Acer S231HLbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI LED-Backlight LCD monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 ACM 12,000,000:1 (1000:1)

Pros: Cheap.

Cons: Dead pixel lines. I have 7 vertical full-screen lines that show up as different colors. Red, yellow, teal. The red one came first after a year of use. The others came along later. Would not recommend.

Pros: Very nice 23" monitor. Very bright. I am completely pleased with these monitors. I bought two of them to be mounted on my (Planar Dual Monitor Stand) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824995006

Cons: None so far.

Pros: i use to it for work, nice large screen. got it for 130$ so thought got a good deal.

Cons: none so far

Pros: Screen size is excellent, great color, for the price and the average person this is a great monitor

Cons: The stand is cheap, if I can figure out a way to attach it to my adjustable, swiveling tilt stand from my 14 in dell that will be great

Pros: I bought two of these monitors to run with my old 23" inch dell and they blend perfectly. No dead pixels, cheap for having HDMI and VESA mounts. i mounted these and now run eyefinty and works amazingly.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Resolution, size

Cons: Reliability

Other Thoughts: I've had this monitor for about 6 months. While the quality of images displayed are quite amazing, there is a major drawback. Every time I go to turn on my computer I cross my fingers hoping the monitor will turn on. More often than not it doesn't turn on. This forces me to reach over the monitor, unplug it and plug it in again about 10 - 15 times. If it doesn't turn on after 15 tries I just whip out my laptop. It really is a shame that I've built an exceptional gaming computer from the case up and the monitor is the issue. The hassle is hardly worth the money. I'll more than likely go looking for another when I get the money. Maybe I just got a faulty one but I would not recommend it. I'd rather have something more reliable.

Pros: cheap LED backlit display with VESA mount

Cons: I purchased this monitor because I needed a cheap display to hang on a VESA to act as a console for an machine. Cheap displays with VESA mounts seems to be a bit rare, so I was happy to find this one. I used the monitor sparsely for about a week and then mounted on a vesa arm. About 12 hours later the OSD UI started blinking on and getting random spurious button events and then powered off the display. Now the soft power button won't bring the display out of standby. The display draws power, but just won't wake up.

Other Thoughts: This monitor really isn't suitable for hanging on a vesa mount. The monitor is just the LCD panel in a very flimsy snap-on enclosure. The enclosure isn't really rigid enough to take the weight on the vesa mounting points. I suspect that failure is in the connection between the button board and the main display controller and was exacerbated by being mounted on a vesa arm.

Pros: Just bought this having to dire need of upgrading my present monitor which was a 19" with the colors fading out. Got it out of the box, greatly wrapped had no issues of plugging it up. Picture is very clear, this will make gaming for me much more better.

I'm glad to have bought this monitor on sale. Got it for $139 came with all the cords had no issues before. My last monitor was from Acer so buying again was no problem.

Glad I got this, would buy another one if I had too.
Hope this helps, if you are looking to buy.

Cons: None that I can notice yet, it does have a front tilt but I hear you are able to fix that. So, that gives this the 5 stars.

Other Thoughts: Worth the money.

Pros: HUGE screen size! i wasn't expecting this monitor to be this big haha. Very clear picture as well!

Cons: No swivel that i've found, which is somewhat neck-breaking because i'm so tall (6'2)

Other Thoughts: Other than the monitor having no swivle that i've found, this monitor is awesome!

Pros: Great heavy duty build. Massive. Done pretty well. Great airflow. quiet. Some reviewers get bad luck with mesh inside the case that has fallen out. I was lucky on that.

Cons: No handles or way to safely carry the case. I did however get unlucky with the fan LEDs not working. But, that doesn't bother me.

Other Thoughts: A solid buy for a full tower on a budget. Worth the price.
