AOC monitors ok?

[farns]

I heard in forums that the 17" one is ok and they are $50 less than Phillips with similar specs, I was thinking of getting the 19" 9klr true flat screen for $650 odd, anyone used one?

I was gonna get an auriga 19" but I heard its blurry and if the AOC 19" is as good as the 17" ones sound might be the go.
I know KJ will say u get what u pay for ;P but they seem good value .

[KingJackal]

I've never tried large Auriga's or AOC's.

Only Philips', Mitsubishis, Viewsonics, Proviews, IBMs, Sonys and MAGs. :(

D@MNIT - wish I could get a job for a hardware retailer. I'd get to try all these other brands out! lol.... ;)

[Artifice]

theres a thought,
see you down at hardley normals with a blue shirt on at $7:50/hour or whatever it is they pays. trying to push the kids off the demo machine saying. no this is how joo doo eet.
aargh no wheres the non optical ownage gone. hehehe.

Hardley Normals pay pretty well I have heard. I work in that industry part time - I normally get between $15-20 an hour. A lot more moeny at Hardley though - around $10-13 retainer and then 5-10% GP commission. Thats about $20-40 an hour if you sell like a maniac. "no this is how joo doo eet" Heh hee!

A good question is what 19" compromises the best mix between image and $ for somebody who is cheap? What $ would you pay to get the same kwality as a cheap philips 17" flat in a 19"?

I got an AOC 7Klr recently (17") And its a lot better than the price would indicate.
True flat screen, .21 dot pitch and resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 !

*note: not officially supported, but my drivers allow it

High frequencies too...

Its certinly got the features of a much more expensive brand.

Heh, I saw a 17" CTX today (new) that can only do 1280x768, in other words the Klr series offer features that used to be avalible on only the most expensive monitors.

Have you checked http://www.aocmonitor.com/default.asp ?

I know a couple of ppl with them. They swear by them for quality and correctness of colour. Seem to be on of the best value for money brands. :)

[Geek4Life]

I've got the AOC 7Klr and it is very good, is cabable of 1600*1200@75Hz :D *mumbles about onboard video that can only do it @60Hz and in High Colour* :(

[DiscoStu]

*looks down at long list of "things to do"*
I'll put together an AOC review soon*ish*. ;)

[dustyslapper]

One or two budget 19" - Auriga, Proview, AOC, Philips, V.Sonic would be a really useful review.

I don't wanna get greedy though :D

[dairyboy]

Treated myself to AOC 7klr (17' pure flat screen) at christmas, and it seems to be an impressive monitor for the $$

Colors are sharp and vibrant and supports high resolutions/frequencies.

Ive got another two friends with AOC, one is 7glr, about two years old? And it still has a great picture, with no faults.
Other got a 7klr like mine and he is really stoaked too.

damn man, text must be damn small if u can run 2048 x 1536! does it actually work very well at this res?

[Gh0s7 L3mUr]

Can't say I'd personally use that setting but it is one hell of a feature.
I'm seriously looking at their 19" models instead of Philips or Viewsonic.

[Geek4Life]

The 7Klr most certainly is nice. I'd definitely give a larger one a go.

[Py7h0n]

I got a 19" Klr .... IT ROCKS. .... well it is better then my friends $2000 Viewsonic one :D

Image quality >good in comparason with the Sony tubed Viewsonic

blurryness..... NONE

and the 19" is way better than the 17" (BIGGER IS BETTER)

Where did you get yours and for how much? Styles used to have them on his site but doesn't seem to anymore.

[Py7h0n]

I got mine from Compulink Auckland

www.compulink.co.nz

$600

(Oh yeah the box the monitor comes in is HUGE, I mean I had to pull it out of it's box right there at the store to get it home :()

Pity that's with out gst. Still not a bad price for what you get.

Just stumbled upon these fellows the other day.

Some nice AOC prices:
http://www.nfc.co.nz/p_list.asp?class='F'

[Gh0s7 L3mUr]

Is that bit about .21 for real? If so that's so damn good. Most monitors I've seen are .25 to .27

[DiscoStu]

check out the AOC site.

From memory that is the horizontal (or possibly vert) dp.

[farns]

Holy crap those NFC prices are low, if you've had any dealings with them are they wholesalers only? Do they sell to general public?

[DiscoStu]

I'm not too sure.

I think they sell to the public, otherwise the price list wouldn't be as easily visable.
