Pros: Small footprint...yet remains stable on the desk. Good color, good clarity, excellent quality

Cons: Cat hates it because she cant sleep on it like the old dinosaur it replaces

Other Thoughts: Again, another product I buy continually as a part of any systems I put together for home or office. This is number 10 with no dead pixels, no RMA's. No complaints from customers.

Rating + 5 Uber nice monitor


Pros: Nice and light. I like light equipment. :) took a while because I have never likes wide screen monitors but I found it at a darn good price too! 1280x1024 resolution is nice. Bought one for me and the wife. Really good monitors.

Cons: none

Pros: crisp, clear images. Old screen was no longer in focus, so everything was fuzzy. Easy to setup, no complaints.

Cons: none to speak of.

Other Thoughts: I'm now looking at upgrading the rest of my computer, since my video card and processor have a hard time of keeping up with the computing requirements of the larger resolution when running games.

Rating + 5 10+ and still working great


Pros: We place our most recent order a little over a week ago, all 10 arrived on time and the boxes were in mint condition just like if we had purchaced them at a retail store.

Cons: A minor inconvience is the snap on stand. It takes some forcing to get it to be securely snapped in, however going at it one side at a time never fails.

Other Thoughts: A thoughtful feature on acer's part is the serial and model number can be accessed from inside the interface on the monitor, so no more spinning the thing around and hopeing that the cables have enough slack on them.
-over all this monitor is a solid 5/5-

Rating + 4 Good monitor, no "extras"


Pros: High quality monitor for the price; sharp, bright display. Very easy to setup. The box it's shipped in has a handle for easy carrying.

Cons: You don't get any "extras". If you operate at a non-recommended resolution, the display will be stretched (there's no "cropping" mode) so make sure your video card supports 1280x1024. The enclosed stand is cheap plastic, it can only tilt, and the tilt range is only about 5 degrees.

Other Thoughts: I haven't used the color matching features yet. It seems to be a little harder than other monitors to get the colors "just right" when you do things by hand. The pixels are fairly small, which may be good or bad depending on your preference.

Pros: Very good inexpensive monitor. This is my fourth one of this brand and size. I use them as a second monitor to my widescreens. Great for application multitasking. Or just great as a stand alone monitor for a child's system.

Cons: No cons

Other Thoughts: I'd recommend this monitor to anybody looking for a decent low cost product. I own four now and am looking to buy a fifth.

Rating + 5 GOOD-


Pros: NICE color. anti reflective screen (not shiny). LOTS of settings and options--easy to use. no dead pixels

Cons: none- other than I had to use channel-lock pliers to snap on the base...that fixed it !---Oh and box was beat up and torn tape, but no issues or dead pixels.

Other Thoughts: It was bright when turned on 1st time. I set it to "Gaming" mode, and adjusted the brightness a little from there. I could not get the "User" mode to look as nice as gaming mode, but it doesn't matter---it turns on and looks great now!!!

Pros: Very inexpensive, well packaged, no dead pixels.

Cons: Cheap feeling plastic bezel. Colors take quite a bit of customizing to get to look good. Auto set doesn't hack it.

Other Thoughts: Not a bad monitor for the price. I bought it for an economical gaming computer for my wife. She'll think it looks great and thats all that matters, right? I would recommend for a econ gaming comp or a simple word processor.

Rating + 5 Good monitor


Pros: Nice monitor for the money. No dead pixels and have three of them. Acer has a three-year warranty and you will need it.

Cons: Each of the monitors has had to go in for repair, but Acer fixes them for the first three years.

Other Thoughts: To get warranty service, it is best to register your monitor online with them as soon as you get it. Then when you need repair, within the first three years, you go online and get a repair order and send the monitor to them. they will send your monitor back fixed.

Rating + 4 Pretty nice for the price


Pros: Auto button makes adjusted edges easy as can be. Love this button. Never have to adjust horizon/vertical size/position again!

Cons: Contrast ratio causes black to not be as perfectly black as hoped. Also have what I've been told is "color bleeding", which is a whiter spot in the bottom right corner. Noticeable when that area is dark.

Other Thoughts: For the price, its a very nice 17". I use it for playing COD2 and BF2142 and it works very well with no ghosting. If only thing keeping you from buying it is price seems TOO low, don't worry!

Pros: Price, easy to clean, picture quality, no dead pixels. I ordered 3 these for the vet I work for (made $20 of each monitor!) and they are very happy. The monitors hold up great in a high work, and a very dirty enviornment.

Cons: Would be nice if it was around $20 less.

Rating + 1 Acer = FAIL


Pros: the picture and response is good for 8ms and the low end model.

Cons: The catch, 3 dead pixels out of the box. Of course Newegg wont replace unless there are SEVEN dead pixels. Yes, SEVEN, even if they are dead out of the box, doesnt matter. I didnt pay for a defective monitor but I'm stuck with it now. Also, starting 4 months later the power button is now becoming faulty. It was hardly ever used but it is not always working even with being used only 3 or 4 times a month.

Other Thoughts: This monitor is a cheap piece of junk. Get it if you are in desperate need of something or only use your computer for basic web/wordprocessing etc. It works fine for my mother like this but is still unsatisfactory for coming with 3 dead pixels and a power switch that breaks with a couple dozen uses.

Pros: Better contrast and detail than the Dell LCD it replaced. A nice screen for a nice price.

Cons: Flimsy base isn't very stable. No cord management, they just hang down from the back.

Other Thoughts: Better contrast at the top that at the bottom, so not suitable for photos and graphics, but great for office docs.

Pros: Economical. Better than a CRT

Pros: I bought two of these monitors to replace the CRTs on my parent's computers. I've had them for 3 months now and they do exactly what they're supposed to. They are sleek, space saving, and cheap. The picture is great, too. I watch DVDs and play games on the computers sometimes. If I wanted a monitor with DVI, wide screen, or some other feature, I would have bought one with those features.

Cons: None

Pros: This is a great monitor for the price. The size works perfect with my desk and the multiple output settings makes going from working on graphic files to working on text files very quick and easy.

Cons: None really. At lest not with the monitor itself, it works better then my computers video-output.

Other Thoughts: I might be over excited about this monitor, because any monitor would be better then the huge dinosaur of a monitor that was dominating my desk.

Rating + 4 Good Standard Flat Panel


Pros: Good and bright, an excellent home/office flat panel - Don't use it for gaming just got it for a space saver on a workdesk - also note that this uses a D-SUB connector and not DVI - if you have a higher powered graphics card make sure to check your connector types

Cons: 1 dead pixel on arrival - Dead pixels aren't typically that noticeable, and this one, while near the middle of the screen, can't be noticed unless you scour the screen and then point it out - even then, you forget about it quickly.

Other Thoughts: Nice, quick shipping - I'd recommend this if you are just looking for a cheaper alternative to bulky CRTs - Don't bother with this if you are planning on gaming - 8ms response time will ghost and make animation look terrible no matter how great of a graphics card you have (besides it only has a D-sub connector, so most, if not all, high-end graphics cards are out of the question)

Rating + 4 Good value priced monitor


Pros: Price, free shipping, no tax. Slim, light, uninstrusive base. Very bright, no dead pixels. Easy, instant, basically automatic setup. Very quiet compared to my 19" crt. Used in recording studio so every little bit of noise reduction counts.

Cons: Viewing angle can be a little weird, if you view it straight on the text on the top most menu bar on programs has a white "shimmer" that happens. Tilt the screen down and it goes away. If you look at the screen while standing up, looking down at it, all brightness is even. Not annoying enough to complain all that much though. Don't run it at anything but 1280x1024 or it looks blurred and out of focus, but I think most flatscreen LCDs are this way. It's too bad you lose versatility when you switch over to LCD.

Other Thoughts: It would be nice if the viewing angle thing was more even. I also recognize this is a value-line model monitor, and for the price, it's a very good deal.

Rating + 1 WORSE MONITOR EVER HAD!!


Pros: None.

Cons: I had a previous bad experience with an ACER product. I don’t really trust ACER but I fell again victim of the temptation and Newegg low price. I bought this monitor on 8/17/06 to replace a CRT. A wonderful ViewSonic E70f that was working fine. Just wanted a TFT. About 35 days later all a got on this ACER piece of junk was dark red lines across the screen. I checked my video card, I checked the monitor in another computer and the same thing! I ended up putting back my ViewSonic and problem solved. I went to ACER web site and too much talk about how wonderful their products are but not a word about how I can send the monitor for repair or replace under their warranty. I called them twice to get info and had to wait on hold forever. I hanged up both times. But shame on me! Back in December, I fell again! I bought an ACER - AS5102WLMi laptop as a Christmas present for my wife. It’s still working because she turns it on about once a week. Hope I have better luck with the laptop.

Other Thoughts: Should have bought a VxxxSonic, Sxxxung or HX.

Cons: Not wide screen but it still gets 5 eggs

Other Thoughts: I bought this for my aunt and she loves it. I does have one defective pixel towards the top. Good part is that it only shows up on a black screen and goes away after about 5 seconds. So all is good. This is my second Acer in the last year and so far only one defective pixel.

Rating + 5 Great product, great price!


Pros: Excellent value for the price. Have purchased 10+ of these for our company, and have yet to get a faulty product, let alone even a single dead pixel. Screen is large, clear and bright. Small footprint makes for more efficient use of space; tremendous improvement over CRT's!

Cons: Screen height not adjustable: somewhat low for some users, as a result we had to use risers (which negates space savings of a flat panel monitor) for ergonomics compliance.

Other Thoughts: Great product for our office. Materials (especially base) do not feel very sturdy, but as they are going to be sitting on a desk for the duration of their usage, I am not concerned with damage due to wear/tear. Overall, HIGHLY recommend this product!

Pros: No dead pixels, clear text and good color. I use it in an office environment, so we don't game on it. Easy setup with an auto adjust feature. Viewable from almost all conceivable angles.

Cons: The screen is obviously back-lit from the bottom only and the top of the screen has a noticeable darker look to it. On some screens it is really noticeable, but not disruptive.

Other Thoughts: For the price it is a nice looking monitor that appears to be working well. And it is a name brand people have heard of unlike some. :)

Pros: Well designed Monitor, High Quality LCD panel, uniform color and brightness, well designed supporting circuitry (power supply & picture adjustments). And, of course, good deal for the money.

Cons: No DVI input; these days all monitors should have that.

Other Thoughts: The thumb screws on video cable connector is somewhat difficult to tighten once it is plugged in the video jack on the monitor, because of proximity to the monitor's casing; but I guess that can be said about most monitors with similar arrangement of input connectors. It would be nice if insted of being parallel to the monitor's casing, the video input jack would have been at 45 degree angle, but again, if you only have to do it once its not a major issue.

Pros: Great color and zero dead pixels. The refresh is great with zero ghosting. It's bright and clear! For a buck fitty nine you can't beat it! Like others I had some difficulty with mounting the stand. Upon flipping it over I realized the two front clips of the stand were hitting the base of the monitor. I used a med flat head screwdriver to "gently" guide them inward into the slot and when I pushed on the stand it snapped right into place.

If you are looking to buy a nice LCD, then do not hesitate on this one! I have no complaints! I know others have said it was a little flimsy or hard to get the base on, but I didn't have a problem.
