AOC and Porsche Partner in Bringing Two Porsche Design Monitors to Market
AOC has partnered with Studio F.A. Porsche to bring a duo of monitors to market, bridging the gap between AOC's expertise and Porsche's design capabilities. The partnership has resulted in two monitors: the U32U1, which features a large, 31.5" diagonal, and the Q27T1, which sees a smaller 27" footprint. The change in size brings a change in resolution as well, with the U32U1 featuring a 4K resolution, while its 27" sibling does with a QHD resolution (2560 x 1440). Both monitors carry an IPS panel with 90% DCI-P3 coverage, but the U32U1 offers HDR 600 certification and HDR 10 support on its 10-bit panel. The Q27T1 shaves all of that in favor of an anti-glare coating.
Design-wise, both monitors are elegant, with the U32U1's tri-tubed stand coming in with a light aesthetic. The Q27T1 also offers a bold, yet subdued, design, swapping the cylindrical features of its bigger sibling for a uniquely angular stand. Connector-wise, the U32U1 offers HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort, and a USB 3.0 HUB with USB 3.1 support, while the Q27T1 keeps its offerings to a minimum and only carries 2x HDMI ports and 1x DisplayPort. Pricing for the Q27T1 starts at a pleasant £269, especially if design is important to you, but expect to part with a lot more money for its much more impressive 32" sibling when it's available later this year.

As rediculus as redesigning an AvtoVAZ Lada car with Porsche design.
Minimum should have been 75Hz on 4K and 100Hz on 1440p
I defenetly DO NOT feel the need to buy one of these underwhelming monitors.
I particullary like the rears, althought -even Porsche cannot think beyond the usual- still not ergonomics friendly, still very unhandy to work on the cables without putting the monitor upside down.
(the VAZ-2108 had heads designed in cooperation with Porsche Engineering)
feels like monitors are not moving forward at all.
amirite guise?
So, no, urnotrite. :p
Today I had to do something on a good IPS monitor and I´m so used to TN that I was shocked at the freaking blur just by scrolling down on a web page. Idk how people can overrate IPS so much.
I hate curved monitors although I have a big 136" projector screen that is 21:9 and curved working with anamorphic lenses that makes sense in correcting barrel distortion and light uniformity. It's a physics thing....
For small screens it's a gimmick taken from cinema (front projection) and for any serious CAD/Design work is atrocious.
Your point totally valid. At such short distance, there is no need. The next step is VR then.
But I'm guessing office-types would be okay with it.
