Acer 21.5" LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI G215HAbd

Pros: Great value/free shipping at the time of purchase. Didn't even have to adjust settings. Everything seems right after startup and no dead pixels after running some graphic/monitor test utils.

Cons: None at this point. Part of the frame and stand have glossy finishes which creates occasional glares. No big deal, just glad Acer still have models that come in flat black.

Overall Review: This is my second Acer purchase. Bought 2 X233Hbid Black last fall for family to replace older Dell LCDs. The higher resolutions along with other features are a great improvement.
All have been running smoothly, cooler ( compared to older LCDs ), no dead pixels or other issues.
The monitor gui settings took awhile to learn, but not a problem.
Very impressed with these Acer monitor brands & NewEgg's bargain prices/free shipping.
Would recommend these for school upgrades or those who are on a budget.

Pros: One of the highest DPI available currently. No stuck or dead pixels. Very bright. Has the option to maintain aspect ratio or stretch option for non-16:9 inputs.

Cons: Still only 103 DPI. OSD menu is clunky. Static contrast ratio is somewhere between 1:500 and 1:1000. Black is VERY NOT black.

Overall Review: Non-square bottom makes it awkward to mount one above another. Provided stand bulky. Dithering (2x4 moving pixel pattern) visible for mid tones. VESA mounting points flush with back surface. Provided stand attachment point completely removable. Clock recovery for VGA input takes a while to warm up. Dynamic contrast ships by default disabled. OSD comes with taunting reminder that you *could* have bought a monitor with built-in speakers, but not this one. Backlight is fluorescent.
