Pros: Extremely vivid picture compared to my Acer V223W 22" wide-screen monitor (Matte display). High definition videos are much brighter and more colorful, and the clarity on any picture is very accurate to say the least. There is no "light bleeding" or trailing in the picture. The monitor arrived 3 days after I placed my order (which I'm okay with since it wasn't a high priority for me). Installation of the stand is so simple a "trained monkey" would have no trouble at all. Honestly all-in-all, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Cons: Acer support/customer service; that's really all I have to say.

Pros: Monitor has extremely clear and vivid colors. Excellent dark colors and clear crisp lights.

Cons: Had one stuck white pixel upon initial turn on. Using the tap method took about one minute and it was restored and working perfectly.

Other Thoughts: Thoughts: Don't judge reviews on your purchases generally people. Im extremely impressed with this monitor and the 50k contrast ratio makes.

Other Thoughts: Don't judge reviews on your purchases generally people. Im extremely impressed with this monitor and the 50k contrast ratio makes for a stupidly vivid picture. I was blown away considering i have the first edition of this monitor series the p241w. Exactly the same minus the orange liner and a slightly more stylish base. Side by side you can really tell the difference in contrast ratio although with some tweaking they can look rather close. I stacked these next to each other and I'm drooling over the awesome.
