Working Great

MSI Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5

Pros: Running like a charm. Very quiet I can hardly tell that it's on. I've upgraded from an older rig so I'm probably impartial. I'm just glad everything is running with the detail cranked up as high as it will go.

Cons: I haven't run into any issues

Overall Review: Great card I'm extremely happy I purchased it.

Nice Picture but None in BIOS

Pros: Nice crisp picture with no dead pixels also it did not have the annoying hum that my last LCD had.

Cons: Right away I didn't think it worked because when hooked up through the DVI it does not show the BIOS screen. I'm running an XP based comp and the picture does not come up until I get to the Windows logon screen. I searched and lots of people online have this same problem with no word from ACER. To me it appears that the monitor will not display 640x480 in the BIOS through DVI. I was able to force 640x480 through my video card but the card isn't initialized until windows starts up. BIOS does however appear correctly when I hook up the analog cable instead of DVI.

Overall Review: Ultimately I figured that I rarely use my BIOS and that I'll just keep an analog cable handy if I ever need to. If you're a person who uses DVI hookups and you need the BIOS frequently I would caution you away from this monitor.
