AOC 24V5CW, Q27V5CW and CU34V5CW: New USB-C monitors

With the AOC 24V5CW, Q27V5CW and CU34V5CW, the manufacturer has officially unveiled three new USB-C monitors in its V5 series. After announcing the series about a month ago, the three new models add USB-C connectivity and an integrated Windows Hello webcam to the lineup.

AOC 24V5CW 24-inch monitor

The smallest of the three new AOC monitors goes by the name AOC 24V5CW. It relies on a screen diagonal of 24 inches, or 23.8 inches to be exact, and is equipped with an IPS panel that resolves in Full HD at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The refresh rate is 75 hertz.

Like all new models, it offers a webcam with a resolution of 2 megapixels including privacy shutter, which also supports facial recognition via Windows Hello. In addition, there are two 5-watt speakers and a USB-C port with 65 watts of PowerDelivery to charge connected devices like notebooks or smartphones.

The design is frameless on three sides, and the stand is particularly slim. The gray-to-grey response time is 4 milliseconds, while Freesync is supported as the synchronization technology. In addition, the AOC 24V5CW covers 118 percent of the sRGB color space and 94 percent of the DCI-P3 color space. The monitor can also be adjusted in height, tilt and swivel, and there is also a pivot function

AOC Q27V5CW: 27-inch monitor

The AOC Q27V5CW turns out to be somewhat larger. It also relies on a matte IPS panel, which is 27 inches in size for it and resolves in QHD with 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and gets a maximum brightness of 300 nits. Response time (4 MS GtG) and refresh rate (75 Hz) are identical.

The Windows Hello webcam and USB-C connectivity are also the same, but there are only two 3-watt speakers here. In return, the sRGB color space is covered by 123 percent, whereas DCI-P3 is covered by 98 percent. The ergonomics options are also the same: The 27 incher can be adjusted in height, tilted and swiveled, and the pivot function is also available here.

AOC CU34V5CW: Curved ultrawide monitor

The third in the bunch is the larger AOC CU34V5CW. It relies on a curved VA panel with a curvature of 1500R and a UWQHD resolution of 3,440 x 1,440 pixels including FreeSync. Thanks to the panel technology, it offers a higher contrast ratio of 3000:1 and even a refresh rate of up to 100 Hz.

Again, of course, the webcam is integrated right away, as is a USB-C port with 65 watts of PowerDelivery, while the response time is also 4 ms GtG. AMD FreeSync is also part of the package. In return, the Ultrawide monitor is only height-adjustable, but it offers a Picture-by-Picture mode for displaying content from multiple image sources.

Prices and availability

The three new AOC monitors are available in stores now. The AOC 24V5CW is priced at an MSRP of €319, the Q27V5CW is priced at €429, and the AOC CU34V5CW is priced at €609.
