About this deal

More comfortable brightness, better colour balance (no tint) with good rich look and decent vibrancy. We also briefly tested the monitor using an Nvidia GTX 670 just to see if there were any obvious colour differences. As usual the Nvidia card sent out completely the wrong colour signal to the monitor, washing out colours and hugely reducing contrast. To rectify this and make everything look as it should for PC use the following steps should be taken in Nvidia Control Panel. The AOC i2369Vm is in many ways an impressive monitor, not least for the image quality on offer at such a low price. The monitor provided a rich and fairly well balanced image straight from the box with excellent gamma performance. There was a slight colour imbalance (green tint) on our unit but the flexible and well-laid out OSD allowed this to be easily rectified. The variety and consistency of colours made for a rich and rewarding gaming and movie experience. The matte screen surface didn’t provide quite the same vibrant punch as a glossy (or semi glossy) one, but the image was far from being bland or washed out.

Image is very bright, rich and nicely varied with decent vibrancy. A slight cool green tint to the image but no issues with over (or under) saturation or crushed shades.

User reviews

The i2369Vm is part of AOC’s value range of monitors, but this 23in monitor looks anything but budget. The i2369Vm’s slim IPS panel is just 14mm deep and its slim matt silver stand and lower bezel look smart with its frameless display.

A nice design overall with very slender bezels, touches of fingerprint-resistant matte silver (plastic), VESA mounting capability and a DisplayPort input

If you want to avoid having to do these little tweaks in the graphics driver then make use of the monitor’s DisplayPort. We tested this and found everything set up optimally by default, as you’d expect from a PC-only connection. The table below gives readings for white point, average central gamma and some general observations for each ‘Gamma’ setting. To reiterate, ‘DPS’ was disabled but everything else was kept at default. The table also shows the results from our ‘test settings’ which are described subsequently.

AOC i2369Vm review - Tech Advisor

Our main system used for this review uses an AMD Radeon 7950 which was connected using the HDMI cable AOC supplied for us. There are a few tweaks you will need to make when using HDMI, which isn’t a fault of this monitor, specifically, but a problem with the graphics driver defaults. The graphics card essentially recognises anything connected via HDMI as a TV rather than a monitor which means that a suboptimal signal is sent out. On our AMD GPU we were able to increase contrast slightly and eliminate an annoying dithering effect on whites by changing the ‘Pixel Format’ to RGB instead of the default of YCbCr. Open Catalyst Control Centre and navigate to ‘My Digital Flat-Panels –> Pixel Format’. You then change from the default ‘YCbCr 4:4:4 Pixel Format’ to ‘RGB 4:4:4 Pixel Format PC Standard (Full RGB)’. This setting is shown in the image below. Contrast performance on Battlefield 3 was respectable overall. Visibility in dark areas was good with even some fairly minor details visible. Towards the corners of the screen, and to a lesser extent the central flanks, PS glow drowned out some this detail. The high end hand plenty of brightness and good distinctions of closely matched shades. Light and light textures had a bit of a grainy look to them from the screen surface, though. The contrast performance very good by many measures and essentially up there with many of the stronger IPS panels we’ve seen. There was the usual IPS glow to contend with but this is just one of those trade-offs that applies to all IPS and PLS panels on the market today. The image was clearer and less grainy than some of the older IPS models (such as the Dell U2312HM), which is good to see. We do feel LG could have gone a bit further here, reducing the haze value a bit more and essentially making the matte surface even lighter. The image was not as ‘clean’ as that provided by some of the higher end AH-IPS panels such as the 27” WQHD models or indeed Samsung’s ‘semi glossy’ PLS surface. Still, that’s something for LG to consider and isn’t something AOC themselves are in control of. On the AOC i2369Vm we measured under 4ms (less than quarter of a frame) of input lag, which is excellent. Although felt responsiveness is determined by other factors as well (such as refresh rate) that’s certainly one less thing for gamers to worry about. Some overdrive artifacts (overshoot) even using the ‘Weak’ setting – relatively mild but still thereOn Dirt 3 low-end (dark) detail was again good in most cases with all important details visible. There was some loss in peripheral sections (particularly corners) due to IPS glow but nothing game breaking. The slightly grainy look at the high-end prevented lights looking ‘pure’ but there was plenty of brightness.

A very good static contrast performance putting it up there with some of the best IPS models out there We used the MHL feature with an HTC One X+, which has a 1,280×720 resolution. The phone’s display defaulted to a horizontal position that filled most of the screen, but the overall image looked jagged and pixelated. Even so, the MHL feature is a handy way of showing photos to your family and friends on a large screen. For our testing (below) we set overdrive to ‘Weak’ as we felt this offered the best balance. Users should feel free to experiment with the other settings to see what works best for them.We also tested our Blu-ray film titles. Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder is a particularly good test for colour reproduction as it features large areas of solid colour and a dazzling variety of shades. The AOC displayed these shades very well, displaying deep shades and bright neon shades with a good vivid look. Pastel shades looked appropriately muted by comparison and again showed strong variety. The consistency of shades was also excellent; individual shades appeared as they should regardless of their position on the screen. The Lagom text appeared a well-blended grey without any obvious red or green tints. This indicates a low level of viewing angle dependency to the monitor’s gamma curve, which is a positive attribute of IPS monitors. Stand offers only tilt adjustment and is fairly wobbly if you touch the monitor (to adjust the OSD settings, for example)
