Went from a $460 Samsung IPS monitor with all the bell and whistles (height adjustment, swivel, 7 presets, very accurate color, state of the art but it died due to capacitors that melt over time) to this AOC 23" that cost just $119 on sale. The AOC has six presets, is fully and easily mobile and is fully visible from the sides for an office situation. Absolutely finest, clear text at all presets but the text preset is the best I've ever seen (spent last 20 years with desktop business IBM and Dells on my desk). Used DVD software to calibrate and found the monitor virtually dead on with color, gamma, contrast and brightness. Superior BLACK LEVELS that make colors "pop" with awesome streaming Netflix and Hulu Plus results. Only tweaks necessary(?) was a touch of sharpness and digital brilliance...just to where they were activated and no more. I give it 5 stars overall and a 7 in value. Its lightweight, moves easily (carefully) and blows away the aforementioned Samsung that cost nearly 4 X more. Best TN panel I've seen and better than most IPS under $300. May order another for more video real estate for the laptop. Awesome performer. Top shelf. Software disc includes mouse selected on-screen adjustments, energy saving selections, and screen sectioning software. This monitor is LOADED with valuable features. HDMI can be obtained easily with simple and cheap HDMI to DVI plug in converter. 3 year AOC warranty. No dead or frozen pixels at any color, black or white.
