Product Information

We used a modified ‘camera and stopwatch’ type method to gauge an estimation of the level of input lag on the monitor. The basic method involves a camera at high shutter speed capturing a running on-screen stopwatch (with millisecond accuracy). The stopwatch is displayed simultaneously on the monitor being tested and a monitor of known input lag. Traditionally the monitor of known input lag is a CRT display that does no image processing and can be considered input lag free. To help improve the accuracy of this test we take an average from over 120 readings and compare with multiple monitors of known signal processing delay. This gives a greater number of milestones to work from and helps narrow down the input lag more reliably. A nice design overall with very slender bezels, touches of fingerprint-resistant matte silver (plastic), VESA mounting capability and a DisplayPort input At the side the monitor is fairly slender. It is 14mm at thinnest point and 17mm at the bottom (including the bottom bezel ‘lip’). It lumps out in the middle to around 43mm. Stand offers only tilt adjustment and is fairly wobbly if you touch the monitor (to adjust the OSD settings, for example) If you want to avoid having to do these little tweaks in the graphics driver then make use of the monitor’s DisplayPort. We tested this and found everything set up optimally by default, as you’d expect from a PC-only connection. The table below gives readings for white point, average central gamma and some general observations for each ‘Gamma’ setting. To reiterate, ‘DPS’ was disabled but everything else was kept at default. The table also shows the results from our ‘test settings’ which are described subsequently.

Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. We also tested responsiveness on our Blu-ray movie titles. The fluidity here was limited by the low frame rate of around 24fps at which they are shot and run. This essentially broke up the action in such a way that there were no weaknesses evident from either pixel transitions or overdrive artifacts. If you did observe overdrive artifacts during films you could always disable overdrive with no negative consequences. The native pixel transitions on modern IPS monitors are fast enough for movie viewing even without pixel overdrive enabled. Disabling overdrive, should you wish to, is a nice flexibility that you have on the AOC.More comfortable brightness, better colour balance (no tint) with good rich look and decent vibrancy.

Image is very bright, rich and nicely varied with decent vibrancy. A slight cool green tint to the image but no issues with over (or under) saturation or crushed shades.

Slightly reduced tint but light shades appear overly bright in relation to darker shades which appear a bit ‘underdone’. Very low input lag and highly configurable pixel overdrive with some good strong acceleration even using the not-so-aptly named ‘Weak’ overdrive setting Some overdrive artifacts (overshoot) even using the ‘Weak’ setting – relatively mild but still there The i2369Vm is part of AOC’s value range of monitors, but this 23in monitor looks anything but budget. The i2369Vm’s slim IPS panel is just 14mm deep and its slim matt silver stand and lower bezel look smart with its frameless display.On Battlefield 3 a moderately low degree of trailing was observed whilst running about on foot. The trails were short and sharp rather than extended and smeary. It was clear that effective overdrive was being used. There were instances of fairly weak overdrive trailing, mostly manifesting itself as a sort of partially transparent glow around certain contrasting colours. A dark grey building set against a bright blue sky, for example. Ramping up the pace of action by zipping about in a vehicle increased apparent trailing, as you might expect. At this fast pace the degree of sharpness maintained was about as good as you would see on a 60Hz LCD. The refresh rate and perceived blur became overriding limitations rather than the pixel response times. Overall, then, a competent performance from the AOC on this title. For our testing (below) we set overdrive to ‘Weak’ as we felt this offered the best balance. Users should feel free to experiment with the other settings to see what works best for them. Battlefield 3 looked very much as it should. Colours were displayed with good richness and variety with some particularly impressive earthy browns and crisp golden greens. Some of the deeper colour, such as strong oranges and dark reds, also had appropriate fullness without appearing the wrong shade. The ‘neon’ in game markers and bright elements such as fires and flares didn’t have the sort of ‘pop’ you might see on a glossy screen but still looked fairly vibrant. The matte screen surface gives a slightly grainy appearance to light colours – it’s lighter (lower haze value) than some older IPS models but not quite ‘semi glossy’ We also briefly tested the monitor using an Nvidia GTX 670 just to see if there were any obvious colour differences. As usual the Nvidia card sent out completely the wrong colour signal to the monitor, washing out colours and hugely reducing contrast. To rectify this and make everything look as it should for PC use the following steps should be taken in Nvidia Control Panel.
