How well do these work as monitor-replacements? Does text render legibly?

Text would be legible, however, they are OLED's which are prone to burn in, I would not recommend to use it with a static image for long periods of time.

You can still read text, but not recommended for use as a monitor-replacement, cause your eyes will getting tired after 2, 3 hours of usage.

For me No...It works well with movies, playing pc or console games but I wouldn't recommend it for a permanent monitor replacement.

I normally watch movies on this thing from my Surface Pro 2 computer, and I routinely switch over to reading my email, or look up stuff on the web while I have the headmounted unit on. I can see the text perfectly fine with the headset... only thing is I find my self trying to turn my head to see the edge of the screen because it's so big... I found that setting the screen size on the 3D viewer to 70% makes it better for using my computer.

I haven't connected to a PC yet. But DVD menu's and gaming text is very clear.

You may want to look at the review of this monitor over at tftcentral. They cover all the details.

It technically should work, but you would have to get an active DP adapter capable of running the resolution and HAS to support Dual-Link DVI. I recently had to contact Monoprice for a very similar situation on one of their 4k monitors. They have live chat, and were able resolve my questions quickly.

I can only can give my opinion but, in any past experience I have had regarding LED displays like this is not good.Generally, you would have to replaceThe whole display module.... But I might be wrong. :0/

I have had my two for over a year with no issues. Gaming, Video Editing and photography are my main uses and it hold up pretty well. AOC did a good job on this monitor.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

It preforms well when plugged into anything with an hdmi output. Making text and icons match on both screens just requires a match up of resolutions. That's more of the software side. It'll do what you want it to do, however if you just want an external monitor this one's a bit on the expensive side. Only buy it if you REALLY want the 1440p resolution touch screen, otherwise you can get a much cheaper 1080p touch screen that has better latency.

I don't remember if it did or not but that wasn't relevant to me. However, the monitor I got (which I knew was used) the screen was slightly defective. There were some "grey" areas on the display. The use I have for it made this a non-issue but if you want it for regular daily use, make sure it is fully functional.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

I have never actually used it. Waiting to get a monitor for the desktop (previous monitor disappeared when moving).

I bought six of them and connected them to a single PC. The screens are not glossy and I get absolutely not light reflection. It's more of a satin finish on the outer part of the screen. I hope this answers your question.

Yes, I haven't had any problems with my monitor yet. No glares, bleed, or even a single dead pixel.

Yes we have installed quite a few, The NIT ratio on them is not bad for the price. It can get washed out a bit if there is a bright dome light close to the monitor

In essence, yes. You might have to tweak around with color settings until you get some good preset. Ones that come with the monitor suck arse. The monitor itself is used for datasheet viewing and I have no problems with it. It is a very good monitor and I plan on buying another one when my pocket allows it.

I am so sorry that this reply is so late in comming. I was just cleaning up my mail and saw it. I have a ViewSonic 1080 LED HD monitor. I love the monitor, just not the computer.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

InfiniteRecall has the correct answer. You need an active adapter which costs extra. It'll work, but kinda pricy. At that point you might as well look for a good deal on a monitor with DisplayPort, which only needs a mini-DP to DP cable (about $10).
