Chicane-UK Veteran Posted June 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2004 OK.. so it might not be as good as some of the pricey ones you can buy out there, but I have been in the market for a new monitor (specifically a TFT) for some time now.. went to a computer fair today and found this one. Its an AOC apparently, with 3 years on site warranty, its 19", its Grade A with no dead pixels that I can see.. DVI & Composite (currently attached via the DVI - nice and sharp) with a USB hub in the back.. Very impressed so far - Windows is amazingly crisp, even better than my Iiyama Vision Master Pro 455 that it replaced.. games aren't stunning, but still more than playable.. Cost me ?369:)) The generic Dell E172FPb I was considering buying was around ?270 in most places, so I figured another ?100 for another 2 inches of screen space was probably worth :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted June 26, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2004 Can't find a great deal of information on this monitor on the net.. in fact I can't find anything. Which is obviously always a bit worrying.. so if anyone owns one or know a little more about the Dot Pitch / Response time / etc then i'd be greatful - only model number I can find is : TFT1980A+ Cheers.

Jonathan Downin Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Hey man, congrats. Usually I would agree that if you can't find many facts on the net about it it seems a bit shady. But you got a 3 year warranty so should be ok. Plus, if you like it and thinks it looks good, then screw the specs. Looks nice BTW. Enjoy! :yes: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelly2003 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Its an AOC apparently, with 3 years on site warranty, its 19", its Grade A with no dead pixels that I can see.. DVI & Composite (currently attached via the DVI - nice and sharp) with a USB hub in the back.. AOC are a good brand apparently, I have read good things about them, in fact one of their monitors got the "Editor's Choice" award for a few months in a magaziene that I collect. I'm pretty sure you would have gotten yourself a good unit there. Any chance you could list the specs? On a side note.... I don't think your decision to buy from the computer markets was good because if somthing goes wrong you might warranty issues, I hope you get the supplier's full business details. I've had a couple of dramas where I couldnt get a part replaced because of dodgy dealers at the computer fair. Make sure you keep a record of when and where you bought it.

insanekiwi Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 yay for tft! i got rid of my 19" crt years ago, my new 17" is da bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricDemon Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 we have AOC TFT displays at work, damn good for the price, although ?360+ maybe a bit too steep. Saying that though I dont know what the retail prioces for these things are as we get them at trade discounts. Going to get myself one when I'm next at our suppliers.

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted June 26, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2004 ?360 for a 19" TFT is pretty good from what I can tell.. i've been looking into getting one for a month or two and have been watching the prices like a hawk. We just bought a pair of 18.1" LG L1800P monitors for work (?420), and whilst the features are nice the picture quality just doesn't seem better than this AOC I just bought.. so i'm very happy. And yeah, it seems to be that LM917 that someone posted previously., except with DVI Input instead.. so instead its the LM91:):) http://www.aoc-europe.com/monitors_lm919.html# I didn't notice it had crappy speakers built into the base - I didnt want any as I already have Cambridge DTT3500's.. never noticed them until I got the monitor home. Oh well! Oh.. and wallpaper was from her:):) http://www.pixelhuset.se/pixelhuset.html#Desktops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
