Acer GD235HZbid Black / Orange 23.6" HDMI Widescreen 1080p NVIDIA LCD 120Hz 3D Monitor 300 cd/m2 ACM 80000:1

Pros: This monitor is pretty awesome. I bought it for 3d, but even without 3d this monitor blows away all normal monitors. You though gaming at 60hz was smooth. HA! Try gaming at 120. It's just so smooth, that there's absolutely lag in the image at all. I was really impressed by this monitors ability to render 120fps. The monitor renders 3d very well too. It's far better image quality than my last surround setup of Acers. Very sturdy stand and gorgeous design. Looks awesome with 3 lined up next to each other. Comes with an excellent assortment of cables. One of the fattest dual link DVI cable I've ever seen, it's fatter than the power cable! An HDMI, 1/8 inch audio cable and VGA.

Cons: The bezel is pretty big. Not the absolute ideal monitor for 3d surround. But you don't tend to notice it as much after you get used to it. I have some backlight leakage on one of my 3 monitors, the other 2 aren't as bad but have a little bit.

Overall Review: I actually could notice the difference in size between my 24 inch Acers and these 23.6 inch. It seemed pretty substancial. Works with my Nvidia 3d vision kit perfectly. I am very happy with this purchase, it blows away my other monitors. Even if you're not using 3d, you should consider buying these. They're far better than 60hz monitors for gaming.

Pros: Relatively bright, decent colors (although I turned down the red and green a bit), and of course it's "120hz."

Cons: 120hz mode is buggy.
Strange sharpening effect as others have reported, although it CAN BE FIXED.
Color scheme is ugly, I rather would've had it be all plain black.
Not LED backlit

It is smooth, but in 120hz mode, once every second, the monitor will jump back a frame and things appear to go backwards. I have perfect eyesight and, while the effect is very subtle and I ignored it at first, I did a bit more testing and easily confirmed it. To test, I ran Counter-Strike Source in fullscreen mode (getting about 300-600fps) with v-sync ON (so only one frame is displayed per refresh), and swung my view from side to side. Looking carefully, the effect was very distinct and I noticed it much more easily during normal use. The monitor also supports 110hz, 100hz, and 60hz modes, so I played with those and found that the same thing happens at 110hz, but not 100hz..so that's what I run it at now. Also, the sharpening effect is pretty annoying, see below for the fix.

Overall Review: To "Not happy" complaining about the sharpening effect,
HERE IS THE SHARPENING EFFECT FIX:
1. turn off monitor
2. hold down the left-most menu button
3. turn on the monitor, holding down the menu button
4. the monitor boots in diagnostic mode
5. navigate up to OD and flip it on then off - this will disable the effect and make the display a bit brighter too

Additionally, I've had the right half of the screen turn solid black at random once. Turning it off and on didn't fix it, but unplugging it and plugging it back in resolved it. It seems like this product has some pretty serious software issues. I highly suggest holding off and waiting for newer generation models which are less buggy.
