Review on 🖥️ 23 Inch LED Monitor Wide Screen by AOC E2343F by Andrew Antibas

I was walking around Fry's store when I came across one of these 23 inch AOC monitors at a very attractive price. I was about to upgrade a Dell 19" 5:4 monitor at work and the good reviews combined with the price finally persuaded me to go for it. The packaging is very nice as opposed to other LCD's -Monitors I've had, this box opens to the side, there is a square foam board that needs to be removed and the monitor and stand sits there, assembled and ready to go. Literally push the latch on the bottom of the Base, fold the base away from the screen and it can be placed on the table. No assembly required! Also, the power cord and video cable connect to the base so unlike my Samsung, Dell and BenQ LCDs no silly wires hanging from the monitor itself.And the power cord first goes through a self-contained transformer, so it's just a lightweight cylindrical plug that goes into the base (similar to what you plug into your computer speakers) and no bulky 3-prong AC cable. Please note that there is no USB hub or audio built into this display. As another reviewer mentioned, the five touch-sensitive power and menu buttons are "hidden" on the base. They are actually hidden as they are white on white although they do glow when the power is on and working. Navigating the OSD is no better or worse than most other displays I've looked at, although the upside is that the buttons are much more natural to press when they're on the base rather than reaching up and having to press physical buttons at the very front of the display a few times. I, too, found this display unusually bright. I can't tell (and haven't researched) whether the screen is side-lit or back-lit, but the coverage is very even. I've found that 50% brightness works well for me in bright office lights, although it does get a bit dark for videos when I'm browsing YouTube during work hours. It's worth noting that the actual height of this 23-inch screen is close. an inch shorter than the 19-inch Dell it replaces, although the massive increase in resolution has increased my overall screen real estate (roughly twice the resolution in width). Due to the construction of the stand, adjusting the angle to the display isn't really possible, and the optimal viewing angle is straight to slightly high. If the monitor is above eye level, the brightness drops slightly. However, the lateral visibility is fine for desk work. The sexy subtlety - yes, it's legit, it's no thicker than my Blackberry - is lost in use unless you have a setup where you see your monitor. much from the side. If I want to show it to a colleague, I absolutely have to point out this striking profile. I had to power it with my own DVI cable. The transformer is powered by a standard three-prong AC cord that your old monitor is likely to use, making setup even easier (but it comes with its own cord). I didn't need to install any drivers to bring this monitor up to native resolution, so I was able to leave the CD sealed in its case. The base is a bit wobbly due to the entire screen being supported by a domino-sized hand, but I honestly don't think this will ever be a problem. Do you want an inexpensive, large and beautiful display for your PC? This should get your attention.
