@unkabob You can get gators here in MS. We have plenty of alligators in the reservoir near me. You have, however, missed gator hunting season for this year and so will have to wait until next year unless you want a live one.
Specs listed above for the I2367FH-B 23" IPS frameless monitor say "Multiple I/O Ports (2 HDMI)" but the AOC linked spec sheet says "DVI with HDCP" and the photo corroborates that. Too bad because I could use a 23" HDMI monitor.....
@Dankk I have two of these I got over at sloot when they were selling them. I thought I could fit three... no way no how. These guys take up a lot of desk space.

....heh... there's no paypal/whatever-click-once-and-done thingies !! lol what? I'm gonna get up? go get my wallet? and find the right card and fatfinger numbers by the light of the monitor? riiiight. wise up lab boyzngurlz Get some one-click-make-it-easy-to-impulse-buy payment solutions (don't care which) cuz real-name-on-the-card guy has PLENTY of time to stop unixrab from buying crap late at night if he's gotta do anything else other than click a very large button.
You're witty n cute tho so there's that. ;-) keep on keepin on!
@unixrab now add 3-7% commission to the price and think again. If you want, you can pay me 5% and I will fill all your credit card details for you. You call it "zero click-heydudebuythatshitforme" service.
@wishod Yeah...and also charge me for meh.com's ISP too.. awwww hell... just let me pay for all their costs of doing business for the privilege of being able to buy something on the intarwebs... capitalism much?
@SSteve I understand. It's that first purchase that has to happen though. Will I go to the extra effort to purchase something that's an amazing deal? Probably.... ...but haven't seen it yet - at the end of the (to)day, I woulda but I didn't. It was enough of a barrier that I passed. Those are just facts... and facts that I am sure the meh-powers-that-be understand and have made their decision.about. I'm assuming that the cost of easy payment services outweigh the potential revenue increase of impulse buying. I get it. Don't like it; but I get it.
Full Disclosure: spouse was reading this thread and, while she understands my POV, she would like it noted that she does NOT want any easy online payment options.
@unkabob Separate cables from each laptop video output port to different monitors + Windows magic works for me. I have lost my old school skillz., or I am just lazy. Not really sure, and not sure I even care....
Ultrawide monitors next time. I don't care if it's the world's cheapest, crappiest ultrawide monitor. It can have a refresh time measured in mili-days. I will buy it. Probably.
would any of these be worth reselling for a profit? It seems the margin on these is pretty slim. Like you could get a new one for $20 more on one of them.
Did I miss it? What's the native/max resolution on the 27" IPS monitor?
Edit: I guess it's 1920x1080 (regretfully making it "meh"). Is mentioned in the first paragraph of the write up, but I was looking in the specs, and this monitor is the only one that the resolution is missing in the specs.
I have an AOC I picked up on Woot (can't remember if it was before or after The Sell) and it has worked great for me. Gotta say, if you're not doing anything that requires great response time or other super features, AOC is hard to beat for the price.
That being said, I don't get why monitors double in price on 3-4 inch increments. It's almost cheaper to get a TV after 24" (though I understand that's a little silly).
How nice that they all come with a VGA cable. They should throw in a parallel cable with that - I certainly need more e-garbage to figure out what to do with.
Seriously though, it's not like HDMI cables are expensive, and if you're using a VGA cable with an IPS monitor, you're just doing it wrong.
If I needed another monitor, I would buy one of the IPS models offered here.
Over the years, I have bought seven of the older IPS e2243Fwk model (also refurbished) from Woot. The only one that had a problem was my fault. I changed how it was mounted on my robot. Turns out that made it so when the screen was folded down, the robot was an inch too high to fit into the trunk of my car. When I put it into the trunk after that change, the screen encountered a chunk of steel. The steel won.
I have 6 good ones left. One is in the exercise room and is hooked up to a Roku. It is used purely as a television display. We use headphones off of the Roku for sound.
One is on the robot. That model is normally powered with an external 12 volt power supply. On my robot, the main battery voltage drops down to 8 volts when the motors are going at full power, and the monitor was not happy with that. So it has its own smaller 12 volt battery. The robot has a Raspberry Pi. These monitors only have DVI-D and VGA connectors, so I use $2 HDMI to DVI-D adapters.
@JonT I only did that once. This mobile computing thing was new to me. I fixed it by replacing the thick piece of wood that supported the monitor, with a much thinner piece of plexiglass. Now it looks cooler too.
@JonT Note that the 22 inch monitor for sale here has a built in power supply, not an external "brick". This means it would be less suitable for my robot, since it is much thicker, doesn't fold down, and it won't run directly off of 12 volts. I'd have to totally remove the monitor when trunking the robot, plus I would need to add an inverter to power it.
Are these (specifically the 27" IPS) decent for FPS gaming? Just did a mini-build with a single MSI R9-280X card so 1080 is realistically the max anyway. I'd love to replace an aging Samsung LCD panel.
@MrHappypants I think people make way too much of the little technical advantages you can get with PC gaming. I could be wrong but unless you're trying to go pro, the 1% difference in response times or whatever isn't going to do anything for you. I was using a super crappy off brand 17 inch monitor for all of my PC gaming until very recently and I always did fine in Counter-Strike and every other competitive game. All of that to say…I hope so because I bought one.
Has there every been a "deal" on a 1440p monitor with a hz rate higher that 60? Are we not at that point yet? I just feel like I've been seeing 1080p 60hz refurbed monitors forever.
For those of you using an Nvidia card and a HDMI connection, make sure you enable the full gamut of color range for HDMI connections to get the full effect of color/darks with your new monitor.

@mediocrebot where is the 72" monitor for purchase
@funkypunk Who cares about that? Where can I get me a gator!!
@unkabob You can get gators here in MS. We have plenty of alligators in the reservoir near me. You have, however, missed gator hunting season for this year and so will have to wait until next year unless you want a live one.
Meh...but prices look decent. Refurb cheap monitors sort of scare me though...
meh.
meh.
Would be nice, but just bought a new monitor, so meh.
Ugh, if I wasn't flying out of state next week, I'd pick up a couple.
Whatza FURBUSH?? And why do you have to have it "RE" FURbushed???
Going to have to sleep on this one...
I really wanted to spend some money tonight, but I haven't had a pc tower in 5 years
@somf69 i plug in my macbook and put it on a stand and voila, pretend it's the desktop rich 90's again
No need for this whatsoever, and its 16 million colors probably don't include Georgia red.
@khunjeff somewhere in those 16 million colors is georgia red. Of that I am sure.
@Kidsandliz then for that alone, meh
@khunjeff any decent write-up would make sure to note this. .
if i didnt need to save some money i might have gotten another one of these, but meh otherwise
How much is the 72" one?
@Gaster I have to stand by this mans question went to purchase said 72" and it was no where to be purchased please fix for all mehmanity
@Gaster Unfortunately it escaped the warehouse after eating a few speaker docks and my Snickers Bar.
We already have a "new" AOC monitor from you, meh!
Specs listed above for the I2367FH-B 23" IPS frameless monitor say "Multiple I/O Ports (2 HDMI)" but the AOC linked spec sheet says "DVI with HDCP" and the photo corroborates that. Too bad because I could use a 23" HDMI monitor.....
@gio thanks for catching that. AOC lists it as having 2 HDMI ports in 1 place, no HDMI in another. It seemingly does not.
@ChadP @gio My mistake, actually the linked spec sheet is just the wrong one. It shows the i2367F, not the i2367FH which does indeed have 2 HDMI ports.
@ChadP The spec sheet also says the Speakers are N/A whereas the listing says 2 builting speakers.
@hchavers @ChadP Right. The "H" model does have speakers. This also lends explanation for the differing inputs; HDMI supports audio channels.
Either the spec sheet link is wrong or Meh doesn't know what monitors they actually have :P
@ChadP Here's the correct spec sheet for the i2367Fh http://us.aoc.com/support/documents/pdf/documents/593
I can view pagination on these! In for three!
Legitimately disappointed that the 72" Monitor is not one of the choices during checkout.
Meh.
@The_Tim we had 85 for the sale, but they escaped the warehouse...
@ChadP @The_Tim Is that what that hissing sound coming from the empty cube next to me was?
@JonT no. that was the ghost of @mehcus
So meh it hurts
I have two AOC 23" LED monitors and I haven't had any problems.
They also cost me $30 more than the 23" IPS ones here, and I only got them a years ago. Argh.
Meh. Best Buy has a roughly equivalent 24" AOC - new - for $99.99. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/aoc-23-6-led-hd-monitor-black/5704037.p
Last time around it was the speaker-less i2367F and I bought three. Cost less than my graphics card and took my gaming to another level <3
@olegoode The spec sheet says they are still speaker-less.
@hchavers It's the wrong spec sheet I think. Replied to your comment above.
updated-fatty-pony
I've needed a new monitor for a long time now, none of the ones I've been using since I got my desktop a couple years ago even had HDMI ports.
Went for the 27" IPS, it has quite a few good reviews out there and I'm excited to see how it looks.
@JonT what's your employee discount ;3
@JazzyJosh probably free shipping since he can take it home from the warehouse himself. Oh wait that must be the employee equivalent of VMP minus $5.
What's your policy on dead pixels?
@Fej kill it again makeing sure its really dead. jkjk
@Fej I'd like to know the answer to this as well.
@Fej Every pixel dies. Not every pixel truly lives.
I want to get two 27" IPS monitors but I have no idea how they'd both fit on my desk.
@Dankk I have two of these I got over at sloot when they were selling them. I thought I could fit three... no way no how. These guys take up a lot of desk space.
@steimes
was interested in the e2752She model until i saw it's $20 more for a new-in-box shipped prime on amazon.
Meh, when will you have a deal on actual monitors?
I mean, if it's not 16:10 it's not worth it.

@RedHot that's funny. so... you don't use the Internet much AND you don't own a dictionary? Easy buddy.
@wishod Yeah...and also charge me for meh.com's ISP too.. awwww hell... just let me pay for all their costs of doing business for the privilege of being able to buy something on the intarwebs... capitalism much?
@unixrab After the first purchase, you don't have to re-enter anything—it only takes a single click to confirm.
@unixrab
@JonT I see a feature enhancement for the TL;DR filter.
@SSteve I understand. It's that first purchase that has to happen though. Will I go to the extra effort to purchase something that's an amazing deal?

@JonT !
@unixrab Because fuck minimal effort, that is standard to many online retailers, right?
@Thumperchick see above: bottom line, no sale.
Full Disclosure: spouse was reading this thread and, while she understands my POV, she would like it noted that she does NOT want any easy online payment options.
@unixrab LOL
Already got three of these suckers and can only use one at a time cause I got no geekable hook-ups, now you wanna talk multi-monitor set up stuffs..?
@unkabob Separate cables from each laptop video output port to different monitors + Windows magic works for me. I have lost my old school skillz., or I am just lazy. Not really sure, and not sure I even care....
prices are not ground breaking here, but i still bought one since one of the monitors recently died.
Good grief, so many super-similar options. I don't need one, but I've bought some generic-y IPS monitors in the past and they've all worked out great.
Ultrawide monitors next time. I don't care if it's the world's cheapest, crappiest ultrawide monitor. It can have a refresh time measured in mili-days. I will buy it. Probably.
would any of these be worth reselling for a profit? It seems the margin on these is pretty slim. Like you could get a new one for $20 more on one of them.
I really want to buy the 23" IPS, but the lack of vesa mount is a problem for me. :(
@Fen_Star damn it, i just noticed it doesn't have the vesa. :( will not work with my existing set up.
@Fen_Star Yeah, that's a deal breaker.
I just bought two of the exact same 24" monitors from that "W" site last week! And I paid about $10 more for each one! Loud noises!
@Lister I feel your pain.... not really but that does suck Monitor Eggs.
Did I miss it? What's the native/max resolution on the 27" IPS monitor?
Edit: I guess it's 1920x1080 (regretfully making it "meh"). Is mentioned in the first paragraph of the write up, but I was looking in the specs, and this monitor is the only one that the resolution is missing in the specs.
@dungoyle Actually, the bullet points on the front page specifically say "They're all 1920 x 1080 resolution".
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I want one, but I already have a 3 monitor setup and it's not in my budget this month. So meh it is.
Meh, 1080 pixels vertical isn't enough. I miss the old days when the standard aspect ratio for monitors was 4:3.
@Doodpants Me too! I bought eight 4:3 21" monitors right after they quit making them so I should have enough spares to never have to buy a widescreen.
I have an AOC I picked up on Woot (can't remember if it was before or after The Sell) and it has worked great for me. Gotta say, if you're not doing anything that requires great response time or other super features, AOC is hard to beat for the price.
That being said, I don't get why monitors double in price on 3-4 inch increments. It's almost cheaper to get a TV after 24" (though I understand that's a little silly).

Seriously though, it's not like HDMI cables are expensive, and if you're using a VGA cable with an IPS monitor, you're just doing it wrong.
meh, I have too many TVs right now.
Great timing! My monitor just started to fail this morning as the screen is jumping around.
@Sevylor7 Stop playing House of Pain, and maybe it'll settle down.
Why couldn't you wait a week so I could recover from buying the vacuum? :/
@Fej Wait a week or two and they will be BAACCCKKKKKK
If I needed another monitor, I would buy one of the IPS models offered here.
Over the years, I have bought seven of the older IPS e2243Fwk model (also refurbished) from Woot. The only one that had a problem was my fault. I changed how it was mounted on my robot. Turns out that made it so when the screen was folded down, the robot was an inch too high to fit into the trunk of my car. When I put it into the trunk after that change, the screen encountered a chunk of steel. The steel won.
I have 6 good ones left. One is in the exercise room and is hooked up to a Roku. It is used purely as a television display. We use headphones off of the Roku for sound.
One is on the robot. That model is normally powered with an external 12 volt power supply. On my robot, the main battery voltage drops down to 8 volts when the motors are going at full power, and the monitor was not happy with that. So it has its own smaller 12 volt battery. The robot has a Raspberry Pi. These monitors only have DVI-D and VGA connectors, so I use $2 HDMI to DVI-D adapters.
@hamjudo Man isn't it the worst when all of the monitors you attach to your robots make them too tall to fit in your trunk?
@JonT I only did that once. This mobile computing thing was new to me. I fixed it by replacing the thick piece of wood that supported the monitor, with a much thinner piece of plexiglass. Now it looks cooler too.
@JonT Note that the 22 inch monitor for sale here has a built in power supply, not an external "brick". This means it would be less suitable for my robot, since it is much thicker, doesn't fold down, and it won't run directly off of 12 volts. I'd have to totally remove the monitor when trunking the robot, plus I would need to add an inverter to power it.
Are these (specifically the 27" IPS) decent for FPS gaming? Just did a mini-build with a single MSI R9-280X card so 1080 is realistically the max anyway. I'd love to replace an aging Samsung LCD panel.
@MrHappypants I think people make way too much of the little technical advantages you can get with PC gaming. I could be wrong but unless you're trying to go pro, the 1% difference in response times or whatever isn't going to do anything for you. I was using a super crappy off brand 17 inch monitor for all of my PC gaming until very recently and I always did fine in Counter-Strike and every other competitive game. All of that to say…I hope so because I bought one.
@JonT Good points, I'm not exactly playing for biiiiig money or anything so I'm sure it'll be fine. Thx!
@MrHappypants Annnnnd it sold out! Saved me from myself. sigh
sooooo if i wanted to buy a triple monitor set up would i buy 3 of 78$ ones?
@noteriq why stop at 3?
@JonT Why stop there?
if i had the money i wouldn't.
meh. ASUS VE278 at Newegg for about $185 (open box but new) is good quality and has speakers, great for gaming.

I do like the quoted price of '$wtf'
I missed out by looking at this after work. :( I won't even click "meh" cuz I was actually stoked about this deal.
Has there every been a "deal" on a 1440p monitor with a hz rate higher that 60? Are we not at that point yet? I just feel like I've been seeing 1080p 60hz refurbed monitors forever.
@nasedase monoprice has a 27" 1440p monitor on sale for $319
Just got both of mine today, and both are defective. Am I just the lucky guy that got the runts of the litter, or is anyone else having issues?
@Hecatomb00 Got mine a few days ago and it works perfectly. :\ Reach out to AOC and they should be able to help out.
@Hecatomb00 here's the link
@hollboll Thanks. I had them shipped back to AOC last week for RMA processing. I will try to remember to update when they come back my direction.
Mine arrived perfectly, no defects at all.
