AOC 24B2H2 24” Frameless IPS Monitor, FHD 1920x1080, 100Hz, 106% sRGB, for Home and Office, HDMI and VGA Input, Low Blue Mode, VESA Compatible,Black

This is my second AOC monitor. This monitor is high quality and does everything the specs say. I will buy AOC again when I’m due for an upgrade.

My 15 year old LG M237WD 23" Flatron Monitor/HDTV finally died on me leaving me in a strange new world where you can no longer find a new, low-cost Monitor/HDTV with a built-in antenna input and tuner. Today you need a monitor with 2 HDMI inputs and a separate HDTV tuner with antenna input to do the job. The question today is which ones do the best job at the lowest price? After extensive online research, I decided on the AOC 24B2H2 24" LCD Monitor and the Mediasonic HOMEWORX HW250STB Convertor Box/Tuner. In short, I am extremely happy with the choices I've made. Before you make your decisions, I highly recommend you download and read the online user manuals available by searching for them online. In particular, you need the online AOC user manual to properly describe and utilize the the 5 tiny buttons on the bottom edge of the screen used to power on and access monitor settings. The paper guide included with the AOC monitor does NOT describe how how to use these buttons. The HOMEWORX manual omits fully describing how to prepare for, record, and playback TV programs on a USB flash drive. If you are computer savvy, formatting, recording, playback and deletion of TV programs is easy to figure out. If not savvy, you may need to ask HOMEWORX for help. The AOC monitor is very easy to set up. You just need to insert the neck at the bottom of the screen into the base. The screen can be tilted from 20° up to -5° down. You plug in your 1 or 2 HDMI cables from the HOMEWORX tuner and your computer, the power cord, and your speaker or earphone 3.5mm connector cable, and you're done! The HDMI button under the bottom screen edge allows you to easily switch between the tuner and your computer. Audio is automatically switched between devices with the HDMI button. On Windows 10, a 24B2H2 Intel(R) Display Audio interface is automatically installed by the AOC monitor and becomes the Default Playback Device. I have an audio cable running from my computer to my speakers in addition to the HDMI cable. If needed, I can switch the Default Playback Device back to Realtek High Definition Audio to enable me to record audio using Audacity software, which I use to record stock market Earnings Webcasts. (Note: Audacity requires a wire connection between the Realtek audio output and input to enable recording audio off the Internet.) The AOC display itself is excellent, strong clean colors and high definition. The screen is matted, NOT glossy as incorrectly listed by Amazon. The HOMEWORX tuner has a handy easy to use large remote control along with manual control bottons on the tuner itself. In addition to the HDMI port, it also has RCA jacks and can act as a HDTV converter box for an old analog TV or as audio output for a stereo amplifier. It has a USB-A port for a USB flash drive or other form of storage drive. When not turned on, the HOMEWORX digital display acts as a clock showing the time of day. Signal reception by the HOMEWORX is excellent. This has the best reception of any HDTV tuner I've used so far, and I receive stations I could not receive before so long as the weather and temperature inversions permit.

Using two monitors is essential for my online business life. I recently started having trouble with one of the monitors that I've had for about two years. It could have been the cable, but the dysfunction was showing up on the screen. I decided to order a new monitor overnight because I have too much work to do to limp along. I was impressed with the ease of set up, and the color quality. The first one I was able to get with free overnight delivery, with it arriving before 8 AM the next morning. I decided to get a matching one, rather than a cobbled together computing environment. That one took a couple of days, but it was worth the wait. This brand isn't a familiar name to me, but I'm a fan. The visual clarity is outstanding. Colors are rich and vibrant. I'm quite pleased with these monitors, which I was able to get for a reasonable price.

Opinion after 1 week of use -- PROS: - Very good price for the quality - Great color gamut - Good refresh rate (100hz) - Good form factor (thin bezels, fairly light, easy to put together and move around.) - Decent resolution (1080p is enough for most daily tasks, but 1440p may be more preferable for gaming, and 4K for movies/video.) - Has not had any connectivity issues (yet). - Not ugly MAIN CON: Despite being advertised as an "HDR-Ready" display with an "HDR mode", it *DOES NOT SUPPORT HDR!!!* The "HDR Mode" just saturates the display colors and increases the contrast to fake an "hdr look", but actual HDR video signals are *not* supported for any computer. If you are looking for an HDR monitor, this is not one of them. LG makes several perfectly good *actual* HDR monitors. MINOR GRIPES: - Cannot move vertical stand up and down like some monitors, only one height. Not a huge issue if you have a wall/desk mount (which this monitor does support). - 100hz is kind of a weird framerate that falls in between more common 60/144/240hz displays, so it may be a little jarring. - Obviously this isn't a high-DPI monitor. If you use a Windows laptop, your desktop icons and UI will be scaled up to fit it. If you want the ui scale to be the same as your laptop display, look for a 1440p or 4K monitor, as Windows does not support sub-100% display scaling. All in all, despite a sprinkle of just-barely-false advertising, this is a pretty good general-purpose monitor. I highly recommend it.

To be honest, and I know this is hard to believe, many years ago I had an AOC monitor that worked for 14 years without any problems, which led me to recommend AOC monitors to my family, friends, and colleagues. Without hesitation, I bought this new 27-inch monitor and gave my brother a 24-inch one. I installed the software from the manufacturer's website, called I-Menu, and since I have an Nvidia graphics card, I also installed the G-Menu software so I could access many of the monitor's options and extras with the mouse instead of using the buttons on the bottom panel. The monitor reaches 100 Hz, and the colors and image look exceptional. There has always been a belief in the gaming community that 1080p monitors look pixelated on 27" monitors, and I must say that they do, but it is not as much as people mention. Sometimes it is imperceptible and not easily noticed. You have to get very close to the screen and look at certain areas of an image to notice it, that is, it is not something that becomes uncomfortable. Therefore, I think it is worth the change to 27" at 1080p, but I must mention that if you use a 1440p monitor do not buy this monitor. I think you should be used to that level of resolution and when you buy this one you will notice a big difference. However, if you use, for example, a 24" monitor at 1080p, it is worth the change. The screen size is generous and allows you to comfortably work with two documents at the same time without much effort. I am very happy with this monitor and the price is very good for everything it offers. I hope it lasts me for many years because I love it! I definitely recommend it. I bought a stand so I could better adjust its height, and since it's a VESA-compatible monitor, I was ready for the upgrade. Now that it's at a better height, giving me a better viewing angle, I have to say the colors look better. I'm very happy with the small improvement I made to the monitor. I'm very pleased.
