Display specialist AOC has introduced a new range of monitors specifically for demanding photographers, visual artists, designers, editors, TV creators and producers.
Color accuracy and hardware calibration
The Graphic Pro U3 series features amazing color accuracy with a color difference value of DeltaE < 2. This ensures that every color is accurately reproduced. With 98% DCI-P3 color space coverage, these displays also offer a wide color gamut that enables brilliant, vibrant visuals.
The highlight of the Graphic Pro U3 is the Calman Ready certification. This proves that the monitors are able to communicate directly with Portrait Displays' Calman color calibration software. Models can take advantage of automatic calibration (AutoCal) features with Calman software, allowing for easy, accurate and quick calibration of the monitor for precise color accuracy. This calibration allows control of the RGB triplet at the scale level and the creation of 1D/3D LUT profiles for optimal image performance. Compared to custom ICC profiles that only adjust the image, the advantage of the 1D/3D LUT (look-up table) solution is live display calibration at the hardware level, which dramatically improves color accuracy.
VARIETY OF CONNECTIONS: One cable is all you need.
Easy connectivity is essential in creative workflows that often use graphics tablets, card readers, fast external drives, and other peripherals. Therefore, the monitors in the “Graphic Pro U3” series are equipped with a wide range of connections to meet these requirements, including: HDMI 1.4/2.0, DisplayPort 1.4 and a versatile USB-C hub with an RJ-45 Ethernet input for a wired network (LAN). The hub is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen2 and offers a bandwidth of 10 Gb/s. It features a USB-C downstream port that supports DisplayPort Alt mode for display expansion, 96W Power Delivery, an Ethernet passthrough, a second USB-C downstream port with 15W Power Delivery, and four USB-A ports for using additional peripherals. Devices.
The U27U3CV and U32U3CV models also have a third USB-C downstream port for their KVM switch, allowing a keyboard and mouse connected to the USB hub to be swapped between different computers connected to the monitor's two USB-C ports at the same time, so it can switch back and forth.
The Q27U3CV also features a DisplayPort output and supports HBR3's high-bandwidth DisplayPort for multiple sequential displays.
