AOC's New LCD Monitor Appeals to the Mac Fanboy in You

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Grungy PC users can forget about over-paying for a Mac just to appear more hip and appease that inner fanboy (which, incidentally, is now an officially recognized word). Instead, shed your PC room's fashion faux pas with AOC's new 22-inch 2218Ph LCD monitor, or so the company implies. AOC claims its new monitor "finally brings PC users the element of style Mac users have enjoyed for the last few years." In addition to 'state-of-the-art metallic workmanship,' the $429.99 2218Ph touts:

  • 12,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
  • HDCP-compliant HDMI input
  • 2ms response time
  • 1680 x 1050 native resolution
  • Illuminating touch key control

Of course, if you're trying to impersonate a Mac user, take extra caution when others are around. Removing the side panel to upgrade a crucial component or firing up a bevy of games are surefire ways of exposing yourself as an uncouth PC user, even if you're wearing jeans and sipping a Starbucks.

In this day and age of s*** monitor marketing, panel type (tn, SIPS, PVA...) should always be mentioned in previews and reviews. this is a TN panel, no? yet they show photoshop on it, how ironic.

It's listed as FRC 8-bit (16.2 million), which would seem to indicate a 6-bit TN + FRC.
