My old flat screen monitor blew out at the beginning of the summer much to my dismay. It was an older HannsG 27in LED monitor that I think I paid about 500 bucks for it a few years back. I remember being ecstatic when it arrived because it was going to be my first dual monitor setup. Well, I have been so satisfied with a dual monitor system that the thought of relying on just my ancient ten year old 20in Planar flat screen was intolerable. I searched the regular sites like TigerDirect, NewEgg and Amazon until I found an inexpensive monitor to snag. I was shocked to find out how cheap monitors have become. So shocked in fact that I figured I might as well replace the older Planar monitor just so I had a matched set that displayed things at the same resolution.<\/p>\n
I picked up two AOC\u00a027-Inch LED Backlit Monitors<\/a> for less than the price of what I paid for my HannsG 5 years ago. I had decided not to go with another HannsG because the internet is littered with comments and forum posts detailing the substandard electronic capacitors that \u00a0are used in their construction. This is really a shame because other than the capacitor issue, I loved the old 27in HannsG. Also, using better capacitors would have only add a few extra dollars to the price of the monitor at best. In fact, there is a whole market of vendors on Amazon that are selling separate capacitor replacement kits especially for the HannsG monitors<\/a>.<\/p>\n I decided to give my old 20 inch Planar flat screen to my mom and replace the capacitors in the HannsG to give to my son. With that said, I am loving these new AOC 27s. I had never heard of the company prior to a few weeks ago. I just hope they last longer than the HannsG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My old flat screen monitor blew out at the beginning of the summer much to my dismay.
