Acer G236HLBbd Black 23" 5ms Widescreen LED Monitor 200 cd/m2 ACM 100,000,000:1 (600:1)

Pros: Cheap
Fairly reliable
Lightweight
No bad pixels (although that's the norm nowadays)

Cons: Narrow viewing angles
Washed out colour
No HDMI
No height-adjustable

Other Thoughts: I read review that stated that the colour is finicky on this monitor. It takes a bit of work to get it to a reasonable pallet - the defaults are very washed out. Do NOT use this monitor with another monitor of a different model, unless you don't mind having 2 different colour desktops.

The other problem I have is something someone else mentioned. The viewing angle is extremely narrow. If I center myself to the monitor, the edges start to distort in colour slightly. If the monitor were any larger it would be unusable.

The base is also very low / short compared to most other monitors and without an adjustable height, I ended up propping it up with a couple of books.

Overall an average monitor for an average to low price, but I feel like you could do better for the same price.

Pros: Great Picture, Lots of settings which can make the picture better, great price

Cons: I mean come on you are going to get a fade the more non-direct of an angel you get you if you buy two or three or surround might not be the best

Other Thoughts: In my opinion the best monitor you can get for the price.

Pros: cheap At 110

Cons: HORRIBLE PICTURE, NO SIDE VIEW.

Pros: Good affordable price tag, perfect size for gaming and dual monitor setup.

Cons: Only thing I have noticed, not even really a con, but something I am not used to... The lighting at the bottom of the screen seems a bit brighter than the rest.

Other Thoughts: Would buy again.

Pros: good price for a 23 inch-er
light weight

Cons: color are really washed-out, i cannot never calibrate it correctly, it always will have a 'white haze.' Best way to describe it is i have to really look and focus to see the black grid lines in an blank Excel sheet. I guess it reinforces what other have said, you can never get a good contrasting Black color.
It also has an annoying pulsing hiss, which mildly noticeable at night if you sleep close to the monitor. Have to turn off the Monitor to eliminate this problem. It's not loud per se but can be annoying.

Other Thoughts: for the price, it's a good deal. I use it for gaming so it gets the job done.

Pros: None

Cons: I own two other acer monitors from 2 years ago that I love.. This model has practically no usable viewing angle where the backlight is not washing out the monitor. Do not buy this monitor.

Pros: Displays colors good despite what others say, just sit in front of it and have it level with your eyes. Huge, great price, thin, i would buy again. Easy to put togeather

Cons: Closed Cell foam, i mean seriously, cant you people use nice soft open cell. The FPS is a little low, oh-well still a great monitor.

Pros: Cheap. OK for the price, if all you do is read emails.

Cons: Poor black lighting. Always appears to have a 50% opacity no matter how i tweek the settings. Colors seem not normal and everything looks foggy/smokey. Nothing is crisp and clean as it should be. I have spent many hours on tweeking the settings. This monitor is not acceptable. I have been happy with ACER in the past and would still purchase ACER again but not his model.

Pros: It's super sleek, Very Light, Great looking housing
It's discounted price

Cons: The coloring is awful. I have it sitting as my middle of 3 monitors and it doesn't even compare to my 2 LCD monitors on each side. They put the quality of color to shame on this monitor.

Tomorrow I am sending it back to newegg and buying something way better

Other Thoughts: If you are looking for a monitor for great color and clarity or if you are a gamer or frequently watch movies on your computer... DO NOT buy this monitor!

Pros: This monitor has an amazing display, ESPECIALLY for the price! Controls are on the bottom side of the monitor which make it a little difficult to adjust, but I haven't had any need to yet - plug and play with 100% satasfaction

Cons: I bought two screens and both were packaged the same way - the packaging secured the monitor well, but not much else. Both packages arrived perfectly fine for me with no damage whatsoever, but I can see how it could be a problem.

There is also only one way to mount the monitor and it is on the provided stand. You can see in the pictures that it would be difficult if not impossible to mount the monitors in a vertical position

No HDMI. I conveniently have an HDMI to DVI converter, but would have been stuck without it

Other Thoughts: The packaging comes with both VGA and DVI cables (5ft)
