PC World Elevates AOC 7F Monitor to Top 10
Price, features earn 17-inch flat-face monitor top honors

San Francisco. March 25, 2003: Solid value has earned the AOC 7F a spot on PC World’s coveted list of Top 10 17-inch monitors.

The April 2003 rankings included the 7F, side by side with competing monitors from major manufacturers such as Sony, NEC and Samsung. Priced at just $149, this stylish CRT monitor offers a number of features that caught the judge’s eye, beginning with the large dial in the center of the bezel that makes navigating on-screen controls “a breeze.”

In addition, super-fine .21mm dot pitch and a shadow-mask pure flat tube deliver minimal distortion and precise resolution—which translates into less eye strain, more focused work for end users.

“Our monitors hold their own against the best in the industry,” said Tak Shimizu, VP of Sales and Marketing for AOC. “The value we build into every monitor –and our solid support – make the 7F a great choice for any business looking for quality, affordable monitors.”
