Amazon Basics IPS Monitor 75 Hz Powered with AOC Technology FHD 1080P HDMI, Display Port and VGA Input VESA Compatible Built-in Speakers for Office and Home, 27 in, Black

Overall, the image quality and brightness are remarkable. The built-in USB hub keeps me from having to plug in all my peripherals separately. The speakers are good enough for basic listening intelligibility, but not what I would want to use to listen to music.I bought this monitor to replace an aging 20 inch unit. The AmazonBasics monitor with AOC technology is considerably brighter and clearer than my old one. I used AOC monitors exclusively in the past so I expected good image quality and performance. This model did not disappoint.The buit-in speakers work reasonably well for sounds related to system notifications or spoken words. If you want to listen to music you will need an additional speaker. Thankfully there is an audio out and a headset port built into the monitor.My desk setup has the AmazonBasics monitor and another connected via hdmi to an Anker 553 USB-C hub. The AmazonBasics monitor is also connected to the Anker hub via the monitor’s USB B port. This allows me to leave my webcam, keyboard, and mouse plugged into the AmazonBasics monitor for a permanent desk setup. When I am ready to work I simply connect the single USB C cable from the Anker hub to my laptop. This single connection gives me access to everything I need thanks to the monitor’s built-in USB hub.When I purchased it in early 2023 it was $150. It is a great monitor at a great price.

I needed a monitor with audio but didn't want to spend a lot and I've used Amazon Basics before for other things, so I thought this was a great deal. At first, I thought, I needed a 32" but the one that I am replacing is 27" so it was a no brainer. I LOVE IT! It has all kinds of settings and has 3 different video inputs and 3 USB inputs, one is the printer type, meant to be a hub. Also an audio in and out which I really like. The hardest part of setting up is the damned box, what is with all the tabs they put on them now!!?? I just tore it open. I had to read the manual only a couple of times as it is set just the way I like it. Most of the hardware assembly is no big deal, you can tell what goes where. Another nice feature is a regular plug, not a power block. You can easily plug into a power strip without taking up 3 outlets. The speaker/s are okay, but not vibrant enough for me. But I have an Altec Lansing speaker which I am using for the sound. Picture is great and it has many options for change if I want. It even has a gaming mode which I don't need but thought I should mention.

Great economy monitor for my 13 inch Mac air. Good color, lower level HD, easy to set up, with some useful usb connectivity. I would buy it again.

The monitor arrived quickly and very well packaged. The display bright and crisp, light weight, and is easy to set up. The speakers are what you would expect from the budget price. They are there and they work. When I played ACDC Thunderstruck, it sounded like a kazoo band. Although, if you think about it, the song does have a kazoo quality to it. But, I didn’t buy this to listen to music. I think this is a budget friendly product that works as intended and it fits my need. I’ve deducted one star for speaker quality. Even for a budget item, I think better speakers could have been used.

Got this to replace a 15 yr old monitor that died suddenly. This monitor works great, but the settings menu is a nightmare. Menu navigation is a hassle and the instructions don't explain what each option does. Luckily, the only settings you may want to change are brightness and contrast.Pay attention to your computer's resolution. If you computer's resolution is less than the max this monitor can handle, then you'll end up with a small display with a big black border.This monitor comes with a ridiculously long HDMI cable. I purchased a short 1.5 ft cable to replace it.It has one slight annoyance: it has a pop up that tells you briefly what your input source is when turning on or awaking from sleep.The pedastel mount is flimsy so be careful when tilting the monitor or you could damage the screen.

Great monitor. Great price. Very clear and bright. Happy with the purchase
