Question 1

I'm looking at this monitor for my son. I've bought him the Alienware Alpha i5 system and need a monitor. The price is what I really like. Would you still purchase this monitor? Any pro's or con's?

Thank you!  :-)

Accepted Answer

So far I have no complaints about the monitor. I use it primarily for school work which involves me staring at the monitor for extended periods of time. I have noticed significantly less strain on my eyes compared to my laptop screen or my schools computers, over similar periods of time.

Assuming the Alienware is for gaming, the response time on this monitor is top notch, but it does not utilize more modern 200+hz refresh rates, which honestly isn't very noticeable.

Overall, for the price you pay, I have to say this is one of the better monitors I've had/used. One small issue with my order is that the screw for the stand was missing, and it took them over 3 weeks to ship me a new one.

Question 2

Does this monitor have a DVI input? The AOC user manual indicates this model should have one, but the pic here doesn't show one.

Accepted Answer

No, there is no DVI port on the monitor; there is only VGA and HDMI.

Question 3

Does this monitor have noticeable light leaking around the edges?

Accepted Answer

I have 2 screens and see no visible light leaking around the edges.

Question 4

Hello, I ordered the monitor recently and it did not come with a screw for the monitor stand... Am I suppose to buy one separately?

Accepted Answer

The one I ordered had a screw with the components. It must have been a packaging error for you.

Question 5

Does it include speakers?

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't include speakers.

Question 6

Can the monitor tilt up and down? this information is missing from the specs

Accepted Answer

Yes it can tilt up and down, even side to side. the base is a little unstable though every time I fidget my leg my desk shakes and so does the monitor, I have a second monitor its an Asus it has a more stable base which doesn't shake as much but its a crystal clear monitor.

Question 7

how many hertz?

Accepted Answer

60hz

Question 8

Can the Anti-Blue Light Technology be turned on and off at will?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, this thing doesnt even come with an owner's manual that explains what each feature in the on-screen menu does. There is no such menu toggle as "ABLT" or anything that would remotely suggest that it is referring to "anti blue light". The screen looks fine though. There is one called DCS but i think that is "Dynamic Contrast S[something]".

Just buy the screen because it is cheap and it works perfectly, and it supports VESA (in case you wanna use multimonitor set ups). This blue light stuff is kind of a gimmick from what i know because i just never found it. I am happy with the monitor though, and if blue light bothers you just change the color temperature and lower the brightness. It isnt a fancy bell/whistle type of thing to be honest, every monitor can do those two things and will probably have a similar result anyway.

Question 9

Is this monitor Freesync or G-sync?

Accepted Answer

Neither.

Question 10

Does the Anti-Blue light technology give the screen more warm or orange appearance, similar to display screens using f.lux (color warming software to match indoor lighting)?

Accepted Answer

The monitor has a very bright, almost faded appearance. I, personally, don't like it too much, but after doing my own research, apparently most people love it and it's a plus. I don't get it myself, but that is what I found.
