Low price, sharp picture, good contrast

Flickering issues particularly when running VGA, some colour errors

The AOC 212VA isn't at the top of the monitor pack, but considering the price tag, this 22in display is good value for money for those looking to make the leap into the widescreen PC display market.

Low price; decent image quality; movies and games look good; integrated speakers aren't bad; HDCP support; neat and trim design.

Can't match competing LCDs on brightness; struggled to produce colors near peak white; evident backlight bleed, even under normal conditions; no USB ports.

The AOC 212Va-1 LCD monitor sticks to the basics and does it well, delivering a better-than-average but not terribly bright image at a low price, but sacrificing extras that you may not need anyway along the way.

Goo Monitor, Has all the features of some of the more expensive ones. Great price

Speakers are a little cheap, not that it matters to me

Cheap for a 22". Clean design and solid construction (but see no tilt below). Other than dead pixel, overall picture quality was good

One dead pixel at dead center, which is too distracting. Returned it to a local B&M store. No tilt, but that may be OK depending on user; one less thing to break. Internal speakers were poor, but somewhat expected
