Dang Jay, your monitor preferences are spot on. No one else mentioned fake bezelness and crap buttons/controls.

[@pirojfmifhghek566]

No kidding. That's one of the most annoying things about modern monitors. If you regularly have to switch back and forth between different presets because you use the same monitor for gaming and editing, it's so goddamn annoying to fiddle around with the unseen buttons.

[@Neanderthal75]

My LG monitor drove me nuts, because there was no manual mode to stay on the DVI or HDMI, regardless what was plugged into the other port. For example, I was setting up mini pcs so I used empty HDMI port , but then the stupid monitor would immediately switch away when the mini pc would reboot, just EXACTLY the time when I needed it to stay on that screen because I was trying ot access BIOS. Of course the other issue is placing the buttons in hidden places, plus the completely illogical configuration options which button does what. Right now my current monitor has a little joystick, which I prefer over 4-5 buttons in a row.

[@ArtisChronicles]

​@@Neanderthal75 I didn't even know that was a thing with monitors... I'm glad both the ones I'm using don't function that way. Not sure how they give priority, but user switching to an active input seems to retain the highest priority on mine.

I feel like it's always hit or miss with the Amazon Basics products in general. Also, I've been always happy with the quality of AOC monitors. I have 2 of their low end gaming monitors for work and a curved 4K panel for gaming. They're still reasonably priced, even in the high end category.

[@kathrynck]

I had (well technically still have) an AOC monitor which has an amazing samsung-designed panel, but the back-end and user controls are a fricken mess. It was kind of a mixed bag. Certainly useful for many people, but I wouldn't call it "good". It did hold up well. I kept hoping it would die so i'd have an excuse to replace it. But eventually I just replaced it without an excuse. I guess i have a spare backup screen now. I do visual work though, and I'm _very_ glad I finally replaced it. But I wouldn't call it a 'bad' monitor exactly.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

@@kathrynck Come to think of it, "This product is not bad exactly. It's just you'll want to replace it, will look for an excuse, and if you won't find it - will eventually replace it after months\years of tolerating it" ain't exactly a great product endorsement :) I hate haveing to tolerate stuff but then get rid of it, guess edging like that is just not my thing, suppose I'm not alone in this feeling.

It's the opposite for me with AOC. My monitor barely lasted a year so I'm avoiding them now.

[@Montisaquadeis]

The AOC portable monitors back in the 2010's where a bloody mess with displaylink. Glad the tech is basically useless now with USB-C onboard with Displayport alt mode making plenty of portable monitors cheap and effective then they use to be.

[@CaptainNamikaze]

@@mangatom192 A shame to hear that. :( Which model was it? I've bought all 3 of them in 2019 and have never had issues. The 2 I use for work are 24,5 inch standard gaming monitors and are not too different from the Amazon one shown in the video and the one I use for gaming is a 49-inch 4K AOC Agon monitor that is better than the MSI one I had previously.

10:34 Inverse ghosting (overdrive overshoot) still very much affects the _previous_ frame, but the pixel values are being overshot and instead of resetting, you get ghosting in the form of an _inverse image_ (a dark object leaves a bright afterimage).

Got to admit, I've always found front facing buttons more logical. Now I don't mind joystick controls.... Except when we are talking about a dual or triple monitor setup, the joystick is on the rear, and the monitors are placed side by side (then at least one monitor will be a real PIA to get at the controls).

But the LG 24MP59G's I had prior to that setup was fine as the joystick was in the middle at the bottom (I'm likely going to make VESA mounts on a 3D Printer and put those back into service above the GG34WQC-A for that reason).

[@typicalmountainbiker]

I bought a Viewsonic 1080p IPS 144hz in 2018 for 199 and it still works great, you just had to look. Some companies still thought it was 2014 and they could sell 1080p60 LCD monitors for a ton of money

[@reidsampey2045]

Digging the blue plaid!

[@ArtemisKitty]

Even in the Windows XP era, 85Hz was considered standard on even CRT monitors. In fact, a lot of businesses would ONLY buy monitors if they supported at least 85Hz refresh, as anything less than this has been shown to cause considerably more eye strain, although ideally you should aim for 120+ when possible. Edit: Oh! And the blue plug means it's not just VGA, but SVGA! With that, you can take full advantage of your 2MB Matrox GPU!

Thank you for another great video 👍 For PC builds starting from the very beginning, from scratch, I think monitor target performance (resolution, refresh, colors, brightness) and the target amount of total system power that people want to run are under-weighted in the designing. I know I did so, too, unfortunately. Kindest regards, neighbours and friends.

[@LBXZero]

Screen tearing happens because the output buffer on the video output port of the PC is updated with a new frame while the current/old frame was being streamed to the display device. There is a very simple fix for this fun phenomenon, 2-buffer output. While 1 buffer is streamed to the monitor, all writing to the output buffer is sent to the other buffer. At the end of frame, the output switches to the 2nd buffer, putting all writes to the 1st buffer.

[@vadnegru]

AOC is one of not many brands that still include VGA and it's cool actually. You could use it for any retro things and there are adapters to VGA that cheaper than adapters to HDMI or DP. Adaptive sync is baked in DP specifications

[@brodriguez11000]

Got mine the same way.

[@ocudagledam]

Response time is measured gray to gray because that's the worst case transition for an LCD panel. The crystals in an LCD rotate a bit whenever the panel needs to display a different shade. To get it to rotate more (like from white to black) they have to move more. However, to get them to do that, you need to apply higher voltage to the crystals. That makes them rotate faster! It turns out that the slowest transitions for an LCD aren't white to black, it's gray to gray, when difference between the starting and the end voltage is quite low and thus the pixels change more lazily. And that's why the panel speed for an LCD is measured for a certain gray to gray transition.

I see your controls at the back of the monitor and raise you a status LED that is on when the monitor is off.

[@Loki_Firegod]

Thanks for the review and info about what is and isn't worth spending money on. Regarding adaptive Sync - as I understand (I may be wrong though) it's a version of sync technology that works with both G-Sync and Freesync, so the monitor should work fine with both AMD and Nvidia cards. Hence adaptive, it adapts to your system.

[@SaltyMaud]

Other way around. VESA Adaptive sync is the underlying tech. It's hardware agnostic, adaptive doesn't refer to "adapting to your system", but adapting to the framerate, the core functionality of any Adaptive sync implementation. Freesync and G-Sync are both built upon Adaptive sync, basic Freesync and G-Sync _compatible_ are practically just the base Adaptive sync implementation rebranded.

[@Loki_Firegod]

@@SaltyMaud Thanks for the clarification!

[@MyBigRed]

I think it would be really interest to see a comparison of the Amazon minor VS the AOC branded panels. I wonder if they are basically the same or if the Amazon panel has something that makes it worth the price.

[@bashbromayhem]

I like auto detect, but only if it can be toggled off. Sometimes it can be a pain when auto detect swaps inputs during pc reboots. For example I build and setup a fair bit of new pcs, and I'll just plug it into the second hdmi port on my monitor. If I don't turn off auto detect it'll constantly swap inputs on reboots. Maybe I'm just a snob, or maybe I'm not the only one!

I'm looking to build a windows machine that can handle audio but not break the bank. right now im having a hard time with dealing with noise from the interface... and the same interface is dead silent on windows.

I am with you on the buttons on the front. Having a kvm switch button on the rear is terrible if you have monitors that are side by side, You cant reach the buttons unless you move your monitors apart. dumb. Plus pushing on a button with any forces on the rear of the monitor tends to move it a bit.. where as the front you fingers can loop around to the back to hold it.

Hi Jay, how are you doing? What about the colonoscopy? Do you have a results yet?

I'm always trying to build entry level gaming PCs,, budget 600-700 dollars. I live by a Micro Center. What would you build with that kind of budget JTC?

[@firsttyrell6484]

I'm confused. Should I buy or not?

[@Dummigame]

No

[@johnfidel1406]

I don't get it either. Title is wrong, or the entire video is wrong.

[@jds6014]

I would say since the title says AVOID, I wouldn’t buy

[@koijoijoe]

Its because they found even better deals in the middle of the video. So its good but check the description for even better alternatives.

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

The insert of him saying "there are better deals" would imply not to. However, it's not a terrible monitor either, so if you do, you're not going to necessarily hate it. But do look at the description for some better choices.
