AOC’s latest 23.8-inch monitor packs in some punch. This one is widescreen monitor that boasts a high-grade IPS panel with Full HD resolution. The I2470PWQU monitor has been specifically made for viewing multimedia and office applications, thanks to its wide viewing angles. The monitor is quite sturdy and nicely built, and is draped in an all-black exterior.

The AOC I2470PWQU monitor features connectivity options such as VGA, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort inputs as well as a headphone jack and integrated speaker. The I2470PWQU also comes with a height-adjustable stand, in addition to four USB 2.0 ports.

Inside the box, the I2470PWQU monitor comes with all connectors required to do the job – D-Sub, DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort. Setting up the monitor was quite easy. Once the monitor is setup using the height-adjustable stand, you can adjust the monitor to a height of 130 mm.

The monitor has been certified by all major certifications for energy efficiency such as Energy Star 6.0, TCO 6.0 and EPEAT Gold. The menu control buttons are built into the bottom part of the bezel, which can actually be pressed rather than being touch sensitive. This is a welcome move for those that hate touch sensitive buttons.

The AOC I2470PWQU monitor also features a WLED backlight which provides coverage of the sRGB colour space, a 60Hz refresh rate and the usual 1920-by-1080 resolution. The maximum brightness specified is 250 cd/m2 whilst the monitor is also intended to give gamers a decent experience with its grey to grey acceleration.

Viewing angles were great on the AOC I2470PWQU monitor. We played both movies and games on the monitor and we found the performance to be quite good. Colours were vibrant, and the blacks were deeper. Black text on white looked clear, without any obvious colour tint problems. Also, fonts were clearly visible down to a 6.8-point size. All in all, the AOC I2470PWQU monitor is a great display that can be used for both home and office use.
