Rating + 5 Great Monitor


Pros: Great monitors, specially for the price, this is the third Acer flat panel I've boughten in the past 4 months and all three of them work flawlessly. The ghosting in games is a lot better than many panels I've seen and they are nice and bright. All in all a good buy

Cons: None, its an Acer

Other Thoughts: Well Acer goes for the best bang for the buck, so if your looking for a monitor that looks pretty when its off, pick something else.

Pros: Clear picture, solid design, wide base so you don't have to worry about balance.

Cons: The auto-adjust feature is a little annoying if you're alt-tabbing out of a game or full-screen programs.

Other Thoughts: Auto-adjust feature should be optional. Unless I didn't look around enough.

Rating + 5 Awesome!


Pros: No dead/stuck pixels, viewable area is basically on par with a 21" CRT, 8ms=no ghosting in gaming, capable of being *very* bright (first thing you should do is turn it down!).

Cons: Stand is a bit hard to adjust vertically (requires more than just regular pliers -- so much trouble, I've decided against it). My only small picky thing is the dot-pitch; a 17in would obviously look better, but that is the tradeoff for a large viewable area! It only accentuates jaggies in games, although 2xAA (and especially 4xAA) combats it well enough.

Other Thoughts: If this is your first time with DVI, be aware that the long pin may not align perfectly with the female socket -- you may need to nudge it with a hard object a bit to center it slightly. LCDs still can't beat nice CRTs, but they are definitely capable of doing the job they are intended for. Don't worry about ghosting problems, since there are none (I've played lots of BF2/Q4/CSS and it's fine!).

Rating + 4 Great Buy but takes too long to warm up


Pros: Excellent resolution and contrast. This monitor is even brighter than I expected/wanted. Perfect for Windows Vista Aero and any kind of gaming. Newegg also never disappoints; I got the display in about one day and in great condition.

Cons: My main concern is that the ACER logo comes up for several seconds every time the display turns on and the display has to auto adjust itself every time. Easier to just leave it on and put the computer to sleep. Easy with Vista since it's an OS made for sleeping judging by their start menu. Doesn't turn on its stand. You need to turn the whole base to turn it around.

Other Thoughts: Overall a great display for an unbeatable price. Newegg still the best.

Rating + 5 Great monitor


Pros: No dead pixels. Although i didnt like the picture at first, i played around with the controls and its beautiful. Excelent price. no regrets

Cons: monitor is kinda wobbly by the way it rests on the stand but thats only a problem if u try and move it around alot. If your trying to wall mount it [which i was planning on at first] i couldnt remove the back arm that slides onto the base (easily), so this isnt great for mounting i guess.

Other Thoughts: Great monitor for the price. i have no regrets. would buy another one.

I dont review things unless i love them or hate them. This i thought was definitly worth reviewing because buying monitors are always a pain. Look no furthur if money is an issue, this will do that job just fine!

Pros: It worked, for 3 days. Because its an LCD, small use of deskspace.

Cons: Had visable color problems. Middle of the screen was lighter than the edges, broke within first weak.

Other Thoughts: Sent it back to NewEgg, said it was out of stock, got my refund, and got a much better (plus its 22") ViewSonic monitor. Love it so much better !

Pros: Excellent monitor. Actually purchased it for my dad and he has loved the change from an old 15" CRT.

Cons: Died about 2 and half months into it. Contacted Acer and they arranged a return shipping. Got the new monitor from them in less than two weeks.

Other Thoughts: Second monitor has worked great. Not sure what happened to the first but Acer was excellent with support.

Rating + 2 Stay away from Acer


Pros: Nice profile, price is super low, fairly slick looking. Looked decent while it worked!

Cons: Died on me after 5 months. About a month ago it would occasionally blink out for a few seconds and come back on, as if the computer went into hibernation while I was working (it wasn't). Knew this was a bad sign. Last night I stepped out to get dinner, came back and it was dead. I figured the price was too low for a great monitor, and I was right.

The viewing angle also wasn't great for me. I had to prop a CD case under the flimsy stand to get a nice bright picture at my eye-level.

Other Thoughts: I'd stay away from Acer and go with Viewsonic or Chimei (look it up) rather than risk the money.

Rating + 4 Great picture, flimsy stand


Pros: The picture is fantastic, it's sharp and clear; the size is more than enough for the average gamer.

Cons: The stand is very flimsy. Do not use this unless you will have a very sturdy desk on which to put it. Movement can very easily turn it over.

Other Thoughts: The monitor is attatched to the base by four plastic snaps. It is thin plastic and can be easily broken. Be careful with this monitor.

Pros: Crystal clear, no dead pixels, the cord has a good length to it (although i have a somewhat small desk so subject to change), and fast delivery (got it two days before expected).

Cons: As some others have said, it would've been nice to have more adjustability to it, but it doesn't bother me at all.

Other Thoughts: Well worth the price. I would recommend this monitor to those looking for an affordable 19" LCD.

Rating + 4 I like it


Pros: No dead pixels. Very clear display although settings may need tweaked. All you see is the screen, the edges are very thin.

Cons: Would be nice if it had and adjustable stand and a DVI port. The verticle viewing angle from a downward angle is less than I would like, but it forces me to sit up a little more in my chair so I guess it's not so bad for me.

Other Thoughts: I have 2 of them, one of them came very clear out of the box, the other was dark and needed adjustment.

Pros: I jus tgot this monitor today thnx to newegg with the fast processing and shipping. It works great plugged it in and started up fine color is warmer than im used to but great color none-the-less.

Cons: At first i didnt think that it would matter without height adjustment but it sits lower than other monitors, so for my duel setup this one is about a 1/4" lower.

Other Thoughts: Great monitor, no dead pixels, cheap and hopefully it last for a while.

Rating + 5 completely satisfied


Pros: no dead pixels! uses every one bit of the screen automatically, there is no awkward resizing, shifting, or shaping. after comparing my old 15" crt my brother called it a +4 monitor of sight. 19" is a lot. the focus is on the screen not the casing, because the edges around the screen are diminuitive, not like others where you have about 4" of plastic case on each side of the screen.

Cons: some people say you need to be able to ajdust the height, and i agree, but i make do with an old calculus book. i'm a college student, i've become very resourcefull. the tilt of the screen allows for comfortable viewing at almost any height though.

Pros: Great price. Large, bright screen. Major step up from a 17" CRT.

Cons: Had to send to ACER for repair right out of the box. Base very hard to remove, requires 4 hands.

Other Thoughts: Out of the box the monitor did not work. Directed to ACER for warranty repair. Three weeks after purchase the monitor was returned repaired. ACER was easy to work with and NewEgg provided an immediate purchase credit and an additional credit for a future purchase. Excellent way to keep a customer returning.

Rating + 5 Very satisfied!


Pros: Fast, clear, great colors, easy to use setup menu + auto feature

Cons: No DVI input, 1280x1024 resolution, not much in terms of positioning

Other Thoughts: I have finally gave up on my huge and bulky 21" CRT and bought my first LCD. At first, I was a little concerned about switching to lower resolution (from 1200x1600) and to smaller screen size, but most of all I was concerned about color depth (photography is a hobby of mine).

This monitor is superb for its price. No flicker, great colors, very space-saving compared to my old CRT, and playing UT2004 on full settings I notice no ghosting (watching movies is also amazing - everything is clear and sharp). No dead pixels either. Of course, if you need things like DVI, better swiveling angles or 90 degree rotation, you'll have to pay more money. But I don't need those feature, thus this monitor is excellent for me.

Pros: Very fast shipment, got it the second day after ordering. Nice monitor, it was easy to hook it up and get going. Replaced an old 19" CRT and am really liking the 1200 X 1024 resolution. Lots more real estate to use when opening multiple windows and the picture is really crisp.

Cons: Don't buy this monitor if you want to use 800 by 600 or 1024 by 768 resolution. It frays the edges of all the fonts and pictures.

Pros: Big, bright screen. I had to turn it down. =O Not too heavy, good for LAN parties. Speaking of games, good response time leads to no ghosting. Socket for a lock cable (Good to have when you live in student housing).

Cons: No DVI. No adjustable height, but that seems to be the standard. Max resolution is the same as my Samsung 17" LCD, could be higher IMO.

Other Thoughts: I've been happy with this monitor so far. It burns me up that two years ago I paid almost $400 for a 17" LCD, and that was "reasonable" for one of that quality. Friend of mine was watching me play World of Warcraft on this and was jealous.

Rating + 5 Ah, that's much better


Pros: Built a new pc and this monitor to go with, my first LCD. I never realized how cruddy CRT was before now. The price was nice, very happy with the performance and look of it.

Cons: When I first opened it up and plugged it in I would notice a red dot to the left side whenever the display was something dark. I thought that must be what a dead pixel was since I'd never seen one before. I was pretty upset at that and then even more so when I read something on the manufacturer's site about replacement of product only if there were more than 2 dead pixels in any quadrant of the screen or something like that. But then, oddly, after rubbing at the stupid dot in frustration, it went away...just poof, gone, hasn't been back since. I'm really not sure what to think about that...

Other Thoughts: I love my games on this screen!

Rating + 2 Dead pixel right out of the box


Pros: The screen is bright...

Cons: Dead pixel right out of the box in the center of the screen. No returning to NewEgg, have to go though Acer.

Only supports 1280x1024

Other Thoughts: If you are gettinga 19' LCD get one that supports more than 1280x1024, I missed this when I purchased this monitor. Was assming it would do 1600x1280, or similar high res, since most other 19' ones do

Rating + 5 Very pleased, so far


Pros: It's BIG, sharp, clear and bright. Vivid colors. Very easy setup. NO dead or stuck pixels. Intuitive controls; very clean, minimal design. NOTICE THE PRICE, too. Wasn't long ago you couldn't get a 17" for so little money.

Did I say it was BIG?

Cons: Too much flex in the stand; the neck should have been made of thicker plastic. Flimsy. If your table is not sturdy, movement will cause the screen to wobble slightly. Minor problem.

Other Thoughts: Upgrading from 15" CRT, this thing is like an IMAX. I turned down the brightness and contrast by half to make it comfortable to look at.

At 1280 x 1024 native resolution, text is LASER SHARP. Text at all other settings (emulations) looks like cr*p. If you work with text, you must run it at 1280 x 1024.

I'm not a gamer, so I don't know how it behaves with intense graphics. My digital photos are brilliant, clear and vibrant. Colors seem true. Big size is nice for photo editing. For general office work and net surfing, this monitor is way more than adequate.

Will post another review when I've lived with it for a while.

Pros: Nice picture, 0 dead pixels, wall mounted it with a vesa 75/100 swingarm mount.

Cons: Difficult to remove the stand and neck(the neck specifically) had to use a knife or thin screwdriver to pop the back of the monitor off to access the screws to remove the neck, but it all worked out in the end. Not a con really, but not easy.

Other Thoughts: Pretty nice monitor if you don't want/need dvi, awesome price, rebate came in 2 weeks.

Pros: Price w/rebate is less than two-hundred bucks so it's a great deal for a19" w/700:1 and and 8ms response time. VERY bright.

Cons: I have google desktop and the monitor did seem to bork on certain settings between white and blue text, but I brought down the brightness and it looks great now.

Other Thoughts: It's a GREAT monitor for the price. You have to play with the settings a little to get it right, but now that I have I really like watching movies on it etc. (I"m using it as a second monitor) WORTH THE PRICE!

Pros: I bought this for my mother to upgrade from a 15" CRT She acts like it is a new computer now. I haven't had a chance to use it only to set it up and there were no Dead pixels.

xxx for the LCD after rebate.
xx Shipping.
Making my Mother very happy. (Priceless)

Cons: No DVI but knew that when I bought it for my Mother's PC. She does not have a DVI output.

Other Thoughts: If you are upgrading from a CRT, this is a an easy decision. Get it.

Rating + 5 Good Value


Pros: 1) Plug and Play (amazing auto tuning)
2) Good brightness and nice contrast rating
3) No ghosting seen yet (I have played Halo and Far Cry so far)
4) No dead/frozen pixels
5) Newegg is awesome and shipping was decent

Cons: 1) Non-sturdy stand (no big deal)
2) Some glare with the sun behind me
3) Analog only (doesn't appear to work with a DVI adapter)

Other Thoughts: I haven't owned this monitor a long time, but my first impressions are good. I upgraded from a 5 year old 17" CRT. Of course the colors and clarity are not as good as a CRT, but they are darn close. If you want it to look just like a CRT then you are going to have to spend twice as much as this. BTW, the port on the back of the monitor was not hard for ME to use, I don't know about you people. .294 pitch is fine with this monitor because of the high resolution.

Pros: good clear picture, big screen, easy OSD menu. nice long cables to reach the power strip and tower.

Cons: 1 stuck pixel....annoying, but not in a horrible place. cables are hard to plug in on back of monitor. if you have big hands, good luck. more of an annoyance than anything. kind of a flimsy stand, but no earthquakes here, so i'm good.

Other Thoughts: it's not the best monitor you can get, but it does well for a upper-middle of the road.

No dead pixels and the display is bright, has very good contrast, with a nice high refresh rate. Going from a 17 inch analog monitor to this 19 inch LCD made all the difference in the world!

Rating + 4 Good buy, though a design problem


Pros: Nice crsip and clean picture, good for games and videos

Cons: The DVI port could be in a better location, while using it I found that because of it's location the cable pulls itself away from the monitor causing the image get red several red lines in any areas where it's black. VGA works fine, but the DVI problem is a design issue...

Other Thoughts: I bought the silver version of this monitor from elsewhere but I thought I'd comment on it here... I used a dead pixel finder online to discover 3 non conforming pixels, 2 when the screen all red, one when it's green and another when it's yellow... All in all though the monitor was a fantastic buy and I'd do it again.

Other Thoughts: The only thing that kept me from giving an excellent was the stuck pixel. I'm a bit of a perfectionist but gosh darnit! Why did it have to be in the center of the screen.

Rating + 4 1 dead pixel


Pros: Extreamly sharp image, unusually good contrast even at low brightness, very sleek professional look, thin borders: good for dual monitors.
Also, GOOD GLARE PROTECTION. There's a window directly behind my seat, and there is virtually no glare on these monitors.

Cons: 1 dead pixel, upper right of one of the 2 monitors I got; I barely notice it though.

Other Thoughts: These are a great deal, I baught two of them and have had them almost a month now, they're much more space-efficient than other 19-inch LCDs as their border is thinner. Also, their dimmest setting is less bright than most LCDs, which is ideal for me, since I don't like the over-brightness of many displays. The max brightness on these is enough to see clearly in daylight.

Pros: Great monitor for a ridiculously low, low price! Speedy shipping! EZ Installation.Sharp and Bright!

Cons: none (see "grainy text" item below)

Other Thoughts: Fantastic buy and NewEgg gives great, FAST service (again). Replaced my old 19 inch CRT and reclaimed a whole lotta deskspace (and probably lowered my air conditioning costs to boot). I trolled NewEgg for months knowing that they would come through. Pounced like a cat when it showed up on the web site. Very happy. Mild concern about how small text seems a little grainy compared to aforementioned monitor but I still have to update the drivers on my ATI AIW card, so...? DO NOT PASS THIS UP! Miss this sale and you are a total loser!

Pros: While I haven't had this LCD screen very long (less than a week) I can *highly* recommend it! No dead pixels out of box, and I did not notice any ghosting while playing Enemy Territory (FPS game). I didn't even notice any problems with the base as some other customers have mentioned... Shipping was extremely fast... Price could was unbeatable.

Cons: None known at this time.

Other Thoughts: Note that time will tell on dead pixels. They may appear later, but I haven't seen any out of the box. Also, others should try more advanced games to see if they get ghosting. Like I mentinoed, I didn't see any with ET, but it's an older game...
