AOC 22B30HM2 User Manual

AOC 22B30HM2 is a no-frills, budget-friendly monitor designed for everyday use. It offers a Full HD resolution, basic connectivity options, and a slim design, making it suitable for casual computer users, students, or those looking for a secondary monitor.

Key Features:

• Display:
  • 21.5-inch VA panel with a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution.
    • VA panels offer potentially better contrast ratios and viewing angles compared to budget TN panels, but may have slightly slower response times.
  • Brightness of 250 cd/m² (typical). This is a standard brightness level, suitable for most indoor lighting conditions.
  • Contrast Ratio of 3000:1 (typical). This higher contrast ratio can provide deeper blacks and potentially more vivid colors compared to monitors with lower contrast ratios.
• Refresh Rate: 60Hz. This is the standard refresh rate and might be sufficient for basic tasks and watching videos. However, fast-paced content or gaming might benefit from a higher refresh rate.
• Connectivity:
  • 1x HDMI 1.4 port for connecting to computers, laptops, or gaming consoles.
  • 1x VGA port for connecting to older devices that might not have HDMI.
  • No built-in speakers or USB hub.

Benefits:

• Affordable: The AOC 22B30HM2 is a budget-friendly option for those looking for a basic Full HD monitor.
• Decent Contrast (Potential Benefit): VA panels can offer better contrast ratios compared to TN panels, resulting in deeper blacks and potentially more vivid colors. User reviews can provide insights into real-world contrast performance.
• Wide Viewing Angles (Potential Benefit): VA panels generally offer wider viewing angles compared to TN panels. However, the actual viewing angles might not be as wide as high-end IPS panels.
• VGA Compatibility: The VGA port allows for connecting older devices that might not have HDMI.

Considerations:

• Basic Features: The AOC 22B30HM2 lacks advanced features like built-in speakers, a USB hub, or FreeSync/G-Sync compatibility (technologies that can reduce screen tearing).
• Standard Refresh Rate: The 60Hz refresh rate might not be ideal for users who prioritize smooth visuals in fast-paced content or gaming.
• Smaller Screen Size: The 21.5-inch display size might be limiting for users who prefer a larger workspace.
