Customer Reviews

Note the native resolution
I have other Acer monitors and love them all. This one is bright and clear just like the others. I did overlook the native resolution of 1400x900. 100% my fault. Be careful if you want to use its full capabilities. Many laptops don't go this high. I bought this to go with a laptop. My new Toshiba laptop only goes up to 1280x800. I had to back my laptop video down to 1024x768 to show the task bar. And, of course, everything is larger and there is less on the screen than if it was running at 1400x900. It appears many higher end desktop pc video cards have 1400x900 as a resolution selection. I'm mildly disappointed but I probably would have bought it anyway. An excellent value for the money. But if you want to use this for tasks where you can fit a maximum amount onto the screen, be sure your pc's video card has 1400x900 resolution as a selection.

a pleasant surprise...
I bought this monitor for my two boy's computer this past Christmas, based on a couple of reviews---but mainly based on the price. Mostly I swear by Samsung flat panels and the Acer name is hardly the one I think of for top-drawer components....

But the monitor beat all of my expectations. It features both impressive top resolution and good brightness/clarity. The cheap features are mostly the lack of extra utilities and adjustment in the base. It doesn't swivel or tilt or do height adjustment.

Other than that, though, it's been a rock solid monitor.

Ya get what you pay for
For $200, I guess it's pretty okay. It's bright and big, which is really all I thought I wanted. It isn't quite as sharp as I'd hoped, and no matter how hard I try I can't get the colors to match my MacBook display. I'm pretty picky though.

But here's the real problem: Right out of the box, my monitor has a dead pixel. It isn't even off in the corner; it's right smack dab in the middle of the screen. The Acer website is pretty easy to navigate and I got a warentee ticket submitted right away, but now I have to send the monitor to Texas to get it fixed. Lame. Still, I can't say I wouldn't recommend this monitor to a friend who couldn't afford something a little bit nicer.
