The 2230Fh features an MSRP of $299.99.
I'll buy it if it comes with those polar bears
What could you possibly want/do with a polar bear?
too bad the consumer driven economy - that drives the production and purchasing of items like this LCD TV - is the reason why in 50 years those polar bears will be Extinct.
Global Warming is real and those Polar Bears are going to be a dead species once their ice melts.
You could put armor on it and ride it around town/the arctic.
Screw the TV. I just want more polar bear pictures.
if I have to sacrifice a polar bear for a nice LCD, so be it. Maybe if the polar bear evolved with a 20000:1 contrast ratio, it wouldn't be endangered.
flashpoint, what should the economy be driven by? good will?
yeah, that's what I thought, genius.
and if you bought a computer that enabled you to post on this site, you are helping to kill polar bears, too, right? or is that justified by hypocrisy, like everything else?
Coffee, you completely missed Flashpoint's sarcasm. Are you new here?
...i don't think he was being sarcastic.
people vote down posts that expose our shallow consumer driven urges. thats what you do when you are trying to deny there is a problem and are frantically doing everything you can to avoid looking at it, thinking about it or dealing with it.
makes me sad - how can we have such limited foresight, no accountability and even less of a sense of responsibility.
nice screen too.
This brand is absolute crap, for the money, buy something else, perhaps a Samsung or LG.
I haven't payed much attention to this brand in the past, but this looks like a solid product.
As the old saying goes, don't judge a monitor by its high-gloss finish; or something along those lines.
I dunno. All out monitors at school are made by AOC and I must say they are quite nice. And the pricepoint on this monitor is quite nice. Try finding HDMI on a monitor for under 300.
I have an AOC 2217PWC. It was really cheap and I'm very happy with it. I just wanted an ordinary monitor for my PC, but this thing had a lot of features and it costs only a little more than other 22" monitors. Its got DVI-D /w HDCP aside from VGA, which means its fully HDMI compatible with a HDMI to DVI cable. Plus its got a moderately good webcam with useless mic.
It's funny you say to go for an LG instead, when the company that makes AOC manufacturers most LG displays as well. They have seriously improved their performance and quality. 20,000 to 1 contrast ratio is awesome and 2ms response time is perfect for gaming. Do some more research.
I'm in the market for a new 22" and I'd like to see this compared with Samsungs new T220 for the same price.
It looks good with Black and White but do they have a model that handles color?
fail
lol 299. Asus at first thought their laptop was gonna be 199. Won't be surprised if this price is jacked up due to "Production anomalies"

read next time?
I bet it is a 6 bit TN panel. I wish they would invest in making more 8 bit panels...
It is an 8 bit panel, i was curious myself and asked someone "in the know"
I have one word. S3x4y.
wow,they got a really unique and stylish button design there...
..oh wait...google is speaking to me "use me,type in loewe individual compose"
If you borrow ideas why not from the best,eh?
Oh sure.... show off adorable Polar Bears. What about the Panda? Or the Emperor Penguin? I'm calling this a biased monitor!
So... another TN panel in the 22" market.
@ Low Ranked
Correct me if I'm just blind, but I don't see much sarcasm in Flashpoint's post. Maybe if his post said... ... well, I actually can't see a way of making his comment sarcastic (without spending more than 5 minutes trying).
@Flashpoint
If you were trying to be funny, better luck next time.

Can this be used to play ps3 system on or Xbox 360 hdmi system on?? Can someone give me a answer? THanks all!
RTFA
Yes, it has HDMI inputs so it can be used to play HD Xbox and PS3...or at least it should be able to, that's the main point of the HDMI inputs on these displays
I will give them kudos for having 1080(and not cheaping out with a max of 720) and giving it a real nice affordable price. While it's not a 60 inch plasma, not everyone needs(or wants) a big 'ol TV to watch their fave HD shows.
Those polar bears look so cute. I would rather buy them then the TV. My neighbor, Michael Jackson, would love to use them for all his kids parties he has. I been invited (bc im 13) by him to attend to his parties but everytime i go he offers me wine and i usually pass out and wake up kinda sore. oh the innoscence, the beauty. why the face of god is on every child. So says michael.
I wonder where can I find the wallpaper on the screen? :)
nice...
