Tired of hunched over the relatively small screen of your laptop? Connect an external monitor for proper desktop setup. And, hey, if you’re going to do that, you could go big, too, especially when there’s a deal like this. For a limited time, and while supplies last, Staples has the AOC 27E1H 27-inch IPS desktop monitor for $ 99.99. That’s after applying the coupon code 88147 in box. You can opt for in-store pickup or free next day shipping (!).
This is a big monitor, something to consider if you don’t have an especially large desk. I should also mention that it reaches a maximum of 1,920×1,080 pixels of resolution, something to keep in mind if you expect to put more windows in your workspace. (Some would argue that a monitor of this size is smaller in value without more pixels.)
Here’s what you get: an LED-backlit display with built-in blue light filtering technology, plus HDMI and VGA inputs and a headphone jack. Unfortunately, it has no speakers, although of course you can still use your laptop’s speakers or connect something external.
Here’s the true star of this show, IMHO: AOC backs it with a three-year warranty. Not many tech products come with that type of coverage.
Around 40 Staples customers collectively rated the monitor 4.6 out of 5 stars. This is a very good deal, one of the best I’ve seen on a screen this size.
