AOC 24B2H2 24” Frameless IPS Monitor, FHD 1920x1080, 100Hz, 106% sRGB, for Home and Office, HDMI x2, Low Blue Mode, VESA Compatible, Black

My 15 year old LG M237WD 23" Flatron Monitor/HDTV finally died on me leaving me in a strange new world where you can no longer find a new, low-cost Monitor/HDTV with a built-in antenna input and tuner. Today you need a monitor with 2 HDMI inputs and a separate HDTV tuner with antenna input to do the job. The question today is which ones do the best job at the lowest price? After extensive online research, I decided on the AOC 24B2H2 24" LCD Monitor and the Mediasonic HOMEWORX HW250STB Convertor Box/Tuner. In short, I am extremely happy with the choices I've made. Before you make your decisions, I highly recommend you download and read the online user manuals available by searching for them online. In particular, you need the online AOC user manual to properly describe and utilize the the 5 tiny buttons on the bottom edge of the screen used to power on and access monitor settings. The paper guide included with the AOC monitor does NOT describe how how to use these buttons. The HOMEWORX manual omits fully describing how to prepare for, record, and playback TV programs on a USB flash drive. If you are computer savvy, formatting, recording, playback and deletion of TV programs is easy to figure out. If not savvy, you may need to ask HOMEWORX for help.The AOC monitor is very easy to set up. You just need to insert the neck at the bottom of the screen into the base. The screen can be tilted from 20° up to -5° down. You plug in your 1 or 2 HDMI cables from the HOMEWORX tuner and your computer, the power cord, and your speaker or earphone 3.5mm connector cable, and you're done! The HDMI button under the bottom screen edge allows you to easily switch between the tuner and your computer. Audio is automatically switched between devices with the HDMI button. On Windows 10, a 24B2H2 Intel(R) Display Audio interface is automatically installed by the AOC monitor and becomes the Default Playback Device. I have an audio cable running from my computer to my speakers in addition to the HDMI cable. If needed, I can switch the Default Playback Device back to Realtek High Definition Audio to enable me to record audio using Audacity software, which I use to record stock market Earnings Webcasts. (Note: Audacity requires a wire connection between the Realtek audio output and input to enable recording audio off the Internet.) The AOC display itself is excellent, strong clean colors and high definition. The screen is matted, NOT glossy as incorrectly listed by Amazon.The HOMEWORX tuner has a handy easy to use large remote control along with manual control bottons on the tuner itself. In addition to the HDMI port, it also has RCA jacks and can act as a HDTV converter box for an old analog TV or as audio output for a stereo amplifier. It has a USB-A port for a USB flash drive or other form of storage drive. When not turned on, the HOMEWORX digital display acts as a clock showing the time of day. Signal reception by the HOMEWORX is excellent. This has the best reception of any HDTV tuner I've used so far, and I receive stations I could not receive before so long as the weather and temperature inversions permit.AOC 24B2H2, 27B2H2 LCD Monitor User Manualhttps://mmd-aoc2.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com/Products/Monitors/B%20Line/B2/24B2H2/24B2H2_manual.pdfMediasonic HOMEWORX HW250STB User Manualhttps://www.teklib.com/library/mediasonic-homeworx-hw250stb-user-manual/

So, I needed a new monitor for my Xbox. and I wasn't looking to break the bank. I stumbled across this monitor and figured for the price, it was worth a shot. Here's the lowdown after using it for a few weeks:What I Liked:* Easy on the Wallet: Seriously, this thing was a steal! I was able to snag it on sale, and it was way cheaper than a lot of the other monitors I was looking at.* Looks Pretty Slick: I'm not gonna lie, the "frameless" design gives it a modern vibe that I dig. It definitely elevates the look of my desk setup.* Movies and YouTube Look Great: The picture quality is pretty darn good for everyday use. Colors seem vibrant, and I haven't noticed any weird blurring or anything when watching videos.* No More Eye Strain: I tend to spend hours staring at a screen, and I've noticed my eyes don't feel as tired with this monitor. I think those "Flicker-Free" and "Low Blue Mode" things actually make a difference.What Could Be Better:* Not So Great for Photo Editing: I tried touching up some photos on this monitor, and the colors seemed a bit off compared to how they look on my laptop. It's fine for casual use, but if you're a pro, you might need something more color-accurate.* Not Enough Ports: This is kind of annoying. It only has one HDMI port, and I need to switch cables depending on whether I'm using my work laptop or my gaming console.* The Stand is Meh: The stand is kind of bulky and only lets me tilt the screen. I wish I could adjust the height too.Overall Thoughts:For the price, its a solid monitor. It's perfect for everyday tasks like browsing the web, working on documents, and watching videos. If you're a casual user who needs a decent monitor without spending a fortune, this one's definitely worth checking out. Just don't expect it to be perfect for professional-level color work or hardcore gaming.

This AOC monitor is a fantastic value! The 100Hz refresh rate makes everything from web browsing to gaming feel super smooth, and the full HD resolution looks sharp and vibrant. I love the low blue light and flicker-free features—my eyes don’t feel strained after long workdays. It was easy to set up, and the slim, modern design looks great on my desk. Perfect for anyone who wants a reliable monitor without breaking the bank!
