I needed a cheep good monitor as a second monitor, and, for the price payed £121 ( on sale) it was extremely good. I had trouble getting the refresh rate up but: How to increase refresh rate on windows: - go to display settings - click advanced display settings - click display adapter properties - go to monitor tab - change refresh rate I would recommend setting it to the same as your primary monitor as this will (almost) remove all performance drops. It’s got great colour right out the box although as always I would recommend googling some good colour settings for the best colour grading. It’s super easy to set up and it comes with HDMI, Display Port, and Power cable. So no need to worry about buying more cables unlike some other monitors (cough, cough, ASUS). My biggest struggle wasn’t even todo with the monitor but finding good wallpapers that are dual monitor in this config. If you’re considering it as a primary or even secondary vertical monitor. This is a good cheep affordable price, and it looks great with a non invasive stand. But what’s the rotation like? The rotation is good, it can go portrait however only one way from landscape the tilt up and down are good, with a large up told capability from neutral. I am however unable to find any left to right tilt without moving the whole stand however this may be my own oversight. It comes with somewhat easy manuals to understand. The most useful being the quick start one. Honestly if you are considering a monitor even as a primary, this is a fantastic easy to set up high quality monitor. If I am able to i will update this review down the line and let you all know how it is going. Thank you!

The monitor itself is overall quite nice and was decent value at the time of purchase on offer. I particularly like the ability to rotate and maneuver the monitor easily to adjust the viewing position. Unfortunately, after 4 - 5 months, similar to other reviewers the monitor now has red/green horizontal and vertical lines when it has been woken up from being suspended and sometimes during the initialisation after powering on my PC. They are starting to remain longer for a few minutes at a time, but eventually disappear once the monitor has been on for a bit. Initially it started off for maybe 10 - 15 seconds, but does seem to be increasing quite quickly. I contacted AOC support and they just gave advice, such as changing refresh rates, using dedicated display ports, swapping ports and cables. I have yet to try these, but I'm not optimistic, as it's a clear sign the monitor is partially faulty and AOC did not offer a replacement at all. I'm not overly hassled as it was cheap, but I will be reluctant to purchase an AOC monitor again, as I've never experienced this before with any other monitor I've owned. I would advise to avoid AOC and look for a different brand, unless the monitor is on offer and extremely cheap, but even then it may be best to avoid... EDIT: I temporarily fixed it, by changing my refresh rate in my display settings. This only lasted a few weeks and would come back randomly, but changing the refresh rate fixed it. I now have 5-6 permanent thin lines running across the entire screen near the top. You can see it depending on the background color contrast. I haven't moved my monitor and it has just progressed since my original review. I may contact AOC support again to see if a refund or replacement is possible, as it is only like 6-7 months old. I don't think much will be offered.

The quality is very good, the price is more than fair, it’s very responsive, and you can adjust the height and the angle. I haven’t notice any flickering when playing fps, the colour accuracy and quality are good.

Great monitor and the colours look amazing, compared to my old one the pictures seems really smooth with the refresh rate and the colours pop a lot more with the brightness, and for a 24 inch monitor it seems massive, can’t wait to order another for a dual monitor setup!!

No problems apart from difficulty getting the built in speakers to work. Looks great otherwise would 5 star if I could get the audio to work would appreciate help if anyone else experienced trouble with the speakers.

Most defo works i had it for 2+ year and no problems and defo feels like i’ve got an advantage

This screen began to fail after 5-6 months, and is unuseable after around 14 months. Same issue of multiple coloured lines in the screen. I wont buy AOC again.

A brilliant quality low price 165hz monitor, I use mainly for monitoring obs, youtube, Spotify 2nd monitor, it doesnt have built in sound, but I use external speakers. Its super lightweight, very sturdy, with a resolution of 165hz and the buttons on the monitor make it really easy to use and set up.
