Acer S201HLbd Black 20" 5ms LED-Backlight LCD monitor 250 cd/m2 ACM 12,000,000:1 (1000:1)

Pros: Got it on sale for $99. Small bezel, slim design, light, low heat and power usage, fast and responsive, and content on-screen looks great. Was a huge upgrade from what I was using before (older HP LCD)

Cons: Acer's eDisplay program couldn't recognize my screen or something. No big deal though since I can control what I want on the monitor's OCD.

Overall Review: This monitor can tilt. I tilted it by first disconnecting the monitor from the base, and on the end of the connection on the stand and base, there is a hinge. That is how you can tilt the monitor. I wouldn't trust trying to tilt the monitor itself though, and would instead recommend manually adjusting the hinge and setting the screen on to see.

Pros: Low price, good image quality when it works.

Cons: 31 days (naturally) after purchase the screen began to jitter after a session of prolonged use. It was just a mild flickering at first, but after a few minutes it worsened to the point where the screen was unreadable Turning it off for a while solved the jitter for a while, but then it returned. I contacted Newegg immediately, but the monitor was past the return period. Meanwhile, the problems started happening sooner and sooner after turn on until I couldn't use the monitor at all.

I contacted Acer customer service, who had me ship the monitor to them at my own expense. About a week later they returned it to me with a note saying that after there were no problems seen after a 24 hour burn in. The monitor worked fine for 3 weeks, but is now showing the same problem again.

Overall Review: I chose this monitor based primarily on the price and the high ratings it had. If it weren't for the jitter I would probably be one of those positive reviews. There seems no point in wasting money by sending it to customer service again, since the problem is so intermittent that they didn't see it last time. I can only guess it was because the monitor had been off for several days when they got it. I plan to see if leaving the monitor off for a few days "fixes" the problem for a few weeks again, but that is not a viable permanent solution. Sooner or later I am going to have to trash it and buy a different monitor.
