AOC IPS LED Frameless Monitor (Refurbished)
- Choose 22" or 27", depending on whether you’d rather have a bigger screen or an extra Benjamin in your wallet
- Borderless, slim, IPS, 60 HZ, 5ms response time, not bad for just-a-monitor
- Don’t overpay for pixels and Hz you don’t actually need
- Model: I2269VW-B, I2757FH-B
Straight A's, except for one B-minus.
Whatever spec you look at - their IPS technology for colors that look right from all angles, their nice fast 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time, their ultra-slim borderless build - these are exceptionally good monitors.
Except one: their 1920x1080 HD resolution. In that area and that area alone, they’re merely commonplace. Mainstream. Average. Really good at most of the stuff people do with monitors, from watching Netflix to web browsing.
But not anything that will impress your gamer friends. What will wow them is a three-monitor setup of these AOC Ultra-Slims, for less than you’d pay for a single shmancy monitor with a gaudy resolution that your graphics card probably can’t even take advantage of.
Fortunately for those of us who would never spend two months’ salary on an elite PC gaming rig, the bizarre mathematics of the monitor market dictate that a bunch of above-average features + one average feature = a below-average price. Hence, these excellent IPS-equipped borderless monitors at this frankly preposterous price. Then it’s just a question of whether you’re good with the 22" or you want to pay a hundred bucks more for the 27".
These AOC Ultra-Slim Monitors are like a beautiful show dog whose tail is half an inch shorter than the rules allow, or an All-Star first baseman whose throwing arm is just OK. Except that you can’t buy that magazine-cover collie for 20 bucks, or sign that first baseman for league minimum. Gosh, it’s almost as if the spec-mongering monitor nerds whose preferences drive the marketplace aren’t quite as smart as they think.
