What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I'd been using an older 23" 60hz AOC monitor for around ten years and always been happy with it, so decided to stick with AOC when ordering a larger one. So far I'm very happy with it. The image quality from the IPS screen, while obviouly not up there with OLED level units, is still superb and a pleasure to use, I didn't need to make any adjustments to get things looking natural and there is little to no light bleed commonly associated with IPS screens. The menu system, both built into the monitor or using the optional G-Menu software, is straightforward with plenty of options for those who need them.With two HDMI and one DP connection offering plenty of inputs, unless you need a VGA input, this has allowed me to connect my two PCs and a PS5 without having to fiddle around swapping cables, and switching between them using the buttons underneath the screen is quick and easy.Design wise, it looks good as monitors go, and feels solid - as does the excellent height and rotate adjustable stand, unlike the rather wobbly base that came with my old model. Definitely an upgrade I'm glad to have made and the price during the sale seems a bargain.”
Verified purchase“it is definitely worth the money the quality is amazing. the graphics are really good and you can change the picture quality to the console your using. i’m using a ps5 and the settings on the monitor and the ps5 match perfect.”
