AOC I2281FWH 21.5-Inch HD (1920 x 1080) LCD Monitor - Black

Screen works a charm. Can’t beat an IPS panel. Not ideal for gaming due to the refresh rate but for casual gaming it’s absolutely fine. Looks pretty cool too.

I accidentally smashed the screen of the old AOC i2267Fw monitor and because it was affordable, had a good design decided to buy this newer model. It is basically the same screen with different design. Actually older design I liked better because it had smaller, square shaped, flat stand – it took less table space and stand surface could be used for storage (I usually placed my mobile phone on it). Before buying I was looking to upgrade to 1440p 21.5”monitor, but most probably I will have to wait another 4 years then it will be available. This monitor not like predecessor, does not flicker on any brightness level (good for eyes). The model that I recieved had no dead pixels, no light bleed, gray scale and colors a little improved (although, I think, it have 6 bit matrix). Personally, I prefer screens that have glossy coating – this one have matte. It is overlookable up to 74Hz I am running it on 72Hz. The settings that I am using are the same like from AOC i2267Fw which was calibrated by TFT: Brightness - 41, Contrast - 50, ECO mode - Standard, Gamma - Gamma1, Color Temp - User, Red - 49, Green - 49, Blue - 48.

- Had this one for my home office since last week. Plug and play with my surface tablet plugged in hdmi. - Only one HDMI which doesn't bother me - Picture quality is excellent, this could be used to watch Netflix - No Speakers but a jack for your headphones or an external speaker - No dead pixels, well packaged, Yodel messed up the delivery but seller not to blame (I do hate yodel) Would buy again, bargain for the price.

I've used this monitor for a few weeks now and am well pleased with it! It's IPS (In-Plane Switching) screen is much improved on the TN (Twisted Nematic field effect) type which means better screen clarity when veiwed from different angles together with improved screen quality colour reproduction. And all for a decent price with good delivery.

The quality of the monitor/display is fantastic, I can't fault that. However, the display did not cover the full screen no matter what I connected it to. AOC's customer service was frankly shambolic and I have instead requested to return it as they are barely providing any support. Update: a big thanks to Office Nerd (who I bought it from) for resolving this. They said I wasn't the only one to experience this problem, so be cautious if you're buying one.
