AOC Rivio 2230Fm 3.25

Explain star rating

RRP

$549.00

Review Date

Tuesday, 2nd of September, 2008

Features

Screen size : 22.0 in

What's Hot

Good colour, stylish bezel design, HDMI, USB hub, reasonable gaming performance

What's Not

Glossy display, no height adjustment, questionable build quality

The lack of height adjustment and the glossy panel will turn some users away. These faults aside, there is a lot to like about the 2230Fm. The DMP engine isn’t great, but if you’re after an all-rounder with good image quality, this is a reasonable choice.
