TECH REVIEW............... AOC 23" Razor TV



TECH REVIEW  AOC 23" Razor TV
PRICE Rs>19,990

Although AOC calls it a ‘razor TV’ with an ultra-thin bezel, the image they sent is slightly misleading. With the TV off, it indeed looks like it has a razor thin bezel because of the all-black front. However, switch it on and you’ll see that there is some extra black space around the screen.
The 3D technology used here is passive or FPR (Film Patterned Retarder) — this means you won’t need those heavy, battery-powered active shutter 3D glasses. Four pairs of lightweight, inexpensive 3D glasses are provided in the box so a family of four can instantly start enjoying 3D content.
The panel is bright, sharp, offers a wide colour gamut, high contrast levels and excellent viewing angles. With real 3D content (games or movies), the effect is convincing. It can even convert 2D to 3D on-the-fly.
The USB port on the side is for multimedia. We tested it out with a 1TB portable hard drive and it worked just fine. Hook up a hard drive and it instantly loads up all the content and you can start playing a movie almost instantly.
However, there is a downside to passive 3D technology. Because the 3D glasses create the illusion of 3D by blocking light, each eye effectively gets half the total resolution of the screen. Calling it a TV is a bit of s stretch — most people go for at least a 32-inch set when it comes to the primary TV. You could get a larger screen, but you obviously have to give up the 3D feature. We feel this is a great buy for a study, where it can do double duty as a desktop PC monitor and 3D gaming/movie screen.
SPECIFICATIONS 23-inch 3D LED, 1920 x 1080 pixels, dual 5W speakers, dual HDMI, VGA, component, USB port, passive 3D, multimedia playback, 3.6kg
Great price, excellent 3D performance with zero crosstalk, bright full HD panel
Weak speakers, all-plastic design, not as razor thin a bezel as it seems at first
