good monitor for the price.

Good monitor for the price. It also looks good on VGA. It would have been nice if it had an extra HDMI or USB port for audio and such, but I guess that's why it was cheaper. There is only VGA and DVI

AOC Brand Monitor is the best in my rating

If you are thinking about buying this monitor brand because of the price, you can also spend another 20 or 30 for brands like Dell or HP. Permission is terrible.

AOC E2251SWDN 21.5 " Widescreen LED Monitor - Black

Great monitor at a great price. The only drawback is the size of the readable font on the screen. I don't know if the print size can be increased. Otherwise the monitor is perfect. A great tool for working and watching DVDs and Blu-Rays. Enjoy.

Be aware that this device does not have an HDMI port

The product image is incorrect, there is no HDMI port on the unit, I got an HDMI to DVI cable from Best-Buy to make it work. The cable is capable of 1080p resolution, but still. stay tuned folks.

Good size, bad viewing angle

If you're tight on cash and just need a screen, there are worse deals out there. The colors are close enough that you certainly don't have to strain to see them (laughs). Viewing angle (not angle) is a straight forward thing. This rules out serious multi-monitor systems, as does the lack of VESA mount compatibility (I knew that when I bought it). For a single-screen slot machine on a budget, that's fine. Note, however, that if you intend to use multiple monitors for gaming, you should look for…

Great monitor, great price

It was cheap last Christmas at $105. Very good monitor, great refresh rate, light and economical. It's good to have an HDMI input (it isn't).

Cheap does not mean "cheap "

I saw that the monitor has regular VGA and DVI connectors and is a great price. Opened and there is only one VGA cable. Who uses a VGA cable with a 22 inch monitor? Heck, my graphics card doesn't even have a VGA output.

Percent with this article I got very good protection and what surprised me the most is that the guarantee is extended in my country. Good to know if you have any problems as we don't have to pay for shipping if the goods are damaged.

Good size, good price, bad viewing angles

I needed a bigger monitor for photo editing and it was cheap. If I had to do it all over again, I'd wait, save a few bucks more, and buy a decent monitor. This is sufficient. Although the viewing angle is disgusting. A few degrees from straight and you get color distortions, dark blocks, looks like a negative, etc.

Great monitor

Crisp images, deep colors and a wide screen, this monitor performed better than I expected and was very reasonably priced. I would recommend this to everyone.

A good product. misleading images

I just opened the product today. Super light and works well. Don't be fooled by the picture, this model doesn't have an HDMI port or an audio output. Only VGA and DVI. The monitor is also only 21.5 inches, not 22 as it says right on the box. Aside from the page being misleading, the product looked good.

Inexpensive monitor -

We got it for $109. That's a very good price for a mediocre LED monitor. It is definitely lightweight and consumes very little energy. However, compared to my old 20-inch Viewsonic VP2030b LCD monitor, the images appear washed out and blurry. We tried adjusting the quality manually, but even in Best mode, the picture and colors don't compare to the old monitor. . The viewing angle is terrible. The slightest change in viewing angle has a major impact on image quality. We definitely noticed a…

Good monitor for the price.

It was a regular monitor for its price. I was a bit disappointed at first because you have to look at it from the right angle to make it look good. Also, it tends to be a bit blurry, but I was able to play around with the settings and make it look decent. Other than that no issues and it's way better than what I had before!

Decent at ninety-nine dollars

Let's face it - for less than a hundred, this product is fine. More money than that, it's too expensive. This is a beautiful slim 21.5 inch monitor. If you use IPS like I do, this is a terrible monitor with terrible color reproduction, washed out colors and terrible viewing angles. Price? I bought it for ninety nine dollars. At that price it was disposable enough for me to buy one to do a dual monitor setup. It sucks compared to my other Dell ST2220T IPS, but it cost me next to nothing (Dell…

Road test and approval!

I've just returned from a 10 day stay in Europe, my first real road test of this screen. My goal is to be able to run my business from anywhere. My IP telephony works great, all my documents and apps are in the Google cloud and my Sony laptop offers local firepower. This left me with a dilemma: How do I replicate the three-screen setup in my home office that I've become heavily dependent on? So this pup seemed like a good decision. It just fits (barely) in my 24" Travelpro carry-on. Final…

The colors are a bit washed out. Not as bright as other monitors. There are better alternatives in the same price range. Delivery was very fast.

Attention buyers - my new rating

As another reviewer noted, this screen does not have an HDMI connection as shown in the picture (and the picture on the manufacturer's website. How can they have an incorrect picture of their product?). I just took mine out of the box and was incredibly disappointed with the picture quality. My HP w1858 LCD (max display size about 720i) looks better than this one. The text is blurry. There are 6 large lines/bars in the center of the screen. The displayed image is actually shaky and flickering…

This is a great monitor with great resolution etc. The only bad thing about it is that it doesn't come with a DVI connector in the retail box.
