Pros: Beautiful, great display. By far not disappointed. Quality, quality monitor.

Cons: Stand isn't adjustable, not a con for me because I have a raised shelf on my desk for it... but could be for some.

Other Thoughts: Amazing buy, get this over a more expensive of the same size.

Pros: Nice thin monitor. Decent picture. Great price

Cons: Bad repair service. Horrible customer service. White Screen of Death.

Other Thoughts: I thought I was getting a great monitor at a steal of a price - it was on sale when I bought it. I was happy for the most part just moving up from the old clunky monitor I had. Unfortunately, I got the white screen of death. Apparently others have had this same problem and gotten the same results from Acer. Thye let you ship them the monitor, say they fix it,a nd send it back. Unfortunately. the repair wasn't done and then you have to resend the monitor. I have read that others did that and they did not even get it fixed the second time. This is starting to happen to alot of Acer monitor models. By the time you pay for the shipping twice, you could have bought the top of the line monitor and still had money to spare. I would avoid Acer like the plague and not buy from them again.

Pros: Nice cheap panel. I bought this particular panel because it's cheap, high resolution, and relatively small yet flexible. Matte finish on the LCD itself is godly; I personally can't stand glossy finishes. Anyways, color is decent (to be expected for a TN panel) and the backlighting is good. I'm using it as part of a mismatched dual-monitor setup, with an Acer X193w+bd (1680x1050) as the secondary monitor.

Cons: I don't like the wide frame around the screen. It's not terrible, but that doesn't mean I like it.

Other Thoughts: Current system:
Pentium E6300 @ 4.0GHz, Scythe Mugen "1", 6GB DDR2 800 CL5, Abit IP35-E, Radeon HD 3850.

I'll probably upgrade this system in the next few months with a Radeon HD 5750 and replace the secondary monitor with another one of these beauties.
