AOC product page on it: https://au.aoc.com/product_5757_24G2E5_ ... TRALIA.php
User manual: http://aocmonitorap.com/upload_files/do ... 9-6001.pdf

Just placed an order for this monitor because I was looking for something that has a Display port, 75hz, Slim bezel and important for me - auto input selection (makes it easy to switch between work and personal computer).

I couldn't find any cheaper options so I think this is a good deal. I couldn't find any reviews for it, looks like a new 2020 model.

Yikes that AOC official page is full of errors and manipulated and exaggerated images though.

Which manufacturer doesn't have the exaggerated images? Kinda hard to show a lot of the things using still images.

Website and manual mentions FreeSync as well.

Quite a drop in quality vs the previous deal which consisted of 2 HP monitors. AOC is a cheap manufacturer, I wouldn’t qualify this as an interesting deal.

Other than Brand and Price, what makes this lower quality? Specs seem better in every way.

I am also a bit wary about AOC, can someone shed some light on their quality?

I had an AOC monitor a few years ago. It lasted 8 months and I ended up throwing it away. The warranty and communication process with AOC is terrible at best. On the other side, HP’s process is much more efficient and customer centric.

I don’t know if it’s still available. It was 2 HP 24es monitors available at the warehouse for 345$.

They are a cheaper manufacturer but they have some great monitors out there. I can't speak specifically to this model however.

AOC is fine as a manufacturer I would put them in the same tier as Benq or Asus.

While the HP deal was cheaper, those monitors were only 60hz, has no adapative sync, no displayport, and not VESA compatible.

AOP has been around for a long time, didn't know they are still making monitors.

On Sale for $289! Hot Deal - I think.

I bought them at full price and I have 0 complaints. Colors are sharp, Blacks are dark, no light bleed. Lots of features and options in the menus.
