This review is from: AOC 2770VH1 27-Inch LCD Monitor (Electronics)

I initially purchased 3 of these from another popular electronics vendor for the estimators in our small construction services company. Two were installed on Windows 7 machines and worked perfectly right out of the box. One was installed on XP and did require me to adjust the resolution but not a big deal. There is no software to install and it seems you don't need it. It may load drivers from a chip inside the monitor but I'm not sure about that.
We use them for business applications, not games or movies but they look amazing to me. We do look at videos taken by our field technicians and they look great.
We tried to order two more less than two weeks later from the same retailer but they no longer carried them. Luckily I found them here for around the same price (well under $300.00)and the shipping was free and faster than I expected.
I got one for myself and one for our mechanical engineer. After a few days using it I felt like my eyes were melting. It initially installs with the brightness all the way up. I reduced the brightness to 50% and it is much more comfortable to work in front of all day. I have recommended this to the other users and they also agree that it is entirely too bright at 100%.
I found the menu buttons a little awkward to work with for adjusting brightness or other settings but I managed to figure it out without looking at the manual. I can't say whether the manual is well written or not because I never cracked it open. I just plugged everything in and it worked. No bad or stuck pixels that I have noticed on 5 installs.

I would say for general purpose computing you can't go wrong with these if you need a lot of screen real-estate.
They are almost too big for some desks but it is worth making the room. Once you get used to having this much screen to work with it is painful to work in front of an old 19" screen. In fact I ended up getting a 27" monitor for home as well though a different model. I got a View Sonic for home and I like it. It has no speakers. These have an audio input but the speakers sound pretty bad. We all have speakers at our workstations so its not an issue.

If you're looking for a great big monitor for not a lot of money then get one of these. You won't regret it. Just plan on using seperate speakers.

This is a beautiful monitor for the color. The first one I got did have a stuck green pixel. Exchanged monitor and replacement is perfect. I also found that the sound wasn't working....Apparently the sound wont work if you are using HDMI. (Called Manufacturer) Don't worry though, the sound is horrible!!! I didn't buy the monitor for the sound quality anyhow. If you buy this and get black lines around the screen you will need to adjust your over scan on your video card to allow the displayed portion to reach the edges of the screen. If you do plan to use this via HDMI you will need to buy a cable as it doesn't come with one. I would definitely buy this monitor again if I needed another. AOC tech support is super friendly and easy to get a hold of too. 1-888-838-6388 USA

This review is from: AOC 2770VH1 27-Inch LCD Monitor (Electronics)

Easy to set up, basically plug and play. I am not using the monitor speakers for HDMI because I have my own high end speakers. I was blown away by the colors this monitor produced with no tweeking. They are bright and rich! I couldn't wait to watch blu-ray Avatar...which took my breath away. I read other reviews saying that text was fuzzy without adjustment...no problem here. I am a 3d artist and animator so I couldn't wait to open one of my apps. It was amazing to have so much "real estate" to work on! I wholeheartedly recommend this monitor. The price is lower then most but that just adds to its appeal.
