My monitor has just died. Any recommendations for a replacement? Anyone know of any on offer?

Anyone any experience of AOC ? Thinking of a 27in one for £152. Seems to have lots of decent reviews.

I have one at work, it looks cheap, feels cheap but the actual panel is pretty decent image quality.

AOC=cheap budget gear, they have poor response times and very low brightness ratings normally can give eye strain after a while, if you arent playing games or watching movies then it will be fine, otherwise I wouldnt bother personally but if you just want cheap and cheerful then go for it.

Much better brand for a few quid more with much better picture quality and pixel response.

Saw the size of the 27 vs 23 and decided it wasn't worth the extra dosh.

Have given a AOC a go as I will only be working and not playing games or watching TV.
