Immerse yourself in your computer's movies, graphics and games with this AOC I2757FH 27" widescreen flat-panel IPS LED HD monitor that features a 50,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and up to 250 cd/m² brightness to bring images to life.
I'm a graphic/web designer who uses Mac products, so I expect a lot from a monitor. I couldn't afford an Apple monitor, so I searched for something "as close as I could get" to one. I think I found it with this AOC 27" IPS monitor.
The whites are as neutral as I've ever seen on a non-Apple product (perhaps even equal to an Apple). The color balance is great, and the viewing angle is as good as advertised. I feel confident that if I had a client sitting next to me, we would both see the same thing on screen (I've had the monitor for only 4 weeks now, so it hasn't been tested with a real live client present yet). I also edit video a lot and my footage looks great on this screen.
Although it played no factor in my decision to buy, when I brought my son over to let him see my new computer set-up, he remarked on how cool the monitor looked, even before I turned it on. And now that I look at it again, I have to agree.
The only down side is the quality of the speakers, But really, who expects a monitor to have decent speakers? I have an external set that I've enjoyed for years, so this is a complete non-issue for me. I consider it a plus that it as speakers at all, in case I ever need to take it with me for a presentation.
Performance like this at this price point (under $300) is remarkable. I highly recommend this to any user, for professional or home use.
What's great about it: Excellent picture quality
What's not so great: The speakers, but who cares?
I would recommend this to a friend!
