Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've purchased 3 of these monitors in the past 9 months. One for my business, one for wife (personal use) and one for a client. This monitor includes speakers and has HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs. A excellent monitor for the price and an unbelievable value when on sale.

What I really like about this computer is that the colors just pop and its so clear, I do graphics and they look so clean looking in this monitor. AOC is great product.

I wanted to install dual monitors with my home desktop PC. In order to purchase another monitor to match my existing one, I would have had to pay almost double what I paid for the two AOC monitors. The resolution and speed are perfect for my needs (graphic arts, photo editing, etc.)

i purchased my 1st 27" AOC in 2014 and decided to get another in 2015! Love my dual setup! AOC def the best bang for your buck! Great quality!

Based on the price of this monitor, I was skeptical on the quality. The 20,000,000:1 contrast ratio was good, but I had seen better on cheaper monitors. However, as soon as I set this thing up, I was blown away. The 27 inches turned out to be far bigger than imagined, the contrast ratio was more than I would ever need, the thing was extremely fast (It has a 2ms response time!) the screen was super thin, and the design was stunning. Additionally, it came with built in speakers! In other reviews, people said the speakers were not very high quality, however I beg to differ! The sound is very crisp and clear, not to mention the fact that it has good volume to it, and can be turned up fairly loud. Additionally, here are some set up tips. When the box is first received, it says that it is "Windows 7 compatible", but don't worry, it works completely fine with windows 8 and 8.1 as well. Make sure to keep the box close when setting up the monitor, as the instructions are printed on the outside of the box. (I found that a little odd, but it wasn't really an inconvenience) Next, the monitor comes with an audio cable and a VGA cable. I DO NOT recommend using those cables, as VGA isn't very fast, and the audio cable has to be plugged into the headphone jack since VGA doesn't have in-line audio, hence making it extremely difficult to switch between speakers and headphones. I would definitely recommend using an HDMI cable, as it has better picture quality than VGA AND has sound in-line as well. I got an HDMI cable from this very website (bestbuy.com if that was hard to figure out :P) for only $5. Last but not least, the monitor comes with a disc too. On the instructions, it makes it look like the computer needs the disk software in order to run, but don't worry, as that isn't the case. All the disk comes with is a PDF of the users manual, an some optional drivers. (For some reason I wasn't able to install the drivers, so it's a good thing the monitor works fine without them.) Overall, terrific monitor! Don't hesitate to buy it!

Product is great for the buck. No regrets. Am a happy camper!

I've had the monitor about a week now, so far I love it. I only use it on my gaming rig. OTB it will take some time to dial in the settings, which I'm still working on. Colors are are crisp and accurate to specs however, could be a little brighter. Again I use this only for gaming mainly 3rd person and FPS, no blur or streaking. For example, I play warframe on the highest settings and COD on medium-high. Pros: Contrast ration fast response time- no blur 2ms great price- on sale for $169 size-no need for dual monitors Cons: settings software (cd) not helpful better to adjust yourself base- kind of the standard plastic base you see on most Samsung it doesn't wobble but it doesn't feel very sturdy on my desk for example, I'f my desk were bumped into with a medium amount of force I'd be nervous as it seems a bit top heavy. buttons- located on the bottom of the bezel which made it difficult to adjust and pretty stiff.

After many reviews from Best Buy and Amazon, I decided to go with this monitor because of the 27 inch screen size, which from what I have read is the lowest size for a solid gaming monitor; the low ms rate, which is essential; and just from the reviews themselves, and this monitor has not let me down in the slightest. I use this mainly for League of Legends, and I can already see a big difference in gameplay. The larger screensize, combined with its low ms rate and its excellent resolution, has been a huge help. I also use it occasionally for X-Box One and all the games look wonderful on it. There are speakers on the monitor, so that's a plus, and they work great. Absolutely no complaints there. It's just a solid gaming monitor and I love it.

I would recommend this to all. The price, size and clearness are all wonderful. Very easy to install and set up. It was a very good buy

I have only had this monitor for three months. It was easy to set up. I have Windows 7 and the monitor started right up after hooking up. It is working fine at this time. Love the wide screen & it was on sale. Con: It has built in speakers that sound cheap but I have other speakers that I was using because old monitor did not have speaker..

I love this monitor so much I bought two. What I like about it is that it has an HDMI and a DVI input & the picture quality is excellent. For the money, you can't beat this monitor! However, I would highly recommend AGAINST using the onboard speakers because they are terrible.

For the price this is a good monitor. Here are some things I learned from set up. The Imenu software works. Even though you pick English for install it will come up in Chinese or something. Click one time then one more time on the globe/gear tab in the imenu software. Then you can set English language from the pull down menu -program language. Another tip using the Imenu software. Click on bright frame tab ( box with a smaller box in the corner ) and use these settings brightness 24 contrast 36 frame size 100 and you'll have a vibrant picture. What worked the best for me was using NVidia control panel settings as the set up I was able to get a really nice picture better than using Imenu or the set up buttons on the monitor. Happy with my purchase.

Excellent value. Bright, crisp and clear display even at the highest resolution. Contrary to the specifications listed on bestbuy.com site, there are also (1) HDMI and (1) DVI video inputs along with the (1) VGA input. This is my second purchase of the exact same model. I also recommend this monitor to clients looking for 27" displays.

I am enjoying the AOC 27" monitor. I specifically like the feature of the monitor that includes both HDMI and traditional multi-pin connectors to the computer. This flexibility is positive. I am pleased with the picture and had zero pixel problems. The one negative point has nothing to do with the actual product; more with the AOC website/CD that comes with the product. Had a devil of a time trying to dowload and install the drivers for the monitor. Initially was using just the Generic PDP driver that comes with my laptop. Eventually was able to install the driver but it was a struggle. Contacting AOC customer service was/is the typical nightmare and I just gave up. The warranty of 3 years for parts and labor and 1 year for the LCD panel seems to be acceptable.

Purchased this monitor because I work from home and as I'm getting older it's getting harder to see. Love the screen size, resolution options and ease of set up.

Nice large screen, beautiful color, nice resolution and easy to set up . The only thing is the speakers that are built in are not the best but they are sufficient. I had a spare set of speakers that I used in place of the built in ones. Overall nice monitor

Purchased this to go with a new Windows 10 system for my wife. Resolution is good (HD, 1920x1080), color is good. Side by side with my 7-year-old Dell 1920x1200 monitor, it was not as bright, until I discovered "Picture Boost" in the control menus. This feature is not well explained, but seems to allow a rectangular portion of the screen to be boosted to be brighter or higher in contrast, and the rectangle can be expanded to the entire screen. Perhaps meant for PIP? Also, when completely "black", it isn't -- more like a charcoal grey. The control buttons are on the bottom edge of the screen, and it is impossible to see an labels. I ended up making up a label strip and taping it to the bottom border just above the control buttons. These are fairly minor complaints. After about a month of use, the monitor has served well. I appreciate the built-in speakers which, though hardly high fidelity, avoids the expense and clutter of external speakers. And the sound is much better than that on a tablet and small laptop that I also own.

I wasn't sure what to expect, buying a brand I'd never heard of before, but the prior reviews convinced me to give this a try. The monitor is everything the reviewers said it is...great picture, easy to install (seriously..just plug it in and go). I finally have a nice big screen to work on when I run my business at home, rather than squinting at a small laptop or tablet screen. Great product at a great price.

Very happy with these three that I purchased For gaming.I do racing simulation on iracing These works great The color and the 2 ms response time is excellent For gaming or just regular computer use. When they are on sale which they often do For 199 They're an excellent purchase for 27 inch monitor And with them having a DVI and the HDMI connection you can't beat it for the price For the quality product that you get

THE RESOLUTION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, USING THIS DISPLAY WITH AUTOCAD IS NOT VERY TIREING FOR MY EYES. I USE IT FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS SOMETIMES. FOR THE PRICE IT WAS EXCELLENT PURCHASE. I RECOMEND THE SIZE TO AUTOCAD USERS THAT SPEND TO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER.
