RELIABLE

they are known for making sturdy

With a fantastic build quality

stand both have sturdy metal interiors with external plastic coats sporting a red

reliable performance

Well built with lots of interfaces

especially when delivered in such a gorgeously engineered package

sturdy VESA mo

I'd love to see it packaged in a more rugged housing

its solid construction

the design is sturdy

Sturdy stand

NOT RELIABLE

While the build quality is merely average

this screen's lacklustre image quality isn’t quite up to scratch

build quality is a little less luxurious to the touch than it is to the eyes

One star for looking nice whilst broken

the monitor does work just fine no scratches no dead pixels

a practical necessity as the monitor by itself seems more fragile than a similar-size screen that is part of a laptop

If AOC didn't had the problem with releasing thousands of broken monitors I would've gave it 5 stars

The only reason I had to buy a new one was because I accidentally broke it (being clumsy
