Enjoy crystal-clear visuals at up to 1920 x 1080 resolution on this AOC I2269VW 21.5" IPS LED HD monitor that features a 50,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 250 cd/m² brightness and a 5 ms response time for sharp, detailed images.
I spent about 2 months hunting for the right monitor for me. I needed to purchase 3 monitors for a 4 monitor setup. I already own a Lenovo monitor but wanted some more of similar quality.
I bought a few Acers online for about 130 bucks a piece. Returned them because the image was horribly washed out. They were LED and were okay quality, but I couldn't even mount the Acers to a monitor stand.
The thing that attracted me to the AOC monitors was 1) they are mountable and 2) they are IPS. I went to Best Buy to see what they looked like in person. The day that I went they had a special for $60 bucks off when you buy two, so basically they were $120 a piece.
I really wanted some 24" monitors, but I couldn't justify paying an extra $80 per monitor to have an extra two inches of screen. The image quality for this display was just too good. It also has a very slim bezel which makes for a very attractive look when the monitors are turned off.
As far as the picture quality goes, I am quite taken aback. I think I paid around $170 for the Lenovo monitor I currently own a few years ago, but the picture on this monitor trumps the Lenovo by a wide margin. The 1920x1080 resolution combined with the LED IPS display makes for a remarkably crisp image. The darks are nice and bold while the light colors are sharp and drawn out. I watch a lot of Hulu and Netflix on my computer and I don't think you can get a better picture with a television. I should note that I have a mid-high end graphics card so this may contribute to my positive experience.
Overall, at $120 this deal cannot be beat. I am a stickler for value and these monitors are far better than the Acers that I returned. The only thing I regret about this purchase is not investing in a 6 display setup and instead deciding to stick with 3. The value at this price is just too good.
What's great about it: pretty much everything
What's not so great: wish they were 24" or 27", but still an amazing value for the money
