Wonderful Monitor
Great looks, perfect for minute editing in Pro Tools. This is the reason I bought it. And I am not disappointed. Great price, no tax, and free shipping. What's not to like... |  | Reviewed on 2008-07-23 
Stuck pixel makes this a bad unit
Mine arrived from Amazon with a bright stuck pixel in the middle of the screen. Intolerable for use a monitor. Acer should have better quality control then this. Do not buy this monitor. | | Reviewed on 2008-07-17
The 250 dollar 22 inch
There was a time when monitors were square and CRTs were the end-all-be-all. Despite many limitations LCDs are teh defacto standard these days because of their appearance and thinness. And then of course high-definition display formats had to come along and make everything even more complicated with widescreen displays becoming the new standard. Thus when making a decision to buy a new display I found myself leaning towards a large widescreen LCD...
I just love Acer products. They might not make the ultra-high-end crazy gizmos that people brag about (can't stand people who go on and on and on about their ultra-high-def-plasma-10,000 inch-blah-blah-blah), but they work great, and they are cheap, cheap cheap.
You could go to just about any electronics store and pay about $400.00 for a 24 inch, or pay about $300.00 for a 22 inch. Or you could pay $200.00 and get this bargain (and laugh at everyone who paid more). As always, there are sacrifices and tradeoffs when you go after the best bargain.
For starters, picture quality. While the resolution and clarity are quite good, some other areas are rather sub-par. There's light leakage around the border as times (especially the top of the screen), and the contrast is not very good at all. You CAN get the screen to look rather good, but it will take considerable tweaking. Personally I have it configured to the Animation setting which maximizes contrast and brightness and color fidelity. It works great for me because I'm using the screen as the center of my home theater (with an Xbox 360, a computer, a VCR, and every other game system hooked into it with multiple switchboxes). Of course that brings up another point. Unlike high-end screens, there are no inputs on this screen besides standard VGA. That means that if like me, you would like to plug in a lot of external devices besides a PC, you can either buy a bunch of converters, cables, and switchboxes, or you can just buy a more expensive screen that has all kinds of crazy inputs like one of those high-end dell screens.
I have absolutely zero worries about product reliability and usabillity, because I'm typing this on an Acer laptop and buy quite a few Acer products, and they've never let me down yet. If you're looking for a decent screen at a ridiculously low price, this is the one to get. If you're looking for something high-end, look elsewhere.
