Thread: AOC 2217 Pwc Monitor

It's a good looking monitor but the fact that it integrates speakers doesn't excuse the rather broad bezel. The piano finish is quality. The stand is very big for a monitor that doesn't have any kind of height adjust, and it managed to fool us that it did have this feature till we used it. Three USB ports add some connectivity options. The contrast ratio isn't too good as a couple of quick DisplayMate tests revealed. This dismal performance continued in the 16 shade intensity test where we couldn't discern any difference between two or three of the most intense shades for each colour.



Due to its lack of a proper colour rendition, contrast calibrating was a chore. While it performed decently at games like EEAR (no worse than the HP L2208w) it didn't do as well at movies and we recommend you avoid this panel for any kind of serious multimedia Pc. At Rs 16,000 the AOC 2217Pwc is slightly costly, but it does have a serious competitor in Dell, who manages to outdo it on all fronts, including price. One position is its decent performance in the geometry tests along with its competitive price (compared to the HP) which make it a decent buy for an office monitor.
