Conclusion
We definitely don't condone AOC's decision to change the hardware in its monitor without telling anybody, but we have to admit that the e2795Vh has some strengths. Most importantly, gamers are likely to be wooed by an excellent response time. And everybody else will like the great value for money.
Despite a rather disappointing contrast ratio (which is a common problem for IPS displays), the Asus PA246Q is an excellent monitor. It combines a great design, accurate colour reproduction, wide viewing angles and a fast enough display for gaming. Better still, it sells at a very accessible price for a monitor aimed at professional users.
