The panels in hem are the same as you'll find in other monitors, just with their branding, casing, and firmware.

You're pretty safe with AOC, not the best for gaming though.

If you're going 60hz and TN as a value option, you can really go with any monitor and have the same experience.

But if you wanna game, and you have big bucks, the BenQ 120hz+ monitors or the asus 144hz variant are top notch!

I prefer Asus, Dell, or Samsung when it comes to monitors.

 

But AOC tends to be budget friendly at times.

I like the look of most of their monitors and I haven't heard anything about them being unreliable.  They put the display controllers in the stand base on a few of their displays though which means you can't remove the stand for mounting.

AOC's IPS monitors are good in terms of colour, image quality and even response times. Their AH-IPS monitors are in fact good for gaming as well with little motion blur.

 

The problem with AOC's is the build quality. They just feel cheap and flimsy. Also most of them don't have DVI or displayport.
