One question. Do you need any gaming consoles to use it or is it already windows powered?
Best quote ever… "Maybe Amazon is doing something right…!"
Me with a 59hz refresh monitorWtf is he talking about 60 to 75 hertz?
Is this monitor good for photo and video editing?
You can get a view sonic monitor for like less than 50usd… It's 1080 and 100hz…
How do u turn the speaks down tho
When you are looking for complaints but only find one. Just born does not know about D-Sub. It is a low-price monitor which let me tell you is worlds better than low price monitors from my time.
Just got this for 73 bucks on eBay. Using it as a work from home monitor and can’t complain at all. Makes work better!
What’s the brightness level in term of nits?
Just got it for $50 lol
I have the exact same OSD on a decade-old AOC monitor
0:34 AOC….. just a rebrand
LOL Amazon raised the price to $165 already
I wonder if it is simply an AOC monitor manufactured in a lower-cost facility. Like AOC builds in Korea (just an example, no idea if that is correct) with the Amazon version is built in Thailand (again, just an example.) Brand "X" products assembled in third-party facilities has long been a way to get a more economical product line.
Sorry, 27" max 1080p does suck. Better to get a free giveaway that buy a crappy new monitor. Sorry. Anyone want my old 1080? It's better than Amazon Basics. Please?
AOC monitors are great
That brand is suck!
I hate the idea of walking into an office and seeing "Amazon Basics" plastered everywhere.
"For gaming you want 120 or 144 Hz minimum"

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined…
