AOC LM 800 18 inch LCD Monitor

Pros: Light Weight, Clear & Bright, Uses less power than a CRT monitor
Cons: After 3 months of using it, I can't think of any.

The AOC LM800 is 18.1" viewable, bright, clear and lightweight. Wait! Don't forget affordable too! At around $500, it's a great deal. It's Everything a LCD monitor should be and after three months of using it, I will never go back to a CRT monitor. My...

Pros: Unbelivable price for a 18" LCD. Excellent picture quality.
Cons: No DVI input or portrait mode, but thats nitpicking at this price.

I bought this almost on a impulse. I was going to buy the 17" version (I already have a AOC 720) but when I saw that the 18" version was only £50 more I decided to pay the extra.
This is by far the lowest priced 18" LCD I've seen, but having used it...

This is an extremely high spec flat screen. approx 25ms reponse time, 350-1 contrast ratio, horizontal and vertical viewing angle of 160 deg, 1280 by 1024 native resolution. The price is so far below any other LCD screen with the same specs that I thought there must be something wrong with it. But I swallowed my doubts and bought it. I have to say it has been one of the best purchase I have made. Of course AOC have a new model for slightly less money with DVI now, but I dont care. Im blissfully happy with it after 5 months. The only flies in the ointment that I didnt know about when I bought it are the two dead pixels near the middle of the screen. And it seems that Redhat Linux 8 doesnt support the LM800 very well. My picture quality is worse than a CRT under linux. A fantastic product, I hope we see a lot more of AOC. Kevin Holmes.
