Smart Computing Magazine Selects New Aoc LM800 LCD For Its Top Five 17-Inch And Larger LCD Category
LM800 Delivers Outstanding Performance at an Unbeatable Price
San Francisco, Calif. - August 15, 2002 - AOC Monitors, maker of AOC brand liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors today announced that Smart Computing Magazine has selected its AOC LM800 18-inch LCD display as one of the magazine’s prestigious “Top 5 Picks” in the 17-inch and larger LCD category. The LM800 shares the “Top 5 Picks” list with more expensive brands including Eizo, Sony and ViewSonic.
According to the Smart Computing magazine reviewer, “The LM800 surprised me. AOC isn’t a big-name player like Hitachi or Samsung, so I didn’t expect what I found in the LM800: big-name quality for a good price. With an impressively sharp 18.1-inch screen, a 1,280 x 1,024 maximum resolution, and a 75Hz maximum refresh rate, the LM800 makes quite an impression.” The extensive Smart Computing review indicated that the monitor performed superbly during almost every test screen, with no discernible defocusing effects and no stuck pixels. The monitor also handled the usual office applications with right-on coloring and pleasant-looking text, while TV also looked great on the LM800. “Anyone looking for a quality large-screen LCD should look beyond the big names and consider the AOC LM800,” the reviewer writes.
The AOC LM800 is the third LCD product for AOC Monitors, which has earned industry-wide recognition for its price-to-performance ratio. The AOC LM800 is priced at $749.
