AOC’s new 22-inch LCD monitor means the monitor that meets both sytle and performance. I am all impressed with the device’s design and performance.It’s got a piano black glossy finish on the front and diamond cut texture engraved rear cover. The front also sports a silver lining at the bottom and a user-friendly navigation ring. This is one of the few first 22” LCD displays to boast of an HDMI port and is also capable of acting as a standalone media player. Apart from the HDMI ports, this LCD has DVI and D-sub inputs, a 4-in-1 card reader and two USB ports on the side. The USB ports are for the Digital Media Player Engine; you just plug in your media via a pen drive or memory card, and play it keeping the PC out of the equation. The monitor houses two hidden 2W speakers and the output is simply great; loud sound without any blaring even at high volumes.
