Acer P235Hbmid Black 23" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1(ACM) Built-in Speakers

Pros: Amazing colors and deep black levels! Brings PC gaming and even your desktop to life. Crisp and easy to read text at 1080P resolution. Sleek design and thin framing. Comes with VGA, DVI, and HDMI cables.

Cons: Stand snaps into bottom of the monitor fairly easily, however, it is not the best foundation to keep monitor sturdy. Seems flimsy. No cons in my opinion with picture quality.

Overall Review: I was always skeptical about upgrading to an LCD display after running a Samsung Syncmaster 19 955DF model for the longest. For gaming, CRTs always provided accurate colors and a bettter response time than LCDs. It took me a while to have a change of heart until I bought this monitor. The price and performance of this monitor is unbeatable. If you are like me and still have a CRT monitor because you feel LCD is inferior, you won't be disappointed with this product. I've kept fairly up to date with PC power, but always held off on a good monitor, until now. Currently running Intel i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz, 2 ATI 4870 1GB Crossfire, OCZ Reaper 6GB DDR3 Triple Channel, WD Raptor 150GB, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Pros: Its huge, the color quality is great. Crystal clear.

Cons: 2 dead pixels appeared within 3 days of plugging it in. Tried to "unstick" them using some of those color flashing utilities for over 48 hours to no avail.

Overall Review: I hate having on bright green dead pixel and one black dead pixel. It means that no matter whether what i'm looking at is light or dark there's something wrong with it.
