Germany meh? I also afraid AOC from some china, until i check AOC global website on company history states this :

http://www.aoc.com/about.html#1

1967 - Admiral Overseas Corporation (AOC) was established in Taiwan; 1st manufacturer of color televisions for export.
1978 - Admiral Overseas Corporation was renamed to AOC International.

So this means it's a taiwan company (technically republic of china )? The monitors are nice and cheap.. but afraid of getting them. SO how is AOC monitor performance?
