AOC LM729 monitor

Review:
There are several great things about this monitor, a 17-inch flat-panel LCD beauty.

First is the built-in speakers, located right below the display. This creates the effect of having the sound come right out from the monitor, as opposed to the sides.

Next up is the height adjustment and swivel features, which are extremely easy to adjust, yet stable enough where the monitor won't re-adjust itself if you happen to bump into it. The monitor also rotates from landscape to portrait mode as well, which a lot of other monitors don't do so well (if at all).

The setup was extremely simple, just connect the speaker cable, monitor cable and power cable, and voila! You're ready to go. If you have a digital video cable, the monitor supports that as well.

Finally is the price -- $395 for this monitor, about $100 less than equivalent monitors for this size.
