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

Pros: Good price, no dead pixels, great for everyday use.

Cons: Narrow vertical viewing angle. I knew this going in from the reviews so not worth an egg.

Other Thoughts: I got this as a gift for my daughter-in-law and she loves it, no complaints at all. I had a chance to use it extensively over the weekend, and can tell you the shift is only apparent with dark colors, especially black.

If you need a monitor with high color accuracy this one isn't for you, but it you're just doing the day-to-day stuff most of us do (including gaming) it's a good choice for the price.

Pros: Price, great size, thin

Cons: The viewing angles aren't great. Color isn't too bad - but even adjusted it's not graphic design quality.

Other Thoughts: I bought this two months ago for my wife as a cheap replacement secondary monitor. She doesn't mind it. I don't think I could personally use it due to color quality and the viewing angles. I'll stick with my IPS Dell monitors.

Pros: Cheap.
Clear.
Thin
Lightweight

Cons: Sits a little low, no height adjustment.

Other Thoughts: I own a $200 ASUS 1080p monitor and there's not much difference. No HDMI hookup isn't a bad thing, because there's no speakers on this thing anyway.

Pros: Very Lightweight. Very small power cable like it's for an external HDD.

Cons: Kind of lighter overall than I'd like, and I can't see it well at any angle other than straight-on, which sucks because I have all my monitors raised about 3" off my desk with various objects (so that the objects can also be on the desk... XBox, Cable box, large KVM, etc).

Other Thoughts: The power cable thing could become an issue if I lose it, as it is not a standard cable... just something to keep in mind if you lose things like that often.

Pros: Set was easy! pop in stand and plug in the cord and hooked up my docking station to my laptop...I have dual screens! Awesome, sweet and love it! Just ordered a second monitor to have a second monitor all feeding from my laptop! Super Sweet! Tamara

Cons: I have not found any yet, at this price, I do not believe I will!

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.
