Compare the AOC 24P1, Q24P2Q, and U2790PQU

When you don't have a large desk, a 24-inch screen is large enough. When you're working on a school project, for example. You have enough space for 2 windows next to each other, like Microsoft Word and your internet browser. The 24P1 has a disadvantage. The monitor base is very large, so it doesn't fit on every desk. Make sure there's enough room and place the monitor in the center for the best setup.

Just like the 24P1, the Q24P2Q has a 24-inch screen. You can open a spreadsheet and text document next to each other, for example. Or get started with amateur photo editing. The advantage the Q24P2Q has over the 24P1, is the smaller monitor base. It takes up less space, so you don't need an extra large desk.

With the 27-inch screen of the U2790PQU, you benefit from a lot of screen space. You have a larger overview and more space to open windows next to each other. For example, when you edit a file in Adobe InDesign and you want to keep your text next to it in Word. The U2790PQU has the same monitor base as the 24P1, so make sure you have enough room on your desk.

The Full HD resolution of the 24P1 makes the monitor suitable for all your school work and business work. Think about typing reports and preparing presentations. A nice addition is the 100% coverage of the sRGB color space. You experience sharp and realistic colors this way, which makes the screen suitable for amateur photo editing.

Thanks to the QHD resolution of the Q24P2Q, you experience images twice as sharp as in Full HD. Colors are more vibrant and details are displayed sharper. The QHD resolution has another advantage. Because you have more pixels, you also have more screen space. That's because the text and icons become smaller when the number of pixels increases. That way, you can open even more windows next to each other and it's even easier to multitask.

With a 4K resolution, the U2790PQU has the sharpest images in terms of resolution. You experience the images twice as sharp as in QHD and 4 times sharper than in Full HD. This makes the U2790PQU suitable for both photo and video editing. You zoom in on details without losing much quality. 4K offers the same advantage as QHD. You have more pixels at your disposal, so you can open more windows or tabs next to each other.

Most laptops and desktops have one or more HDMI ports. It's still the most common connector, which makes the 24P1 suitable for every situation. Do you have an older computer without HDMI? No worries, you can use the VGA port. Because the 24P1 doesn't have a DisplayPort, this monitor isn't suitable for daisy chaining.

With an HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA port, it doesn't matter if you have an old or new desktop or laptop. With the Q24P2Q, you have the option to use one of the 3. That way, you keep other ports open for accessories like a projector. Thanks to the DisplayPort connector, the Q24P2Q is suitable for daisy chaining. That way, you easily connect a second screen directly to a second monitor and easily expand your screen space.

The U2790PQU has 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort port. For the best 4K display, you use the HDMI 2.0 port or the DisplayPort 1.2 port. Just like the Q24P2Q, the U2790PQU is suitable for daisy chaining via the DisplayPort port. Connect the screen to a 24-inch monitor, for example. That way, you can use the U2790PQU as the most important screen and the other as your image library while you edit photos.

A bright screen ensures clear visibility and comfort. With a brightness of 250 nits, the 24P1 falls just short of this. Ambient light has a large effect on the visibility of the screen, like sunlight when you sit close to a window. Or when you work on a presentation until late. Due to the 250-nit brightness, the screen isn't as clearly visible in brightly-lit and dark rooms.

Just like the 24P1, the Q24P2Q has a brightness of 250 nits. With this one, you experience the same disadvantages with ambient light or in a darker room. The advantage is that both monitors adapt to this with the adjustablility. When you're bothered by sunlight, you can tilt the screen. That way, you prevent reflections on your monitor during the day. In darker rooms, it's best to work with the lights on.

The screen of the U2790PQU is always clearly visible with its 350-nit brightness, even in bright or dark rooms. A higher brightness also ensures a better color representation. In combination with the 4K resolution, you can do more detailed work. This makes the U2790PQU suitable for professional photo and video editing.
