Question 1

In the specifications it says there is a volume button. Does this monitor have speakers?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no.

This Monitor does not have volume control nor any speakers, to my knowledge. I just gave it a clean look-over and saw nothing. I think they lied about a couple things in the specs. Also, it isn't completely borderless, though it is the best monitor I've had for the price range. I use it daily, hours at a time, between working from home and gaming, it gets a ton of use. No issues up to this point, my favorite feature being the crisp picture and smooth finish on the screen.

Good buy.

Question 2

hdmi?

Accepted Answer

Hey Tom,,yes,  it has an hdmi port..  one thing to note.. I love the monitors but as many have commented ... the display does not display a picture all the way out to the edge of the. monitor.. the construction is clean and there is no border around the screen but that Dosnt change the fact that the  picture does not extend all the way out to the borders like the pictures show.. good luck !!

Question 3

Is this monitor's screen a matte finish, or is the screen glossy? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

This monitor has a matte finish but it is different then others on laptop/monitors I have worked with, seems like it is very fine and even though it is a matte finish it has OUTSTANDING colors and picture...to tell you the truth was way better than I was expecting from a budget IPS.
I have a more expensive HP 25" IPS that has a glossy screen and the AOC has the same color and brightness. One other thing that I will say is better is the fact the AOC has a .248 pixel pitch and it has great picture clarity at a great price. I have been very pleased with my purchase...a quality product.

Question 4

how is this monitor for gaming? like battlefield 4 etc.

Accepted Answer

This monitor is amazing for gaming! I play BF4, Titanfall, and all the new graphically intensive games; this monitor produces an awesome & clear picture that keeps you hooked!

Question 5

I have this weird black border around the screen when using VGA that's about 3mm thick (no its not the actual border if you use the stock imagine the picture is basically smaller and has this weird black border around the image so the desktop and screen space is smaller) I'm running an AMD HD 7750 2gb with the newest version of catalyst. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Accepted Answer

They all appear to have that boarder. The picture is quite misleading, because it shows that the panel is boarderless. At the same time, I new that the boarder was there from reading a couple reviews, so it wasn't a surprise. BTW, I've also read somewhere that it's impossible to have a panel without that small, but noticeable boarder, because that's a designated area for the LED lights.

Question 6

Does this monitor swivel to vertical orientation?

Accepted Answer

There is about 20 - 30 degrees of rotation/tilt available with the stand that comes with the monitor..

Question 7

I am unfamiliar with AOC monitors. Are they reliable, long-lived & a good value compared to Samsung or HP?

Accepted Answer

This was my first AOC monitor. After one year of owning one, it has no dead pixels, has survived traveling to numerous LAN parties, and hasn't skipped a beat on me once. This monitor is a tremendous money saver, especially when compared with similarly specced samsung and HP monitors.

Be aware that this monitor does NOT have VESA compatible mounting on the back, so if you are looking to mount this to a monitor stand of some sort, look elsewhere. This is my one complaint about this monitor.

Question 8

The AOC website says that this monitor is USB powered. Could anyone confirm the power source? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

It is not USB powered. It is a normal monitor.

Question 9

Does it have a DVI-D cable?

Accepted Answer

No, it only comes with a VGA cable.    It does have DVI-D inputs though.

This monitor is still looking great, I'm happy with it.   As others have stated, it's NOT bezel-less, it's narrow bezel.    The bezel is visible, and about a half an inch.   The pictures on here do not show as much as you can see.    Despite this, I still like it very much.

Question 10

Does this monitor have Wall Mounting hole?.

Accepted Answer

No, It does seem to have any method of mounting on a wall.
