1468770 2020-05-14 02:38:00 What is a good brand of monitor to buy these days?. Any to avoid or are they all pretty reliable?. Pato (2463)
1468771 2020-05-14 02:57:00 Depends on what you want to use it for, what size, and amount you want to spend, if its general purpose, I've been putting in AOC's for quite a while now, never had any problems and they are reasonably priced.

My Own one is a AOC 27", frame-less, looks a LOT better without all the bezil taking up real-estate.

My Sons got 2 x 24" Viewsonics - and the Picture is WOW :eek::drool Crystal clear

www.viewsonic.com


Where as Mine is Similar ( frameless) But AOC 27"

au.aoc.com

They have a 24" as well.

I put in the 24" AOC on Tuesday at my wifes work along with a new computer, The old HP LCD was sitting next to it, and the glare / Reflection from the Sun coming in and hitting the glass on the HP, it was basically impossible to look at the screen, where as the AOC , it was clear and no reflection at all. The frame-less made the old HP with its bezil look really :yuck:

1468772 2020-05-14 03:28:00 Get IPS , if you can afford it.
Some monitors have Blue reduction, supposedly better for your eyes

If you have a monitor stand you want to mount it on , make sure the monitor you buy has a 100% removable stand and stalk.
Ive bought a few differnet monitors to mount on dual desktop stands, only to find the monitors attached stand isnt fully removable, you get an ulgy stalk sticking below the monitor. Just why :mad:

Also , some have 1 year , some have 3 year warranty. 3 year makes it easier if they die.
And some warranties are zero pixel (best) , some arnt : so if some pixels die or get stuck on, it may not be covered by manufacturers warranty

I bought the cheapest new 27" I could find (cheapest from well known brands).
Its fine. Its certainly not the best display available .

Avoid : Philips , LG :-)

1468773 2020-05-14 04:34:00 I bought a second hand Samsung when my old one died. Excellent monitor, still going strong after 3 years...and how old it was before I have no idea, pretty old, it's not big. piroska (17583)
1468774 2020-05-14 04:36:00 I want to replace my Viewsonic VX2235wm which has finally given up the ghost. That info' from you both is what I was looking for and will certainly help me with my choice of replacement. I hadn't thought about using the old stand and that is where advice comes in handy.

1468775 2020-05-14 04:53:00 Wainui. That Viewsonic VX2476 looks ideal but unfortunately out of stock. Will have a look at the AOC. Thanks. Pato (2463)
1468776 2020-05-14 05:05:00 Wainui. That Viewsonic VX2476 looks ideal but unfortunately out of stock. Will have a look at the AOC. Thanks. This virus has really hit supplies HARD, obviously with stock running out from all suppliers.

And dont even ask about power Supplies :(

One of my main Suppliers, ETA's are mostly june - july, with only a few Late may.

1468777 2020-05-14 05:25:00 Some have removable Stands completely

See youtube video at approx 2.30 www.youtube.com

I know the AOC's have it, dont think that model I linked in Viewsonic does.

1468778 2020-05-14 05:45:00 Wainui. That Viewsonic VX2476 looks ideal but unfortunately out of stock. Will have a look at the AOC. Thanks. Current ETA for the VX2476 is 26th May ( 54% accurate) which means it may or may not be at that date, sometimes it can jump to a month later, all depends on shipping, and this Virus is really throwing ETA's out :( wainuitech (129)
1468779 2020-05-14 05:46:00 How does the AOC compare with the Viewsonic VX2476? Pato (2463)
