Rating + 5 Reliable product!


Pros: I've had this monitor for the last couple of years, and I have yet to see a dead pixel or any defects. It's been dropped, sat on, hauled around in luggage, and anything in between. While I wouldn't advise doing this, it definately stands up to my test of time.

Cons: As long as you know what you're paying for and what your paying for works, you should never have a con. All came as advertised.

Other Thoughts: Max res is 1440 x 900, but thats fine for me.

Rating + 5 So Far It's Excellent


Pros: Great Price From Newegg...Great Monitor...EZ To Set Up

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I kept my old CRT monitor just in case this monitor didn't quite live up to the ratings that I read. I'm now giving my CRT away and keeping this monitor. The colors are crisp and clear. It works great at any of the settings available. It's an overall great buy! If you're looking for an inexpensive and overall great monitor...GET THIS ONE!

Rating + 4 Doesn't agree with some video cards


Pros: Good price, no bad pixels, reliable for over a year, no problems... except:

Cons: Absolutely will not work right with my NVIDIA; rare but known problem that most have been able to solve by installing Acer's monitor drivers & reinstalling video drivers + creating a custom resolution, but I (and a few others) have not. System insists it is an analog monitor; constant jitter, and small text is fudged. Painful to the eyes over extended periods. It's as if the Hz doesn't match.

Other Thoughts: Don't care that the base is weak & monitor needs stable surface; the jitter/flicker is a killer. Would not buy again due to this problem.

Pros: Good Quality Low Price

Cons: none so far...wish the stands would rotate the monitors 90 degrees so I could do some tallscreen gaming ;)

Other Thoughts: Purchased two. 1 had a single dead pixel that eventually disappeared and is now working fine, the other was perfect and still is.

Pros: This monitor is unbeatable, considering the price. Nice clear picture. This monitor also has very thin borders at just over 1/2 inch which makes it ideal for dual display setups

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I am not a video game fanatic , i use this monitor for mostly recording studio purposes. In a dual setup.

Pros: great colors, automatic settings work well, good on almost any resolution (up to 1440x900)

Cons: blacks could be a little deeper

Other Thoughts: I've had this monitor for a long time, bought it after seeing at a computer repair shop a buddy of mine works at and picked it up right there. Got the display model so I know this thing has been put through everything and still works awesome on my desk.

Rating + 5 Very Good Work Monitor On Budget


Pros: No dead pixels. Great for text on everyday business use on internet and Microsoft Office documents. Never seen any lag when streaming video off the internet. This is my first non-laptop LCD display. Going from a 17" CRT to this has made me more productive by being able to display windows next to each other to copy from. No more printing screens or flip-flopping back and forth.

Cons: I do not game, but with only a 8ms response time, do you homework if you are a gamer.

Other Thoughts: I am using an old ATI 9600XT Radeon AGP video card. I always believe that ATI is a better 2D card than the competition except for very expensive work station cards. Some reviewers would have a different experience if they were using a different video card, or tweaked the video settings.

Rating + 3 Horrible viewing angles


Pros: Cheap, widescreen, somewhat slim borders, good sturdy stand, slim, DVI.

Cons: Horrible viewing angles. I didn't realize it when I bought it, I must have missed it or something. Someone already commented on it and it's true.

Viewing angle: 150°(H) / 130°(V)

So yeah, if you're not eye level with / perpendicular to the monitor, you can't see it. The side angles aren't as bad, but they're not the best either, pretty bad too.

The power button is a little loose or something. I sometimes gotta press it twice. I gotta make sure I press it dead center.

There is some backlighting issue too, but not that bothersome.

Other Thoughts: Know what you're getting before you buy this. The viewing angles, be sure you're ok with them before you buy it. It's a great monitor for the price if you're the only person who will be using this at a time.

It's good for programming as I can have a couple windows opened with enough space for me to read and program. It's got good colors, nice for gaming.

It's not good for watching movies with some people, or doing anything else that would have more than one person watching the screen. If you don't like hovering though, this monitor is for you.

Great buy if you're ok with the viewing angle. Be warned.

Pros: First off, it's a beautiful monitor and the colors are amazing. No ghosting or dead pixels. Size is perfect for me.

Cons: Some tilt would be nice but hey what more should you ask for.q

Other Thoughts: This is the monitor that shows that you don't need to spend $200-300 to get a nice monitor. There is nothing to complain about this monitor, it's that simple. Possibly best deal in monitors on site

Pros: This monitor is really awesome. For the price I couldn't have been happier. The menu is very easy to use and features settings that adjust the brightness for games, movies or general use at the click of a button. Very nice.

Cons: This monitor doesn't appear to have a way to do 4:3 mode, but it could be my video card.

Other Thoughts: For an affordable, quality monitor this is as good as it gets.

Rating + 4 Did not last one year - backed by good service


Pros: While it lasted, it was a fine monitor. I ordered this monitor Sept 13 2006. It was dead on Sept 1 2007. Somewhat annoying. Monitor was shipped to the service center on Sept 4 2007. Repaired monitor was received on Sept 19 2007. So far, I'm satisified.

Cons: I ordered this monitor Sept 13 2006. It was dead on Sept 1 2007. Somewhat annoying.

Other Thoughts: The 800 support number provided on the Manufacturer Info tab worked very well. A real person answered immediately and was very helpful. This 4-star rating replaces my original 1-star rating, based on the way Acer handled the repair.

Rating + 3 good, but not the best


Pros: vibrant colors, seems bigger than most 19inch lcds (comparing to what the local electronics store had on their shelves) stand is pretty solid compared to other lcds... just looks great... rare to get a dead pixel on these...

Cons: minor backlight bleeding at top and bottom only noticable on black screen, sufficient ghosting on dark colors while playing movies, NO ghosting during gameing (WoW, HL2, Fear)

Other Thoughts: maybe the newer ones dont have the problems mine has, or maybe mines one of the few that didnt roll off the rack the way it should have.... but non the less, its still a great monitor for gaming and desktop apps.

Rating + 4 great monitor


Pros: This is a great 19" monitor. I got it from newegg about seven months ago and it does great. Crisp, clear picture, no dead pixels and no ghosting whatsoever. The auto configure works very well; in fact, I don't think I've ever used the OSD. Well worth the money. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Cons: I don't believe the 5ms is accurate, although I haven't formally tested. The screen is slightly brighter on the right and left sides where the florescent backlights seem to show through a bit more. There is no DVI input and the base isn't height-adjustable.

Other Thoughts: I don't think the delay will bother anyone but very dedicated gamers. There are no built in speakers (a good thing in my opinion). The base is stable yet has a small footprint. Also, the height of the stand is about perfect for me, even though it isn't adjustable.

of course newegg is great. newegg is always great. always fast shipping and an uber-friendly group of people

Other Thoughts: The dead pixel is, luckily, off to the side and light blue. So it's only really bothersome when I'm playing a game with a lot of dark areas. Otherwise it's about what I would expect for the price.

Cons: Every time you turn it on, it shows the acer logo for 3 seconds first. Came with one dead pixel but it disappeared after about a week ????? Also, the edges aren't as slim as I'd like them to be.

Other Thoughts: I spent a few days researching and reading reviews. For the price and stats, this one came in first. And of course, Newegg is phenomenal.

Rating + 3 Ok


Pros: Great price, wide screen, 19", No dead pixels, fast response, no ghosting.

Cons: HORRIBLE viewing angle. If you are not eye level with the monitor then the top will appear dark. If you stand above it and look down, its mostly unreadable. My eye level is to the bottom half of the screen and it appears darker on the top. No adjustable stand.

Other Thoughts: Had this monitor for a while and recently got a new desk. When you are perfectly eye level the monitor is great, but if your monitor sits above or below, then you can have bad results. I end up having to keep my eye level to the top half of the screen to see everything as it should be.

Pros: All the Specs on this ACER are very High and it stands up to its brand, I have had this for 5 months and no problems. Easy to use Settings in the menu on the Monitor. Easy to read Manual and Install Disc for Drivers, of which loaded fine. Would recommend this Monitor to anyone upgrading their old one.

Cons: Minor to me, I had a old CRT 17" and going from that to a 19" Widescreen LCD was a change to get used to the Look was too bright at first until I adjusted the monitor menu settings. Works 110%.

Other Thoughts: A Very superior monitor overall, Once Again very inmpressed with Newegg's service, and will be a customer in the future.

Rating + 5 Impressive!


Pros: Contrast is nice, a little bright coming from a Nec MultiSync 77F, but you get used to it. NO dead pixels, no ghosting. Games are SO much better now. I was a little uneasy about the widescreen, but after a few minutes you get used to it and you never want to go back to 4:3.

Cons: 16:10 resolution not supported by all games and no way to set it to 4:3-monitor stretches image. I miss having the glass over the screen on the CRT monitors because they were so much less delicate and easier to keep clean, this screen feels more rigid than most, but I'm still uneasy about cleaning it. 1440x900 resolution is a little tough for my aging 6800 GS OC to keep up with, but thats my fault for not upgrading.

Other Thoughts: I wanted an LCD to replace my aging CRT that was starting to display weird colors (lots of LANs). Widescreen really grows on you, and this just displays things SOOO well. Once you see Oblivion played on this LCD, you'll want it :)

Pros: Great monitor for a great price. This thing has a great picture, but you may need to get a srtonger video card. I ahve a 7600 gt ko and it runs all my games on great graphics( cod 2 far cry etc.) and have them bumped up to 1440*900. It drops the frame rate but just by a little. COD 2 on wide 16:10 is awesome!

Cons: If u dont have a good video card u may lag if on 1440x900 and 16:10 widescreen. If the game is run on a low resolution it will stretch the game out making it look somewaht ugly(fyi. BF 2 does not really support any resolutions that best are on this monitor, so its streched out and looks kinda weird but not very bad.

Other Thoughts: No dead pics! and it came earlier than waht i paid for so TY NEWEGG!!

Cons: Took just a little experimenting to "warm up" the video...all LCD's typically have an "icy" appearance I think because of the fluourescent backlight, but still this one warms up satisfactorily.

Rating + 5 Great product at an even better price!


Pros: Amazing product. I love it. Cristal clear, extremely bright, beautiful interface, sleek finish, light weight... I could go on all day. If you're in the market, get this darn monitor! Worth every penny if not more so, and the widescreen is out of this world!

Cons: Today I moved it and it started buzzing at me. I reset it and it stopped, hasn't done it since... I think I may have pressed a button of some sort.

Other Thoughts: I will be shopping with Newegg again. Forget Sony & Viewsonic... Why pay more for that when I'm so happy with this Acer product?

Pros: Cheap. Got it on sale at Newegg in June. Haven't found a 19" widescreen since for the same price. Free shipping too. Incredible deal and the monitor is supreme. I was surprised at how good a job Acer did on the contrasts. Colors are almost perfect.

Cons: Screen doesn't tilt. Had to put an old cassette under front edge of stand. Whoooop de doo! Doesn't make this a bad monitor!

Other Thoughts: Glad I bought it. Go Acer!!!

Pros: There were no dead pixels, at least none that i have noticed.

The monitor showed up a few days after i had ordered it, really fast shiipping,

The monitor is just huge. I upgraded from a normal monitor, and fitting the LCD one into the same space gave me an extra 2 (horizontal) inches of screen space AND a foot of desk space.

Cons: no problems with this monitor.

Other Thoughts: Only difficulties i had were with the delivery, where the UPS people wouldn't show up at my house when i was there, so i had to drive ~20 mi to the UPS place to pick the monitor up.

I would definately reccommend this monitor to anyone.

Pros: Very bright, high contrast, zero dead pixels, overall the picture looks amazing.

Cons: You can't change the height of the stand that it coms with

Other Thoughts: If you are thinking about upgrading to a widescreen monitor on a budget, GET THIS MONITOR. Nothing under $200 beats it. I am considering buying another to put next to this one because it looks so good.

Rating + 4 You can't go wrong w/ Acer and NewEgg!


Pros: 1440x900 resolution offers better view of websites, spreadsheets, and widescreen movies. Picture quality is great and can be seen at almost all angles. Anti-glare screen is a plus. Price for this size/brand LCD was excellent.

Cons: 1 dead pixel (blue) can only be seen on dark backgrounds. After a month of use, I've almost forgotten that it's there. DVI input would be nice.

Other Thoughts: I should have waited for the AL1917WAbd to drop in price - it's now the same price I paid for this one and has both D-Sub and DVI inputs and built-in speakers (good option to use as surround or center speakers with a 2.1 setup).

Rating + 5 Well worth it


Pros: This is a beautiful monitor. The screen is enormous and the picture quality is excellent. The construction is high quality and I had no dead pixels.

Cons: I had problems for about 30 minutes where one sectiion of the screen was out of focus. When I adjusted the focus setting, the out-of-focus area would just move across the screen. It happened after the monitor executed an auto-configuration and I couldn't get it to go away until about half an hour later, an auto-config finally fixed it (I had tried this multiple times, but it didn't work until this time). It was only slightly out of focus, affected only a small portion of the screen and only lasted a short time. This has not affected my satisfaction with the product at all.

Other Thoughts: This monitor will suit your needs and will do it at a fraction of the price of other similar monitors. Brand name. Great quality. Great price.

Rating + 5 HUGE and Pretty


Pros: I was in awe when I opened the box for this thing, first off, the screen is HUGE. It has NO dead pixels at all and the picture is really great.

Cons: It takes a while to get used to the widescreen. The connector for this didn't fit my video card but luckily my video card came with an adapter, so I don't know if this is a con on the video card or this monitor.

No biggy really, I bet an adapter would be like 5-10 extra bucks anyways.

Other Thoughts: Reeeaaally nice monitor, definately get this if you like big screens.

Rating + 5 INCREDIBLE


Pros: This thing lights up the room with color. Out of the box it took me maybe 2 minutes to install and set up. Image was set automatically, but is best viewed at 1440x090.
The color jumps out at you, and there was not a single dead pixel or any other problems that many people mention upon getting an LCD.

Cons: no "buy one, get one free" deal. heheh.
The only thing better than one is two!

Other Thoughts: I do a lot of photo editing and with my old monitor i just could not get the colors right, or see fine details. It was dark and old.
I have to go through and look at all of my photos again with the new LCD. Its like they are new photos all over again!
The size doesn't really adjust well for anything under 1440x900, but if your graphics card supports it, why would you want anything less than that??

GREAT BUY. GREAT PRICE.
THANK YOU NEWEGG

Rating + 5 I'm Impressed


Pros: I was skepticle of the price of this monitor. I was also very skeptical of switching over to a CRT, especilly from a high quality CRT. WOW, Ever since the first second I turned it on, I was IMPRESSED!
*Little to NO backlight..NONE
*Runs at 75Hz, which is very competitve of other low-priced LCDS
*WIDESCREEN
*High Quality, Good Picture

Cons: *For the price, there is NO Cons whatsover. I was worried most about the backlight, but I must say, there is NONE on mine.

Other Thoughts: My Friend has a samsung LCD, and there is very noticible backlight. This one has again- NONE. I was expecting some, but again, NONE!!! Picture quality is great, I couldn't be happier with the CRT - LCD Switch!

Pros: Affordable widescreen, no dead pixels.

Cons: Not digital, could be brighter, 1 out of 4 had a stuck pixel. Macs don't default to the correct resolution.

Other Thoughts: I bought 4 of these for the office right before the DVI version came out. Newegg has a much better deal on that version so I wouldn't bother with this monitor.

Rating + 5 Top of the line product


Pros: For under $xxx, you can't beat this as a 19" widescreen lcd. This is the first LCD I've ever bought, and I was really worried about dead pixels. Not a single one.

Cons: The max resolution is 1440x900, and for some reason, when I hook it up to my powerbook, the resolutions don't sync up. The highest res my powerbook goes to is 1280x854, so everything is a little bigger on my LCD.

Other Thoughts: Buy this LCD, you wn't regret it

Pros: This is a very affordable flat panel LCD monitor. Excellent for its size. Clear resolution, no ghosting in games, bright colors, and takes up so little desk space. Plus, it's widescreen! :)

Cons: Came with one discolored pixel, at the bottom of the screen. Not noticable at all. You need 8 dead pixels for a RMA, and these things are relatively common on all LCD screens, so I didn't take a star off for it.

Other Thoughts: I switched from a CRT 20 inch, now I can actually do things on my desk!

Rating + 5 Wonderful value on a great monitor!


Pros: I bought this monitor a few weeks ago when the previous special was going on, and I'm an extremely happy consumer. Its response time tested 7-11ms for me, but I've still noticed zero ghosting, and the color is fantastic. No dead pixels, and super-fast shipping!

Cons: The included stand for this monitor does not allow pitch, so you cannot point the face up or down. I didn't need this functionality, so it didn't affect my rating.

Other Thoughts: I'm considering buying two more of these for a tri-display setup. I'll post again if I decide to do this. (:

Pros: Way to go Acer! This is an outstanding 19" widescreen that won't break the wallet. Colors are vivid, response is quick, and no dead pixels.

Cons: The backlight bleeds ever so slightly from the edges to the center; only noticeable with very dark images.

Other Thoughts: Monitor may be a little to bright for some, and, as stated above, the backlight bleeds slightly; neither bother me at all -- everyone is different I guess.

Rating + 5 Beautiful...


Pros: -Widescreen
-19 inches of widescreen
-19 5ms and 700:1 contrast inches of widescreen
-Really lightweight compared to other LCDs I've handled

Cons: -Can see some of the backlight on the corners of the screen when it's a black screen, like a screensaver, but only when the whole screen is black

Other Thoughts: Just got this today with no dead pixels and a beautiful, beautiful image. The widescreen makes things much easier to sort and look at, especially web browsing.

Games look great. F.E.A.R., BF2, HL2, and Brothers in Arms all look awesome in widescreen mode. Doesn't hurt that I just got a new X850XT, as well :D.

Movies take up more of the screen than normal (obviously), which is very nice. This replaced my old 15" LCD and it's about the size of TWO 15" LCDs right next to each other or at least it feels that way, it's that big.
