AOC this week introduced its first entry-level 4K gaming display. The G2868PQU monitor boasts with numerous firmware-based features designed for gaming, as well as a 1 ms response time. The monitor also supports AMD’s FreeSync technology, though this isn't being paired with any kind of high refresh rate ranges.

The AOC G2868PQU is a 28-inch LCD that uses a ‘next-generation HDR-Ready' TN panel. The monitor features a 3840×2160 resolution, 300 nits maximum brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, a 1 ms response time, and a 60 Hz maximum refresh rate. The display has a scaler than supports AMD’s FreeSync dynamic refresh rate technology, but the manufacturer does not disclose its range or whether it's wide enough to supports Low Framerate Compensation.

Although AOC claims that the monitor is ‘HDR-ready’, it never specifies whether the monitor supports HDR10 or other HDR transport formats. In any case, an LCD panel featuring a maximum brightness of 300 nits can hardly offer a good HDR experience. Meanwhile, the display can cover 102% of the sRGB and 82% of the AdobeRGB color spaces.
