Our AOC 22' LCD Monitor

The LCD monitor is connected to our PC (via DVI-out) and to our xbox 360 console (via VGA-out). We bought the monitor for the PC, of course. Who would've thought that after two years, xboxes and pc monitors can be married to each other... or in our case, have a threesome.

Two years ago, when LCD monitors marked the beginning of the end of the CRT era and when every desktop owner drooled in their majestic crystal screens, the AOC LCD monitors didn't really make the first choice among consumers. Samsung and LG outshined it with their sensual and shiny black glass looks, not to mention the overwhelming functionalities where only the manufacturers' engineers understood.

Since 1998, AOC has always been our brand of choice when it came to monitors. We never had problems despite its old age. We purchased our LCD monitor 2 years ago for P13,500 against Samsung's P18000-P22,000. It was a good price during that time.

However, this monitor is just a monitor - not a tv, just a monitor. No speakers nor webcams. It's just a monitor. Since it's one of the 1st generation LCD monitors, image quality is not that bright compared to the newly released ones.

It has a DVI and VGA out, and an s-video out (which until now we have no idea on how to use it).

Yet if you have us choose between AOC and other brands, we will remain AOC loyalists.
