Value at a cost of quality This is an ok display luckily I only use it for a third rig which I don’t hardly use but yeah the screen is nice and bright and is ok but viewing angles are awful that said for the price you cannot moan! I also bought this as I needed VGA so I can still boot up older systems other than that I would avoid if you want to daily drive a monitor as this will do your head in! The controls are just stupid and irritating and the monitor is so light when you press the button for the menu the whole thing tilts just annoying as hell.
Great scree Bought this for my home office as a second screen to work on from home.
Easy to set up and great picture quality.
I dont use it for gaming so can’t comment on that.
No prpblems, just plugged it in and it worked. Bought two smaller dearer monitosr which were both faulty. This monitor was 10 cheaper but a bigger screen and quaility excellent. For a general purpose office monitor is great.
Save Your Eyes and Wallet: Why You Should Think Twice? The AOC E2270SWHN – 22 Inch FHD Monitor, 60Hz is a budget-friendly option for those who are looking for a basic monitor. However, it has several significant drawbacks that make it less than ideal for many users.
First and foremost, the image quality of this monitor is subpar. The colours are washed out and inaccurate AF and lack vibrancy, and the contrast are poor. The screen is also prone to glare, which can be distracting and make it difficult to see the content on the screen.
The 60Hz refresh rate is also disappointing, as it results in noticeable lag and stuttering when viewing fast-moving content such as videos or games. This can be particularly frustrating for gamers or those who use their monitor for multimedia purposes.
Another issue with the AOC E2270SWHN is its build quality. The plastic frame and stand feel flimsy and cheap, and there is no option for adjusting the height or tilt of the monitor. Additionally, the monitor has limited connectivity options, with only a VGA and HDMI port available.
Overall, while the AOC E2270SWHN – 22 Inch FHD Monitor, 60Hz may be a budget-friendly option, its poor image quality, low refresh rate, and flimsy build quality make it difficult to recommend. Users who are looking for a monitor with better performance and features may want to consider investing in a higher-end model.
Great little screen for it's price I don’t game, but I work from home and have multiple screens with multiple applications. This is a great third little screen for running applications/netflix/youtube in the back ground. Really pleased with the quality vs the price.
Bargain! I was fortunate enough to buy this monitor when it was on offer at a reduced price. For general use it is excellent. I had to give a rating for gaming but in truth that remains untested. The software utilities with the monitor appear to be 32-bit so aren’t much use with a 64-bit system although the driver works. The fact is that any adjustments to the picture quality can be easily made using the one button interface at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Downside – It is a shame that the manufacturer felt the need to save a couple of pence by supplying a power lead that would not reach the floor from the top of my desk!
great replaceme broke my old monitor in a vr accident so needed a cheap replacement and this did the trick, great monitor besides a dead pixel after 3 months of use but that does not bother me
Would be perfect if cord was longe I have purchased a few of these as the quality is good. However, I would have given 5 stars if the power cable was longer. It is a shame that it is so short, so when fitting it on our desks, we needed an extension cord to be able to plug it in as it was so short. The end of the power cable doesn’t even touch the floor when plugged in so floats in mid air with the extension lead.
cheap, decent quality 1080p monito any 1080p monitor deserves 4 stars, right off the bat. however, there are some issues. the speakers are terrible, with no bass and very bad quality treble (though thats not catastrophic), but also the image starts to get blurry when, for example, turning quickly in a game or moving fast. though these issues don’t bother me too much.
all in all, its a great cheap quality which is fit for headset gaming.
Good value for money Screen quality is acceptable for the price. Its 60hz so quite respectable and also 1920×1080 resolution. Keep in mind that its not nearly as good screen quality as your usual gaming moniter or everyday monitor. But its good value for money. Happy with my purchase
Edit: It’s power port is a bit dodgy, knock the monitor a little and power cuts out, have to jiggle it around and shove the cable in to get it to work again. But it was 70, not a big deal.
Cheap but dece It’s a cheap monitor with HDMI and VGA ports. There’s a single button for power on and menu operations which is very frustrating to use. The stand is also not very secure at all and the instructions actually tell you to tie the monitor to a wall hook for stability.
I’d suggest if you wanted a similar size screen for the same price you should look at the AOC 22B1HS which has a much more stable base and multiple buttons for navigating screen menus. The AOC 22B1HS also comes with HDMI + VGA.
Monitor For PC Work - Recommend I wanted a cheap monitor to extend my small work laptop screen. Got the monitor for ‘AOC E2270SWHN – 22 Inch FHD’ for just 70. It was easy to assemble. Screen does tilt, just as well. So far I’d say the image quality is pretty good, especially for PC work. The power button also doubles as a menu button, as well as a selection button. The monitor came with both a HDMI and VGA cable. The power cable is quite short and could have been longer. I attached my laptop via the HDMI and it worked instantly. The menu section of the monitor has ‘volume’ but no sound comes out of the screen, which isn’t an issue for my use and if I wanted to work speakers I would. I don’t.
So, generally speaking, having had the monitor for just under a day I’d say I’m pleased with the purchase and it does what I hoped it would for not a great deal of money.
Excellent Budget Monito I’ve looked my way through most of the specs regarding the AOC E2270SWHN 22″ monitor and it would appear that, for its price, it has some excellent credentials and as I was to discover, produces High Definition images at 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz. However, being as this is a TN or as I’ve recently discovered, a twisted Nematic monitor, then this apparently means two things.
Firstly, they lack 100% accurate colour reproduction and second, to get the best possible clear image on screen you need to adopt a pretty much straight on angle to the screen as any angle other than that can make for washed out colours. Then again, if like me you won’t be firing up your state of the art copy of Photo Shop Pro or bobbing about in front of the monitor trying to steer a spaceship through an asteroid belt in some pc game any time soon, then this incredibly cheap, budget monitor could be the very fella for you.
I bought two of these and have them fixed to the wall by means of a French cleat (see pics) with the horizontal centre at eye level. This viewing angle provides me with razor sharp text whether I’m on word, excel or recording with Cubase and regarding colour, well I can understand the importance of colour variation from a pro photographers or video editors point of view but if not being able to tell the difference between 10 different shades of blue isn’t a deal breaker then you could do a lot worse than choose this monitor.
I like the fact that the HDMI, VGA and power sockets on this model are facing straight down to the floor and inset back from the vesa mountings enabling you to get pretty much flush with the wall if you are choosing this method as opposed to using the included monitor stand.
The monitors I received were just fine straight out of the box and I made no changes to the factory settings. If however, you’re not happy with these factory settings, then a quick single click on the on/off button situated on the right of the monitor will gain you access to the basic OSD settings, these will allow you, amongst other things, to set the brightness, contrast, language and volume. If you require more in depth settings then an i-menu is available to install from the accompanying cd rom.
In summary, this budget monitor delivers great high definition images resulting in crisp, clear text and at this stage I really can’t fault it and although it’s great from my usage point of view it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. At this cost, and bear in mind both the HDMI and VGA cables are included in the package, you are, in my view, getting real value for money.
A good value for money 22" monitor. I bought this monitor for general use as well as my main focus of music software.
It has DVI and VGA inputs so I’ve connected it to the DVI input via a display port adapter.
The picture quality is good for the price point. Undoubtedly there is better to be had, but at a considerable increase in cost.
It’s size means that two or even three windows can be open simultaneously and still be easily used.
This is important when you’ve got an arrange window running and you are mixing and adjusting effects.
For general usage it works well, and for the occasional game that I play, it’s fine, although I’ve read that a faster refresh rate is needed for the ultimate latest games.
For the cost it represents good value and I’d recommend it to others looking for a 22″ screen that doesn’t cost the earth.
Great, for the price. I’ve been using this monitor for a couple of months now and, for the price I paid, I really can’t complain. For an inexpensive little thing, it’s perfect for its purpose and for what I am currently using this monitor for.
There is only button on this monitor, making the settings menu a little hard to navigate through. Due to the sheer inexpensiveness of this monitor, there are not many settings you can mess about with (and less than you would see on a conventional monitor you’d pay a little more for), but this can sort of be expected.
The reason for only giving this product 4 stars, instead of 5, is the lack of the ability to turn the monitor the screen off while it is in use. Otherwise though, this monitor is perfect for the price you pay.
Generally speaking, if you’re looking for excellent picture quality, slightly more customisable monitor options, the ability to turn the screen off when it’s in use, and something more advanced for something like gaming purposes, this is not the monitor for you. But for an inexpensive additional screen, I really have no major complaints.
Great monitor for the price My Macbook screen went bust so I had to buy a monitor to use it with. The screen quality is great and there’s nothing to complain there.
I do wish there were more buttons though. There is only one button to both switch the monitor on/off and to shuffle through the menu and functions. If you wanted to turn the volume up or down, it takes about 10 seconds to do so. There are no +/- buttons, you just have to keep pressing a button until it reaches to the level you want.
But apart from that, it’s great!
Great screen for work and play I bought this as I needed a replacement to my LG screen, working on a pc all day requires the screen to be better than average. This little gem certainly outweighs my expectations.
Good backlight (the bit that makes the brightness) and this easily coped with sunlight and indoor ceiling lights.
Great refresh rate, meaning the screen scrolls without jitter or weird visual scrambling.
Excellent colour for work in text, editing pictures, video and of course browsing Amazon website.
Size is great, actually feels bigger than the dimensions because the edge frame is thin. The screen is light but solid and feels super stable and very important to me, it can be angled for optimal view of the screen.
All inputs and power as expected, I really cannot say a bad word. AOC was a gamble Asni never had one before, but this paid off because it does exactly what I expected and it does it very very well. Better resolution and refresh rate than some of my expensive screens!
Neat monitor, with good picture, partly let down by poor sound Bought this to improve usability of a Windows 10 tower. By default, W10 doesn’t support 1920*1080, but it wasn’t difficult to find out what kind of graphics chip was in my computer and to download a suitable driver. The result is a clear and readable screen, taking up less space than my old monitor.
Cables are easy to control, out of sight behind this good-looking monitor.
The sound seems very weak, and needs to be turned up high on both computer and monitor, which probably accounts for some distortion. The problem might be in my sound hardware, but it sounds OK through phones. This won’t be a problem unless you want to watch TV or YouTube videos.
Annoying to configure The only issues I have with this is because there is only one button on it, it is hard to configure things like screen brightness or contrast so you have to go from 100% to 1% until you can get exactly so you can’t go back on a slider. The other thing is if you aren’t looking at it straight it won’t look right.
This might be just my unit but the in box stand is quite wobbly and it almost feels like it will break when you go to tilt it.
Other than that great value at on 64 when i got it and makes a good addition to my setup
Tremendous monitor with one drawback. This is a seriously good monitor, widescreen, almost infinitely adjustable it seems and crystal clear at eye height. Therein lies the rub, to misquote the Bard, “at eye height” because there is no tilt adjustment so, unless you have a table or worktop that allows placement at eye height (centre of the monitor screen) you’d better have a selection of boxes or spacers upon which to stand it. I’ve managed with an empty HDD box (reinforced cardboard that doesn’t sag at the middle) and some ingenuity with empty envelopes to give a roughly 15 degree backwards slope.
To summarise, this is a brilliant monitor with an impressive array of software to vary the viewing experience, but with a really badly thought out stand. If you’re prepared to “Heath Robinson” its standing position and angle, it’s worth every penny. If your eyes aren’t at 7.5″ from the desktop surface (the midpoint of the screen) and have no desire to play with wedging the stand to tilt, avoid it as you’ll go mad trying to see what’s happening.
Good quality monito This is used as one of a pair of monitors on two computers – a Linux PC and a Mac. It stands on a third-party dual-monitor arm using the VESA mounting on the back. The monitor is light enough not to cause any concerns about mounting it in this way. The stand that comes in the box just slides on if you need it.
The screen is sharp and bright, the controls are easy enough to get used to. Most importantly, it was simply plug-in-and-go. Both the Mac (using the VGA connection) and the PC (using the DVI connection) recognised the monitor and available resolutions immediately and I was up and running within minutes of delivery. There is a driver disc in the box for certain versions of Windows, but wasn’t required in my case.
If you need a decent monitor on a budget, I’d recommend this one.
Ideal for Office / Home Office - and apparently not bad for gaming! With it’s straight-forward design, this 22″ monitor is ideal for office/home-office set ups. Whilst it doesn’t feature any form of manoeuvrability, it does support VESA mounting – ideal for wall & arm mounting to achieve that custom positioning you might be looking for. The resolution is 1920×1080 with a 5ms response time.
Although not specifically intended for heavier use, this model can perform at a standard pace when needed. I tested its capabilities on 3 games, including Cities: Skylines, OMSI 2 and Watch Dogs 2 and found that the monitor performs remarkably well. With Full HD LED design you’re obviously can’t expect 4K style gaming but after playing a couple hours on each I can say that I never noticed any bugging-out or visual imperfections. I don’t play shooters or FPS games so I can’t comment on that level, but I’d recommend the 1ms AOC model for that, if you want to keep within this tier of monitors.
Connectivity includes 1 x HDMI and 1 x VGA, with both cables provided in the box. Product support including drivers and software come with the product in an installation disc, but if, like me, you don’t have an optical drive you can download drivers from the manufacturers website. You’ll find 3 basic tools to control the quality and eco-footprint of the monitor. That being said, I can’t seem to figure out how to apply the changes to more than one monitor (I ordered two). It’s also important to realise that a budget-range model like this would seldom feature speakers, and this model DOES NOT. Although Windows 10 does seem to class it as a High Definition Audio Device.
bought it for £55 when on sale glad i did i read some of the customer reviews and some say the picture quality is bad and its not durable and such
i went ahead and bought this monitor at 55 and got two of them wish i got one more before the price went up
but im very happy with them i have a spare monitor i can have as a third so no hassle there i played a few games to see the picture quality and i got to say its quite nice the game latency was fast so if you are a gamer or even day to day things this monitor is worth the money i didnt get any dead pixels as other people did so i cant complain overall i give this monitor 8/10 for price and picture
The picture quality is fantastic.
I could not find any faults with it. IT WAS PERFECT.
Value at a cost of quality
This is an ok display luckily I only use it for a third rig which I don’t hardly use but yeah the screen is nice and bright and is ok but viewing angles are awful that said for the price you cannot moan!

Bargain!
I was fortunate enough to buy this monitor when it was on offer at a reduced price. For general use it is excellent. I had to give a rating for gaming but in truth that remains untested.

I don’t play shooters or FPS games so I can’t comment on that level, but I’d recommend the 1ms AOC model for that, if you want to keep within this tier of monitors.
Connectivity includes 1 x HDMI and 1 x VGA, with both cables provided in the box. Product support including drivers and software come with the product in an installation disc, but if, like me, you don’t have an optical drive you can download drivers from the manufacturers website. You’ll find 3 basic tools to control the quality and eco-footprint of the monitor. That being said, I can’t seem to figure out how to apply the changes to more than one monitor (I ordered two). It’s also important to realise that a budget-range model like this would seldom feature speakers, and this model DOES NOT. Although Windows 10 does seem to class it as a High Definition Audio Device.
bought it for £55 when on sale glad i did
i read some of the customer reviews and some say the picture quality is bad and its not durable and such
i went ahead and bought this monitor at 55 and got two of them wish i got one more before the price went up
but im very happy with them i have a spare monitor i can have as a third so no hassle there i played a few games to see the picture quality and i got to say its quite nice the game latency was fast so if you are a gamer or even day to day things this monitor is worth the money i didnt get any dead pixels as other people did so i cant complain overall i give this monitor 8/10 for price and picture
