Thread: AOC 2434Pw

AOCs 2434Pw rounds off the large monitors. AOC uses a rather unique colour scheme - silver and piano white and quite honestly it's a refreshing change from the usual black LCDs we come across. In fact, this display is well built and has a very neat tilt mechanism. The only sore point is that the barrel of the stand pokes above the top bezel, and if the display is viewed at eye level the tip of the barrel is visible not exactly an eyesore but an aesthetic flaw to be sure.

It's resolution is exactly 1920 x 1080, meaning it's designed to be used mainly for watching movies. AOCs 2434Pw surprised us with its performance it did far better than we expected and belied its price. Owing to its TN panel, the colour rendition in Display Mate was really poor and the 256-shade ramp test revealed a highly deficient colour gamut. None of this was too evident in the movie test and other than a few glitches everything looked fine. It also has pretty decent viewing angles for a low-end display. NECs AccuSync 24WMCX didn't have as wide a colour gamut as the other two NEC displays and although it did well in the Display Mate tests we weren't impressed with it because of the price tag. It's good for movies and games, although the contrast ratio isn't as good as we'd like for bringing out the finer detail in F.E.A.R; but Crysis looked pretty good.
