Pros: No dead or stuck pixels in the one I received, higher resolution than other similarly sized monitors, good pixel pitch, excellent black levels for an LCD (better blacks than the CRT I switched to this from), attractive glossy case/bezel, 16:9 aspect ratio ideal for hooking up to a console and for watching any media formatted for a 16:9 display, OSD (On Screen Display) menus are well laid out and easy to navigate, sharp picture and vibrant colors, comes with cables for each of the displays inputs (they aren't fancy cables, but just the fact that they included all of them is nice). The monitor has one DVI, VGA, and HDMI input. Because of that it's possible to have three different devices hooked up at the same time, and thanks to input switch button on the monitors control panel you can change between inputs without having to fiddle with wires. HDCP support ensures that you'll be able to playback any HDCP protected content provided you have a video card that also supports it.

Cons: The monitor uses a 6-Bit TN Panel with Hi-FRC, so there are some color banding issues. Color banding is only really noticeable when a light color transitions to a dark color (such as a glowing effect that fades into a black background or into transparency), however transitions from one bright color to the next are pretty much seamless. Videophiles will want to look elsewhere, but the vast majority of users won't notice the banding under average viewing conditions. The 5ms response time is respectable and good enough for most situations, but it does introduce some visible ghosting during fast motion (quickly panning your view in an FPS game, or scrolling across the battlefield in an RTS game -- it can also be seen in movies from time to time but they are largely unaffected), but it's not a huge issue. Touch controls can occasionally be unresponsive.

Overall Review: The built-in 1W speakers are useless to 99% of users, but since it's a optional feature there's no harm in having them there. You can't even see them as they're hidden inside the monitors case so they don't detract from the aesthetics of the display. There is some minor backlight bleeding around the edges of the screen, but it's not bad enough for me to list it as a con. It's barely noticeable even when the screen mostly displaying black. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. This is my first LCD, and while there are some drawbacks to LCD technology compared to CRT's I'd say the pros outweigh the cons. CRT's still have the upper hand when it comes to color reproduction (even compared to 8-Bit LCD panels) and response times, but large CRT's are heavy and energy hungry (my 21" weighed 70lbs and ate 145W of juice -- compare that to this LCD and you see the problem). LCD's have a sharper picture overall and have the obvious size, weight, and energy advantages among other things.

Pros: Looks absolutely gorgeous. Bright, warm colors. It put my AL2216W to shame and it cost me less. HDMI input it's great for consoles and set-top boxes. Touch buttons are slick. Adjustable color settings. Removable base.

Cons: Speakers are lame but you already knew that. Fingerprint magnet like every other glossy electronics

Overall Review: This is hands down the best monitor you can get for $200. It is the monitor of the very near future. Every monitor in the next couple of months should have the features included in this monitor and should be this affordable. Thank you Acer, thank you Newegg for the super fast free shipping and awesome service.

Pros: Stop looking for the perfect monitor because you've found it. I waited to test every available port this thing has to offer before offering my opinion, and even with VGA this thing looks remarkable. My blue ray thru the HDMI port looked as good, if not better, than my 52' inch Sony. I need to clear something up though, one review said Windows XP could not handle its full resolution, some nonsense about drivers. Fact is, my Windows XP MCE runs this monitor fine at its max settings. You just need a decent video card. More pros... no stuck or dead pixels. Easy set up. Fantastic color. Fast shipping from Newegg. Great Price for what you get. Bottom line is, I looked for over 8 months to find a 22' Monitor with all every available connections I could want, with the resolution for true 1080i, and at a decent price, and this my friends, is it.

Cons: I could split hairs here and say sometimes no speakers are better that what comes in most monitors, but if you are trying to buy a monitor with decent speakers, plan on spending an extra hundred dollars.

Overall Review: I bout this as a replacement for a 19" samsung and I have to be honest this Acer beats it hands down. My wife has a Samsung 22" "Touch of Color" series LCD and I would have to say they are to close to call in both picture and clarity. I have no regrets and would definitely by another if needed.

Pros: Picture is crystal clear! No Dead pixels. The 20000:1 Contrast Ratio and 5ms response time makes this a great gaming Monitor. Plus, it comes with a HDMI cable which is a great add on. The touch buttons are easy to use and look very simplistic on the bottom of the screen, therefore, no buttons are sticking out of the monitor making it look cheap. I cannot say enough great things about this monitor!!!!

Cons: None as of yet. People say that the stand is somewhat limited. There is no height adjustment, but you can tilt it up and down. I personally think it works just fine. I have also read some questionable comments about the touch screen function buttons. They are actually located on the bottom of the screen on the black panel and are very user friendly. Again, can't really say anything bad about this monitor. Even if I have paid $300 I'd still like it. For $189.00, why wouldn't you purchase this! Better yet, two of them to run dual monitors!!!!

Overall Review: If you're looking for an awesome performing monitor at an inexpensive price, this would be great monitor to purchase. The clarity is heart stopping if you are generally using a 17" CRT or basic LCD. I personally do a lot of gaming and photography and I was blown away by this monitor.

Pros: Good size, HDMI input, 1920x1080 resolution. Only one dead pixel on mine. Looks crisp, 5ms refresh hasn't blurred on gaming. Tilts. Came with VGA, DVI, HDMI, and power cables. Very inexpensive for what you get.

Cons: Doesn't have height adjustment. No USB ports on it. Menu buttons can be difficult to operate. I haven't hooked up the speakers (not really a con, but you can't expect much out of built-in speakers). Seems like sometimes it doesn't go into standby mode when it should, but I need to examine that further. Even that's not really the end of the world. Big gripe so far is the menu/OSD buttons, but once the I got the thing set up I haven't needed to use them, so again, NBD.

Overall Review: I couldn't fit anything larger than a 22" LCD on my desk, so I had been looking at displays for a while. This was the first reasonably priced screen 22" and under that does a native 1920x1080 resolution and has HDMI input. There are a couple others now, but they're all at least 25% more.

Pros: I was doing a search for a 22 inch in this price range and this caught my eye. Most 22 inch monitors come with 1680x1050. The H213H has 1920x1080 at 60Hz which makes the PPI much higher. I've purchased Acer monitors before and the quality and look is always quite nice the glossy finish make it look like the Samsung HDTVs. This thing comes with all the inputs you could ever want, and acer was nice enough to include all the cables (HDMI, DVI, VGA, and audio) which would probably cost you like 70 to buy separately. 5 ms response is decent for gaming and the 16:9 instead of 16:10 gives you more peripherals in games and is great for wide screen movies colors a bright and vivid. the contrast is 2-4 times better than the other sceens out at the moment. Backlight can gen really bright no need to use audio cable when using hdmi. input touch button makes it easy and quick to change from xbox to computer or whaterver else is connected. Thanks acer and new egg!

Cons: Really cant think of any.

Pros: The display seems bright and I love that it is True HD resolution. It was much cheaper than the local retailers 20-22 inch screens that had a lower resolution. I also love that it includes cables for all of it's interfaces (Power, Audio, HDMI, DVI-D & VGA).

Cons: There is 1 dead pixel, but hopefully it won't bother me that much. My last monitor had a stuck red pixel. This one stays black, however it is in a more prominent area of the screen. (Noticable while reading web pages with a white background.)

Overall Review: I am not using the speakers, so I can't comment on that. I do not mind the glossy finish at all. All that's left is to see how it performs in my games and with my video editing hobby.

Pros: good resolution

Cons: Heat sensitive buttons do not work well. I've have this monitor of about 5 months and the input button requires a good deal of force for it to work. That was just a nuisance but now I have to send the unit back because the display is turning on and off by itself.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this monitor to anyone. Customer service at Acer is not very friendly.
