I'm happy enough with this monitor, I replaced another brand 27" monitor and lost about half an inch in actual visible screen size which was disappointing but such is life with monitors.

It's a big monitor with a HDMI hookup but the HDMI port was faulty so I took it back. Had the HDMI port worked it would have been okay. Although I will say it is very large for a desk setup. When sitting in a normal position I couldn't see the whole screen at the same time... had to scroll left to right to take it all in. Ultimately, I got a 24 inch for $130... the 3 extra inches weren't worth it in my mind given the same 1920 x 1080 max resolution.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Ease of setup,good picture/build quality,very cheap.
What's not so great: Nothing.
Easy to setup you just plug it in and play.
The display looks very good ,nice colors no blurring/ghosting/whatever.
While it is the cheapest for it's size (and even cheaper than quite a few much smaller monitors) of all the monitors I have seen (at the time of my purchase) it is still very well built.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Picture, Brightness, Size, PRICE
What's not so great: NOTHING
I have to say I was a little skeptical about buying a brand I was not familiar with. But this product has surpassed my expectations. For the price point for the size and the included free shipping I decided what the heck. Glad I choose this over the big name brand models which were close to $100 more. I have no dead or stuck pixels. I came from a 20" HP with a resolution of only 1600x900 and you can see the difference right off hand. 7" may not seem like a lot, but if you've ever seen a 27" iMac sitting next to the 21.5" iMac, you can see the size difference. Now all I need is a bluray drive and I'll be all set. Buy this, you wont regret it. And from what I can see, this monitor looks exactly like the $450 Planar 27" model. So don't waste your money just because of name. This has the picture you want for a price you can't beat.
HINT: If you have a discrete graphics card, make sure it's over-scan settings are set to zero or it will not fill the whole monitor. I had to figure this out on my own. For some reason, I have the HDMI cable plugged in but I didn't have the option to auto scale.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The monitor looks ok if you are directly in front of it. However, placing it on an elevated monitor pedestal or looking at it from an angle makes the screen appear to darken; sort of like those big projection TVs from the 90s. My last monitor had no problems at all. I would recommend spending a little more money on a more established brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Nice, Big and Cheap
What's not so great: No problems so far!
When I first saw these monitors online they were always sold out. There were no reviews which had me worried. I had bought 3 Dell 23" LED monitors and they were pretty good. Then of course shortly after buying and setting them up I found these available for purchase so I ordered 3 quickly, returned the Dells.
Now I use 2x 5870 ATI cards in Eyefinity or split displays depending on the need. I can use three separate screens when doing work or school materials, works great, large easy to read. Or I run games at 5760x1080 resolutions, the main reason I wanted 3 of the same manufacturer (bezel adjustment requirement). I play a lot of racing titles with a wheel, FPS like Black Ops, MMOs are the best, Rift, DCUO, Everquest 2 all run great I will say with my build WoW is a pain, can't use Eyefinity, DirectX 11, 8 Gigs of memory and 3 screens screws up the memory allocation in WoW which is set to low, then it actually runs slower in CrossFire (ATI SLI). I mention that because WoW is popular and people might wonder, when they should wonder why a company making that kind of money can't fix issues that new IPs are doing problem free in Beta.
The reality is when do you notice your monitor is not producing the right colors really? When you replace it with the new one. It works great for what I use it for. Hulu, Netflix or a DVD on the right screen, my paper on the center and reference on the left screen. Oh and the buttons are on the bottom so if you set them side to side you don't hide your buttons.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Excellent value, great display, HUGE
What's not so great: Mirror finish, needs setup out of the box and it wasn't free ;)
No, this isn't going to be as good as a display from Apple or a higher end display from NEC/Samsung/Viewsonic. No the colors are not perfect. No, bunnies and kittens do not thank you for purchasing this monitor.
However... fiddle with the settings and what you'll find is that this monitor is, in fact, fantastic. I have run it through MMORPG's, FPS' and high intensity movies. There has been no ghosting and no image tearing. The image is crisp and the colors are great (once you've adjusted).
With the size of the monitor you need to make sure that it is at least 3 or 4 feet away from your head. Sitting close to it will make you scan up and down/left and right to see the entire picture.
I'm 100% amazed by this purchase. I was expecting mediocrity and I recieved a gem. If I had the desk space and GPU power I would buy three. Don't bother with anything else unless you're dropping money on a high quality display for 100% accurate color reproduction. This is as good as price/performance gets under the $1000 mark.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Great and spacious HDMI display at a low cost.
What's not so great: VGA limits are really noticible at 27".
I don't tend to like to buy new equipment that hasn't been reviewed or is a new product entry from a manufacturer (experienced or otherwise).
When I had to replace a business laptop, the high-resolution display I had (1920 X 1080) was replaced by a smaller screen (1280 X 800). I decided to create an extended desktop environment. As I researched the latest in display monitors, I came across this AOC 27" HDMI monitor. I had used AOC monitors (bottles) long ago and had no complaints. Given the incredibly low price, I decided to give this one a try. So far, I'm glad I did.
My new laptop has a DisplayPort. With a DisplayPort-HDMI adapter, it seemed that I should be able to drive a second screen at 1920x1080. It's worked beautifully.
The AOC's high contrast ratio and fast refresh rate, combined with a spacious 27" widescreen display makes for a very comfortable and productive work environment for a wide variety of applications (business, graphics, video).
I will definitely be upgrading other monitors in my studio with this model. Definitely a great value for the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!
