Reviews of the AOC 212Va-1

CNET Review
The Good: Low price; decent image quality; movies and games look good; integrated speakers aren't bad; HDCP support; neat and trim design.
The Bad: 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 Bottom Line: 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.
