Acer G226HQLBbd Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen LED Monitor200 cd/m2 ACM 100,000,000:1 (600:1) No

Pros: Super light, decent size, cheap

Cons: I'm surprised this has such high reviews, so much so I wonder if I just got a bad monitor or if there is some gaming of review scores going on.

I've never given a 1 star review before but this monitor is unacceptable. The viewing angle is so narrow I can't find an angle where half the screen isn't just washed out colors. There are minimal settings on the monitor itself and using my video card to adjust the settings helped but not nearly enough to salvage the monitor.

It's shocking how bad it looks compared to a monitor I purchased 5 years ago for $100 (almost the same size too).

Other Thoughts: I don't see any reason to buy this monitor, buy a cheaper one and you will probably get a higher quality. I was suckered in by the LED spec because I have an LED TV I enjoy but I didn't experience any of these problems with the LED TV.

Pros: I dont notice any bleeding around the edges.
SUPER THIN, like a DVD case.
Good size for gaming. 1080p.

Cons: no HDMI :(

Other Thoughts: I personally like the four legged stand.
Feels solid and not flimsy.

Pros: I now I have 2 of these monitors. My first one is great! Great picture, viewing angles are nice. But the one I just ordered...

Cons: If you read my pros you know I already had one of these, I love it, but.... I just ordered another to replace a different model and I am extremely dissapointed. I bought the SAME monitor but this monitor seems so different. The viewing angles are terrible. I move slightly and everything looks washed with wite, plus the color isn't very vibrant. I've been trying to mess with the settings to match my other (SAME MODEL) monitor but I can't.

Other Thoughts: I hope this is a one time thing. It's almost like they gave me a completely different monitor....

Pros: Light, nice picture, bright, not a bad price. I don't really have problems with the picture.

Cons: The stand is a tad short for me. I just wish it had some more height to it

Pros: Its cheap. Decent size.

Cons: The viewing angle is so bad. Unless you are directly in front of it you may as well be looking at a negative picture. Took me ages to get the color settings just to be acceptable and its still not that good. It has no vesa mounts but I know that going in so cant really knock eggs off for that. Honestly I am not pleased. Don't really feel like dealing with a return process but if you are thinking about buying this monitor don't. Its not worth the price. Spend the extra money and get a decent one.

Pros: It works.
Plenty of brightness.
1920x1080 resolution looks good.
What else is there to say about a monitor?

Cons: The stand is basic.

Other Thoughts: I've been using 2 of these monitors on 2 different computer systems for several months now. I like them. They're better than what I use at work. I'm not a monitor expert, but these look good and work at 1920x1080 so I'm happy. If I set up a dual monitor system, I'd add another one of these.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Stand is very bad and it is at a very low height.

Pros: Very nice looking HD monitor. Clean, crisp image.

Cons: Really bright.... I had to turn down the brightness. As long as your sitting directly in front of the monitor, everything will look great. If the monitor is at any other angle images will appear gray and discolored. Easily adjustable though.

Pros: No dead pixels
Big

Cons: It's pretty bright. I am working on how to adjust this to a comfortable level. Can be very annoying with while backgrounds such as Newegg.com

A little light bleed coming from the bottom of the screen. If the stand was 2 inches taller I wouldnt see it. I will buy or make a wooden platform that will bring the screen up by 2 inches. No biggie for the price.

Stand tilter was a lil stiff. Had to unbolt it and work it with a set of pliers to loosen it up. Again, no biggie. I assumed things like this would happen for the price.

Other Thoughts: Take my review as you will. I recent;y upgraded from a dying 16 inch CRT monitor that I had for 9 years, so this current one is a HUGE improvement. Personally, if I can work with this brightness it will be a perfect monitor for me.

Pros: -Simple to put together
-Color quality is beautiful when sitting at the correct angle
-Great for gaming
-Very great price!

Cons: -Color quality isn't that great unless you're sitting at the right angle, but adjusting it is easy
