AOC 27V5C and Q27V5C USB-C monitors for the home office announced

With the V5 home office ideas series, display specialist AOC is launching slim all-around monitors that fit perfectly into the home office. The AOC 27V5C offers a Full HD 27-inch IPS panel, while the AOC Q27V5C offers QHD resolution on the same 27-inch IPS panel.

The brand new USB-C monitors of the AOC V5 display series present themselves elegantly in a 3-sided borderless slim-line look, both offering an integrated 4-port USB 3.2 hub, and a USB-C port with 65 Watt Power Delivery (PD) that powers devices such as laptops, DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4.

Both new home office ideas series monitors can swivel, tilt, rotate 90 degrees (pivot) and adjust the height by 130 millimeters. The AOC 27V5C has an IPS panel with 27 inches on board, which deliver a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The AOC Q27V5C creates QHD (2,560 x 1,440 pixels), and 27-inch IPS. As a refresh rate, all new AOC V5 monitors support up to 75 Hz.

The brand-new V5 USB-C displays from AOC are not proven fast gaming monitors, but thanks to a GtG response time of 4 milliseconds and support for AMD FreeSync, they are suitable for the occasional after-work gaming session. The features of the newly launched and functional USB-C monitor series from AOC are rounded off with integrated speakers (2x 3 watts, and a headphone jack (3.5 mm).
