Mon, 21 Jan 2013 AOC M2460Phu LCD monitor review

Looking for a monitor with near-IPS quality but a lower price?

Duncan Evans

Manufacturer: AOC
Manufacturer: AOC
Pros: True 24-bit colour, good viewing angles, decent refresh rate, very good tonal range, very well built, rotating stand, no light leak
Cons: Variation in display at viewing angles from the centre inherent in MVA panels, not that much cheaper than an IPS panel
Price: £190
We rate this 4 out of 5.Star rating:

Macworld Buying Advice

This monitor is solid, well built, has a rotating, telescopic stand and very consistent colour and brightness throughout. The only real flaw is the variation in the display inherent in MVA technology and this may put you off if you’re a photographer. Otherwise it really is significantly better than TN-quality panels. The key factor then is price and on the street this is around £190 or slightly under. That makes it cheaper than an IPS panel, but not by a lot so. If you need the extra quality then it makes sense to go for a good IPS panel but otherwise, this is a cheaper option, and in fact, is better than some IPS panels we’ve seen.
