I'm looking at adding a pair of 23" monitors for surround gaming, and the AOC I2369VM 23", have caught my eye. The main reasons being price, at £125 and having display port they are a bargain. The bezel is also nice and small 10mm plus the few mm for the black border on the screen takes it up to about 15mm so still thin, the only down side is they only come in silver, there are a few adds of it coming in black, but they were early pre release samples and not for sale. The only negative point I have found is the stand is wobbly but to me it's not an issue as once it is set up unless you live on a boat it isn't going anywhere.  ( I might get 3 so my Asus doesn't look odd ) My system consists of an MSI Z87 XPower, i5 4770k 4.2 @ 1.050v 2 x HD7970's and 16gb 2300 Avexir ram. 

 

           Has any one had any good / bad experiences with AOC ? From having a look around I can't find many negative comments to not buy a a pair or 3, heck just saving £80 on not having to buy an active display port adapter is almost a good enough reason in itself to go ahead. 

MSI Z87 XPower, I5 4670k, 4x4gb Avexir MPower, 2 x HD7950, XFX Pro750w, Intel 335 180gb boot, 250gb Samy pro games, 60gb OCZ Vertex music, Monsta 420,ST30 360, 140mm / 120mm Akasa Vipers in push pull, D5 Vario, Koolance top, Bitspower ZMulti250, Fesser Fittings all round, Mayhems sunset Yellow, 32" LG monitor, 23" Asus monitor, Microlab Solo 7c's, Bheringer MS20's, R.A.T7, Steelseries Merc Stealth

That has got to be the cheapest IPS panel from a bigger brand that I've ever seen. The AOC screens I have seen (TN panels mainly) have been on par with Samsung equivalents. I don't see a reason not to go for 3 of them at that price. :)

I'm using an AOC F22 with VGA only, it flickers a lot, and the viewing angles are horrible. However, the rest of AOC's products are pretty good, so if the money and performance is right, go for it.

My PC (codenamed Genesis) - Corsair Air 540, i5 4690k, ASUS ROG Maximus VII Ranger, EVGA Geforce GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0, 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM @ 1600MHz, 240GB Samsung 840 SSD, Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD, CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler (not in case), EVGA SuperNova G2 750W PSU, Asus ROG Swift PG2789Q monitor, Logitech G502 mouse, and Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard (brown switches)

So I ended up cancelling the order, and buying 3 locally for £300 from a shop that was closing down. And my god what a stroke of luck. I live in a tiny village with 1 shop a post office and a computer repair  shop( said loosely ) So I pooped in and he had 3 AOC I2369VM  the exact monitor I was looking at. To top it off they were 100% pixel perfect. So with the £100 I saved I was able to invest in a triple desk stand.

 

            Overall I'm very impressed with them, for the usual price of, £140 each they are are bargain, so £100 each was even sweater. There is no light bleed, and the blacks are spot on. The only down fall is, the screen at the bottom is mounted back from the bottom bezel, so when you try and line them up when the bottom corners join there is a gap all the way up. I can either dremel the corners to 30 degrees or the trick a friend mentioned. You have the side screens slightly behind the middle one. I have given it a try and the pictures do match a whole lot better it just might take some getting used to.

 

          So for the price, plus the DP input, I can't recommend these monitors enough.
