOC's Q3279VWFD8 is a meaningful upgrade that won't break the bank.
