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.

Currently typing this on the previous VA model, I wish this was the model when I bought a year ago but its not enough to tempt me to sell and buy.
How can anyone sell a monitor without a VESA mount?
A 4K version for £299 would sell well imo.. maybe in the months to come.
I've got the previous model and I was very happy with it for £200. It's not going to break any performance records and the lack of vesa mounts is a bit odd (though I have no particular use for them, so no loss to me), but it's a great monitor for the price.
Looking for a monitor myself and I never thought it would be so difficult to find a 32in, 1440p, 120Hz+ panel that isn't curved.
