Quick Specs

If you need a monitor and want to spend as little as possible without getting something genuinely bad, the onn 22\” FHD 100Hz is the answer. At $79 with a 6-foot HDMI cable included, it’s a plug-and-play solution for basic home office use, a secondary display, or a first setup on a tight budget.

The 22-inch screen size is compact — right at the line between “feels cozy” and “feels cramped.” At 1920×1080 on a 22-inch panel, pixel density is solid at ~100 PPI; text is sharp and readable, which is what matters for spreadsheets, email, and document work. This isn’t a media consumption display, but it’s a functional office tool.

100Hz is a real step up from the 60Hz monitors that dominated this price tier a few years ago. Web browsing, scrolling, and light gaming all feel noticeably smoother. It’s not a gaming monitor by any stretch — there’s no FreeSync, no listed response time spec — but 100Hz means the experience doesn’t feel stuck in slow motion.

The 6-foot HDMI cable in the box is a thoughtful inclusion at this price. Setup takes minutes. No DisplayPort input, no USB hub, no built-in speakers — all stripped out to hit the $79 price point. The stand adjusts for tilt; no height adjustment. The plastic build is straightforward and the footprint is compact, which is actually a plus for cluttered desks.

Verdict

For $79, the onn 22\” 100Hz is exactly what it says it is — a basic office monitor that works well and ships with a cable. Don’t expect IPS color or gaming performance. Do expect a clean, simple screen that gets the job done without drama.
