The AOC 50-series is a slim monitor with clean styling & LED technology, priced to appeal to value-conscious consumers.LED backlights contain no toxic mercury (Hg) to contaminate the environment, & offer substantially lower power consumption than traditional monitors, further reduced with user-selectable power-saving display modes & switch-off timer. Outwardly, the 50-series monitors do not look at all cheap, with a slim & rounded design that tapers to just 18 mm at the top & sides. The back of the cabinet & top surface of the base feature a luxurious brushed texture. Control buttons are discreetly recessed underneath the shiny-edged screen bezel. Digital & analog connectors are rear-facing for direct insertion, more convenient than more common downward-pointing ports.
