My laptop with HDMI to DVI-D and bam these monitors have awesome display for the money. I bought two and have them as dual monitors on a dual arm base. They are light thin and perfect for me. They are basic no webcam no speakers but specs good. I'm very happy with these!

This monitor is easy to set up, has a clear picture and doesn't seem to have a lot of glare. My only disappointment is that you cannot adjust the height, so i have to set it on some stacked books. Other than that i would recommend the monitor.

Inexpensive IPS monitor

Some of our employees needed new monitors and I found these on sale at the local store. I purchased four of them because I have had good experience with AOC monitors in the past. The setup was no problem as expected and the screens look and work great. No issues at all. Time will tell about longevity.

Got two of them on a special deal for $89.99 each and I use them on my school PC. As a college student I spend hours a week in front of these babies writing papers and doing research, watching films and also playing the occasional game. These monitors are great!

Purchased this Monitor as a 2nd screen when I work from home. Good buy and was very surprised at the picture quality. the only thing is that I can't seem to remove the ARM for the stand. I have dual Mount and thats the only weird thing to this monitor. otherwise works fine. image is sharper than my main screen.

I have been working off my lap top for a year (Mac Book) and considering buying a desktop Mini Mac. So I got a monitor first. I guess I will not need a desktop now. Took it out of the box and plugged it into my laptop and that was it. I like it does not have a big border and the controls are easy to find. Great picture.

Pros:
- You are getting a lot of monitor for the money. This monitor is usually on sale for only $100. It is 1080p full HD! The picture quality is amazing (ONLY if DVI is used, please read below), the black levels are good, and the response time, being 5ms, is also surprisingly good considering it is an IPS. Since it is IPS the viewing angles are good as well. This monitor is also not overly bright and is easy on the eyes.
- Relatively small bezel/frame which blends in with the rest of the monitor, this is good if you have multiple monitors.
- Matte screen, no glare!
- Lots of menu options for tweaking.
- VESA mounting capable. My more expensive Acer monitor does NOT have the holes for wall mounting, and a lot of other cheaper monitors cannot be wall mounted either. The fact that this monitor has the option for wall mounting is a plus!
Cons (why I docked one star):
Bad picture when VGA is used. I tried 2 different VGA cables, each time I got static/noise in the picture with grainy text and the picture was not as vivid. I did NOT have this problem when using DVI.

This is the second one of these monitors I've purchased. They are a good monitor for a reasonable price and easy to set up/use. I put two of them together on a dual monitor stand, and they matched well in color and brightness.

Solid Monitor with a few disappointments
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This monitor was an excellent buy when I got it on sale. It's an IPS so the viewing angles are solid and the colors are accurate. I am not a big gamer so I can't attest to the response time; however it puts my 1080p hdtv to shame in most aspects.
I was disappointed after purchasing because of the misrepresentation made by the product image, but still bought another because for the price there wasn't anything better.
The biggest cons:
The display does not stretch to the edges of the monitor like the picture would lead you to believe. Not a negative for the product, but for Best Buy's display of the product.
The menu system has some extra features that are visible, but inaccessible. This indicates that the manufacturer took some shortcuts; hopefully this doesn't effect it's life span.

Great Budget Monitor

I have been very satisfied with my purchase of this monitor. I wanted an IPS monitor as I do a lot of video editing for work and wanted to be able to work from home when needed. So I did some research and found the price was exactly where I wanted it to be. On top of looking great for my video editing purposes I find that it looks with games as well. The two main games I have played were CS:GO and Overwatch and again the picture quality is great. If I had a larger desk I would definitely get a second monitor to accompany my first one.

Nice, but seems to have HDCP problems

I have had one of these for 2 years and have been happy. Great image quality for the price. I just bought a second, to use as a computer monitor but also as a TV (with a separate MediaSonic HDTV tuner). Setup: HDMI cable from the MediaSonic going into a HDMI-DVI adapter then to this monitor. All I get is "Input not support" on the screen. I tried the exact same hook up with the same equipment on my son's Acer H236HL. No problems, either attaching to the Acer's DVI port, or to the HDMI port without the adapter. For non-protected content (like the image from your computer) this monitor works fine, but even though it claims to have HDCP support via the DVI port, it doesn't seem to actually work.

Excellent Monitor At The Right Price

Even though I have purchased an LG IPS monitor from Best Buy (see my review on the LG 22EA53T-P) , in the end, I returned it for this monitor.
For one, it's cheaper. Purchased it @ $120. The LG IPS was purchased for $150. To me, I would prefer to keep the $30 in my pocket.
The colors are just as beautiful as the LG IPS, refresh rate is good with no lag playing games with my brand new GTX 780.
The bezel is nice and slim on the left and right hand side.
While AOC is not a well-known company, it does not mean that their gear is low quality. This monitor is a perfect example. Highly recommended monitor!
