Back in the days of my computer building era, I used to only trust one brand of monitor. That brand was Envision. They had the highest quality monitors at an affordable price. Yeah, I could pony up for a Viewsonic or Sony, but the Envision gave me that same great quality at a much lower price point. I remember having a huge 19? flat tube monitor sitting on my desk in San Diego. The advent of the LCD monitor changed everything in the world of ergonomic computing. When I first heard of AOC, I had no idea who they were. I later found out that Envision and AOC were one in the same. I was excited to have the opportunity to review the AOC e2243FW LED monitor. It would be my first experience with an LED and also the first time I would setup a secondary monitor to my system.
The stats of the 2243 are shocking. Firstly, it’s one of the worlds thinnest monitors. It’s about as thin as an OLED or a copy of one of those thick issues of Diehard Gamefan at only 1.29cm. It has a dynamic contrast ration of 50,000,000:1. That means very deep blacks and vibrant colors. It’s a low powered monitor and only consumes 15 watts of power. It uses LED touch buttons on the base to control menu options and cycle power. The 2243 is about 21.5? in viewable size. It also has a 16:9 aspect ratio so will be a tad wider than most LCD monitors and also will allow full edge to edge viewing of widescreen 16:9 films.
