The image is good, but lacks contrast on darker images and lacks a DCR. If you can get this for under $400, it is well worth the money. The volume is decent and works for a TV monitor if you decide to use this display with a DVD/Blu-Ray player, Cable box, or Game Console. They will provide decent sound, but are a little lacking on the bass and clarity. The speakers are roughly comparable to those of a ~30-inch TV. I tested the sound quality of the built-in speakers - a feature I didn't expect in a specialty monitor of this aspect and size - and was impressed with the sound quality. The monitor does not feature a DCR either, so if your game brightness changes don't count on the monitor to compensate. On darker screens, especially in-game (in my case, Skyrim in a cave/underground), the backlight tends to bleed through and give poor contrast unless you are viewing from a very narrow ideal vertical angle. The downside is that in a dimmer room it can be too bright and requires cutting the backlight severely to not hurt your eyes. The monitor has an awesome level of brightness. The monitor also features reader modes, which are great for reading text on blogs, forums, and other media such as word documents that have white backgrounds without hurting your eyes. The display uses a '6-color' balance, meaning you have RGB in hue (3-colors) and saturation (second 3-colors). The OSD-menu is intuitive and logical, as the montor uses a 5-button joystick for a power button and menu. The colors are vibrant and distinct, and contrast is good on first impression (I'll address this more later). The image quality and response rate is spot-on, and the overall first impression was 'WOW'. I ordered a Mini-DP to DP cable to connect the monitor to my primary card through the highest bandwidth connection possible and was not disappointed. The stand has dual height settings, however you have to adjust height by inscrewing the stand and re-mounting the monitor. Overall a good fit for multi-monitor setups.Īt first unpacking the monitor comes with an HDMI cable and power adapter. I wanted the larger screen, which in height is about 1/2" taller image size than my 21.5" viewable AOC's. I picked up this montior at a local retailer (not to be named) for $380. I run the monitor as a central display in a multi-montor or Eyefinity (depending on the application) setup, total resolution 6400x1080. I also use the rig for productivity and video and picture editing. My previous monitor setup was an Eyefinity 5760x1080 through triple AOC e2243Fwk 1080 displays. Overall Review: Background info: I am a moderate PC gamer with a top-end setup (AMD FX-9590, Asus Crosshair V-Z, Dual Radeon R9 270x Crossfired, 240GB SSD SATA-6, 32GB OC'd RAM, etc.). Reader modes (Great for forum/document viewing without hurting the eyes)īacklight bleed-through (unless at very specific vertical viewing angle) Input Connectivity (HDMIx2, DVI, DisplayPort) Sound quality (Comparable to a ~30-32 inch TV) Contrast / brightness (on moderate to bright sources for gaming)
