That was a 20" and it wasn't 1080p

I'd be curious to know if anyone has any experience with this model of monitor. The price is certainly nice for 23" 1080P (other models I've looked at went as high as $200), but the couple of AOC monitors at that size and aspect ratio on Amazon either have no reviews or a single negative review reporting it essentially DOA.

@davearnold731: I think the mount is on the bottom of the base.

I really want one of these, but my Samsung 2494SW monitor is still good.. only reason why I'd like this one is because it's white, LED and sleek.

Soon.

@mikeeyram: LCD is the technology used to form the pictures and words, LED is the type of lighting behind the LCD to make it glow. The older type of back-lighting is florescent which uses more energy, gets hotter, and usually doesn't last as long as LED.

Edit: I was beaten to it. Well I tried...

Newegg has a 23" Asus LED monitor for $150 after MIR. For $25 more, I'd personally go with the Asus. AOC isn't a bad brand, but they're definitely a "budget brand," and usually Asus is just higher quality.

Plus, the Asus is new so you get a 3 yr warranty vs this 90 day warranty. The Asus also has a 2ms response time (difference between 5ms and 2ms is nothing though), and it has an HDMI input which I personally like. And the Asus has speakers, which is awesome because with HDMI, you can hook a console video game system up and get sound without any problems.

This has Smart Wall Mount. To me VESA mount would be smart wall mount. This is, to my way of thinking, the opposite.

I bought two of this exact model on Moofi a month or two ago..

Let me just say it bluntly.

I REGRET PURCHASING THESE.

The reason why they were refurbished is easy to tell. The base is so thin from the stand and what attaches to the monitor that it is easy to snap off. One of the two I ordered sits at an unfix able pivot (a couple degrees from being perfectly horizontal), and they are so ridiculously wobbly I am afraid to even move them..

While the picture isn't bad, I would personally have gotten something with a decent warranty, because one bad bump, or move, and these things are toast..

Oh, and the VESA mounting and ports are in the STAND. which you have to awkwardly fold up for you to use.. (if you want to mount) And the same monitor that has the unfixable pivot I CANNOT UNLOCK THE BASE to fold it up, it's just broken. So it's permanently locked in its stand. If I didn't live overseas I would have instantly returned them because they are not built to last, at all.

I got three of these for my office when they were up a few months ago. I think they are great. The picture is teriffic and they must weigh half as much as the smaller LCD monitors they replaced. The people who actually use these on a daily basis also think they're great (and we all love things that are great). Because of the short warranty, I wanted to put them in use immediately to give them a chance to fail--all of them worked flawlessly. One of my better purchases.

The connectors are at the back of the base. When something is plugged into them, the whole unit has to be a couple inches forward so there is space for those cables. This would not work well for me the way my desk at work is arranged. Wouldn't be a problem at home.

This is a personal preference, but I like to have the power supplies built into the monitor, not as a separate brick.

Since the power supply is separate, it means the rest of the unit is lighter, so they could use a less robust stand. Many reviews say that they went overboard, and the stand is too wimpy.

Most reviews say the screen part works just fine. This may be the cheapest way to get a reasonable 1080P 23 inch LED back lit screen (this week), if you think you can tolerate the stand. I don't think I can tolerate the stand, so I will sit this deal out.

Note: I have a slightly older monitor, same brand, also 1080P, but smaller screen, with built in power supply, different base. I'm happy with that.

I wouldn't buy an AOC monitor for $5. Had two, they were both terrible and died shortly after the warranty period. We got a bunch at work and people hated them so much the company replaced them all - the whole batch - within a year with Dells. No complaints since.

i bought 3 of the smaller ones they had a few weeks ago. they are not the greatest monitors, far from it. but i needed a triple monitor setup and the price was right. one of these days i might get better ones, like some nice samsungs. the colors are off between the three monitors. and the stand is super flimsy. almost broke one just setting it up. and they dont seem to sit at the same heights. pretty sure its not my desk either. i am seriously thinking about removing the stand and base and replacing it with my own custom made ones.

We bought three of these from Moofi for our office a few months back.
Honestly: we're pretty happy with them.

The display is very clear; colors aren't bad; nice, crisp text; takes up a lot less desk than the old CRTs and older non-LED-backlit 19" LCDs we had.

The base, yes, is a bad design. There are VESA-pattern holes on the bottom of it, but the hinge/arm just isn't stable enough to make it a usable feature (plus, the monitor sits up VERY high since most VESA-mount stands assume a mount point roughly in the center of the display).

Would I buy them again? At that price: yes - the 3 we got work beautifully.
Would I buy them if I wanted to use the VESA mount as designed: NO.

Do I think you could get creative with some sheet metal and some industrial velcro and make a VESA-mount work by force? Heck yeah - the monitor doesn't weigh hardly anything and 3M's industrial mushroom-head velcro rocks.

@davearnold731: There ARE VESA-compliant holes on the bottom of the base, so your comment is incorrect.

...however, due to the rather weak design of the hinge/armature they're not super useful.

Just to reinforce what others have said: there IS such a thing as an LED display panel, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THESE ARE.

These are LCD panels with LED back-lighting.

Downvoting ONLY because the world needs to rise up and protest until this deceptive marketing practice is wiped from the face of the Earth!

I bought one of these a month ago and had problems from the start. First the transformer did not power on. The custormer service was great from their end, I got a new transformer. During that week the sensor was having issues and it kept acting like I was touching the base to adjust the screen. It is really hard to work with an adjustment box popping up in the middle of the screen. I tried getting a replacement from AOC but they would only repair not replace. I just feared the same problem would happen again and didn't have 2 weeks to wait for repair. Woot took it back no problems. Thanks Woot for allowing me to buy without worry!!
