Bought this for my home office set up to an old Mac Mini. Due to space, its thinner profile works well and I have it on a single vertical monitor post with arm fixed to the desk, so the weight of the monitor is good for that.
Picture is clear and no complaints. I have not used it for gaming so cannot comment on that.
If I need another one or to replace another existing (LG TV) used a monitor on my other machine, I would buy again.
The fact that it’s an IPS 165hz monitor for such a price (I’ve bought it for sale as well) makes it probably the best money-quality product on the market. The only real issue that I have with this monitor is the fact that sometimes, if you’re trying to get into BIOS, for an example, the monitor doesn’t turn on fast enough to see whether you actually did this or no, you’ll get the “No signal” message until you reboot your monitor. Sometimes it occurred when I just had to reboot the system. Maybe it was the GPU issue, had an RX570 while was doing all that, perhaps now things would go differently.
I needed to swiftly set up an office space to be used on a short-term basis, and I didn’t want to spend a fortune, as it was coming out of my own pocket. Two monitors were an essential element of that, and I chose these based on budget, size, and reviews. I am not disappointed. The screens are great and far exceed expectations. The images are crisp and clear, with excellent colour tones. They’ve been in use for a couple of months now with no issues at all. Happy to recommend.
Setting it up alone was somewhat challenging, but I managed it with minimal frustration.
The HDR appeared slightly off, darker than expected, making it difficult to enhance the game’s appearance through editing.
The headphone jack requires a specific twisting position to produce good sound, suggesting it may be either defective or previously used and returned.
I don’t use it for gaming so can’t cast any judgement on how good it is for that, but as a work/productivity tool it’s been absolutely brilliant.
Using the Display Port to get 4K and plugged into a MacBook Pro, the visuals are stunning and the amount of space it gives you for multitasking is really eye opening when compared to 2K/QHD monitors (that I was using previously).
The bezels are slightly misleading, the physical border is only 2mm but that’s not the true edge of the screen! It’s more like a 5mm around the edges but that’s a minor issue, especially if you’re only using one monitor.
Very happy with it!
Honestly best purchase I made,
I’m a midcore raider on a MMO GAME
And have recently started building my own Gaming area after playing on a tv for so long and honestly this has to have been one of the best purchases I’ve made the grathics and everything on this is amazing and very good value for money and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of buying
I got this because my Mac Book Pro screen had started to just not turn on. It would just sit on a black screen, but the computer was clearly working. I’ve used it a few times… since the screen randomly started working again! When I have used it it turns on and connects via HDMi quickly. The picture quality and colour are really good and the size of it makes it more fun when doing the digital design work I do.
As a computer science student, I don’t think I can get a better deal than this and especially under 80. If u have more requirements please increase ur budget and go for a better monitor. Don’t get ur hopes high on this price point in 2024.
Great budget monitor. The monitor looks really nice and as someone who’s not really into gaming it’s a perfect choice. Theres only a slight difference from my expensive gaming monitor hooked to my pc.
Only downside is sometimes a few pixels will go green but it’s an easy fix i just have to re-adjust the hdmi or simply turn it on and off but i think this may be because the way i’ve wrapped the cables or to do with my PS5
Overall i definitely recommend as a secondary or budget monito
1) It took me ages to find the on off button – which I expected to see on the frame as you would normally or underneath the front of the frame but there are a few oblong buttons at the back and because the indentations for on off / colour etc are all black on black its difficult to see which buttons you should pressing.
Only other thing was that my screen at least, came without the static plastic sheet you usually find on a new screen – nothing there – I thought it was maybe really stuck on because there does seem to be a frame that looks like the edge of a plastic sheet but after trying to pick at it for a long time realised it’s probably just a matt screen and its all part of the pattern.
I would have liked a glossy screen instead of matt, because the image does feel sharper, but I’m mainly using the screen to extend my laptop screen and watch a bit of youtube in the background during the quiet times in my workday – so again, can’t complain at all – pretty happy!
I also got the 22inch and for me it seems the right size for what I need to work with on a daily basis – big enough for my desk – but not too big that its overpowering.
1. The 165Hz is only reserved for the display port if you’re using an HDMI cable then you’ll be stuck with 120Hz
2. The light cannot be turned off and will start pulsing when the display is not connected. Might be annoying if you’re going to sleep as it is quite bright. You can turn off the display at which point it will turn off.
3. Turning off the display is not as responsive as it should be. Usually requires me to push the bottom twice.
4. Wake up time not as fast takes like three seconds. This is when using HDMI, can’t comment on the display port.
Overall it’s a great display for the price point and will be used for years to come. Finally I’d recommend getting a VESA mount for it.
At first, I wasn’t sure if I should go with this monitor as I hadn’t heard of the brand. However, I took the chance on it and it arrived in perfect condition with no issues on arrival.
The monitor is really easy to assemble no screws or tools are needed and feels really well-built. The packing was some of the best I’ve seen as well When I saw how well it was sent knew I’d made a good choice before even opening the box to find it really easy to set up (The stand etc.) and the overall performance of the monitor was a game changer from 60hz.
A display port was included which is great.
The menu is a bit boring but does the job but you aren’t gonna be using it every time so it’s not that big of a deal. I do like the bottom on the back for navigating the whole of the menu tho pretty nice.
Conclusion: If you are just looking to upgrade to 144hz 1080p then this is a great buy with the only major downside being not able to adjust the monitor position (Other than tilt), buying and attaching it to a monitor arm will fix that as the price of the monitor and an arm for it (should you choose to get one) would bring the price up to what the other brands want for just the monitor so easy choice.
Price when buying: 100
Overall great buy definitely recommend it. 5/5 stars.
Pros – supports 75hz, has VGA input which is handy for the old Dell Optiplex I have along with an HDMI for my work PC. Cheap. Comes with an HDMI cable (not tested). Menu of options is not bad. Stand is tilt adjustable. Came in original packaging and I don’t think anything was missing.
Cons – I couldn’t get my HDMI to connect until I unplugged it and turned on the monitor with just VGA connected. Buttons for all the functions are on the back so a bit awkward to find. Stand is not height adjustable (normal at this price point). Colour is just okay for general use.
Overall I’m happy enough, there are a bunch of retailers selling refurbished or used monitors like this for around the 50 mark and for my needs it hits the spot. Not sure I’d use it for anything other than regular office work, youtube or very casual gaming though.
I had never heard of the brand so naturally was quite sceptical buying the monitor especially with such a high refresh rate for such a low price. however, I am blown away at the quality!
The 165hz works flawlessly, after intending to have this as a “standby” monitor until I could afford something “better” I am so glad I chose it and it now runs as my main screen.
Pros:
PRICE!
-You wont get much better than this in terms of quality to price ratio
Quality
– The monitor feels very sturdy and I have no worries about any knocks or bumps.
Easy to set up
– had this thing plugged and ready in no time!
Cons:
Colour
– Screen colour feels deep / not bright after first plugin, but after going to NVidia control panel and doing slight tweaks easily rectified!
Angles
– The stand does not come with the ability to angle the monitor up or down, slightly a problem as I am quite tall so the monitor feels lower down than it should be, however easily rectified by some books under the stand!
AOC Monitor is on the left!
Let me just say that for 125 its an okey 1080p 144+Hz monitor, However in my honest opinion (IMHO) there is pros and cons to this monitor and from a laid back general viewing perspective it doesn’t preform all that great, However it does preform very well for gaming which is what its intended purpose is for.
The Good:
– Colour contrast is arguably really good.
– Overdrive @ medium does a really good job at providing good clarity no matter if you achieve 165/144 or 60fps etc
– Brightness can get really bright. (ONLY on active white windows etc)
– 165Hz refresh rate.
– Crosshair options if you’re into that sort of thing
The Bad:
– Ambient Backlight isn’t great
– Viewing angle could be better for an IPS. most likely suffers from the backlight stated above
– from my understanding there is either none or a very low dynamic contrast ratio meaning shadows in situations are not replicated very well
And with that concluded, All that remains is the material used for the monitor which is a durable solid reinforced plastic, However there is no reinforcement to the monitors attachment point to the stand meaning any sort of desk hit or nudge it will cause it to wobble immensely. The way you turn on the monitor is at the back right of the monitor with an analogy stick, You push in to power on/off, Push up to access the monitors menu, And press down to enable crosshair
The freesync feature and the issues that come along with it are annoying in day to day general usage, in that flickering and random periods of the monitor cutting out and having a black screen for sub 1 second or 1-2 seconds. As well as a slight audio trip which can be quite infuriating. Only disabling freesync premium will this resolve the issue.
For a gaming purpose monitor, it will do just fine!
But in regards to movies and tvshows or any sort of dark space experience the monitor wont preform that great compared to other competitors, Granted other competitors dont have this low of a price for a monitor as you would be looking to spend an additional 30-50 to get better quality.
:UPDATE:
Previously the first monitor had a stuck green sub-pixel shown in the pictures provided, Which no matter how much i tried to fix with online resources for correcting and testing sub-pixels and dead pixels, it just wouldn’t turn off. So under a week later and one monitor replaced. it has no stuck pixel. the back analog button is far more better to use compared to previous model. maybe this is a new revision monitor as there is not so much wiggle room and flat audible clicks anymore like what i had with the previous monitor.
Overall 4/5
