I certainly rushed getting the AOC-E2251FWU, and I think this may be a big mistake.
I was originally planning on purchasing an identical monitor to the one I have now. (AOC E2251Swdn). I saw there was a newer model available and only read a couple reviews before purchasing.
My big problem is that I didn't realize that this is "usb powered" instead of DVI or HDMI. The quality is definitely worse. The screen is much darker and seems to be at a lower resolution even though it claims to be at 1080p.
In Control Panel the display is listed as "Display device on: VGA" instead of my other monitor which is labeled as 2251w.
I don't mind it too much, but is there any way I can get a better quality without purchasing a $70 USB 2.0 to HDMI adapter?
Here's the product on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/AOC-E2251FWU-22-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B0073BOCNU
