This 17" offering from AOC is one of the cheapest monitors in the group test, at £200 including VAT. Styling is simple, and the thin plastic base and general feel of the monitor definitely mark it as a budget model. It does have a few tricks up its sleeve however. A 1280x1024 native resolution and 350:1 contrast ratio may be nothing special, but the 16ms response time is incredibly good for such a cheap monitor.

Its scaling abilities are good, and it makes a very credible attempt at displaying 800x600 and 1024x768. The screen has a blue tinge by default, but a bit of messing around with the OSD soon cancels this out and the screen displays whites like a washing powder advert, and reasonably dark black tones, even in a dark room.

Viewing angle isn't great, but this doesn't really matter since it makes the ideal budget gaming monitor with its low response times and realistically low purchase price.
