We recently got the Cheapest 4K Monitor on Amazon for $180; now we’ve got a cheap 1080P display from AliExpress.. but can it compete?

It's cheap Chinese. Not even the name is accurate. Everything about this monitor is a lie, like virtually all cheap Chinese crap...

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

I wouldn't trust a cheap no name monitor to last, or to not have dead pixels after using it.

 

Also, again with these damn titles. I thought this thread was gonna be someone asking about help picking a monitor out on that hell-forsaken website. LMG, you really need to work on those titles...

You bought a monitor with reviews you knew were fake. Seems like you sabotaged yourself there.

That was the point?

You might wanna check this menu if they actually have speakers. It's stupid that it no longer shows up when you rightclick the volume icon in taskbar like in windows 7 . This is the most useful shit when you want to diagnose sound problems in windows, be they playback or mic related.

I can't understand why back buttons can't be arranged in cross formation with OK in the middle and BACK underneath. This way you don't even have to use awkward dot on the button and remember which is where, especially when buttons are linearly placed and up and down are in same horizontal line. That's so monumentally retarded I can't express myself how. With cross arranegement you know what button does with orientation of them alone. And OK in the middle is your orientation point. I don't think I've seen it on any monitor yet, only on LCD TV's. It's like TV manufacturers are decades ahead with this...

Looks like an AOC judging from the OSD... but the only time i saw one this bad was when my old boss bought an HD+ widescreen 20" or so ... for about 1/3 of what a 22-24" FullHD used to cost back 5-6 years ago ... You can coax some better images out of it if you manually adjust the colors on it . Factory settings always seem to be off for me.

I love to see reviews where they open up cheap hardware to point out where corners were cut. I wish you had opened up the back to verify speakers are missing. It could be user error on your part. Also, be interesting to know who manufactured the display panel even though I agree that poor supporting electronics can make even a good panel look bad.

 

BTW, I would NEVER buy a monitor, any monitor, direct from China!  I do buy cheap parts direct  for playing around with Raspberry pi projects.
