In terms of the design, if you saw my review of AOC's AG276QZD – a 1440p/240Hz WOLED panel – then you will be instantly familiar with what AOC is doing for the AG276UZD, as very little appears to have changed. The front is conventional with a three-sided frameless design, while the back is made from black plastic. The stand attaches in the middle of an asymmetrical area which is surrounded by RGB LEDs, as you can see below.
The asymmetry also continues to the base of the stand, which is made from metal. I've seen some negative reaction to this design in the past – I'm personally indifferent to it, but I am glad it's a very compact foot overall, measuring about 26cm at its widest point.
Here we can see the LED lighting in action. It's fine overall but not super bright, and certainly doesn't come close to rivalling Philips Ambiglow in terms of the overall effect.
The stand does offer the full array of ergonomic adjustments too, including up to 130mm height adjustment, 18.5 degrees of swivel both left and right, tilt from -3.5 to 21.5 degrees, alongside 90 degree pivot functionality. Third party VESA 100×100 brackets are also supported via the included adapter plate.
As for the ports and connectors, AOC offers 2x HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 2.1 inputs, the latter offering the full UHBR20 bandwidth which is good to see. There's also 1x Type-C port that supports DP-Alt mode and up to 65W power delivery, alongside a Type-B upstream that feeds 2x Type-A downstreams, plus a headphone jack.
Lastly, a small joystick is positioned on the right hand edge to control the OSD.
