Most Favorable Review

Good, cheap dual monitor solution

Pros: Came with _2_ VGA->DVI converters which was fabulous. Easy install, Win XP knew what to do, but it was worth installing the extra drivers that came with it.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I only use it for business applications so I can't comment on gaming capabilities.

Most Critical Review

1 of 2 monitors died

Acer 21.5" 60 Hz TN FHD LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI S0 Series S220HQL ET.WS0HP.A01

Pros: Looked great, worked well--until it died.

Cons: I've purchased several Acer monitors for my business in the past few years and have been happy with them, but this one just went white one afternoon. I've replaced the cables, tried different computers, but it just wouldn't work. Wouldn't even display the logo after turning it on. After contacting Acer customer support (I was 12 days out of RMA from Newegg), they said it was a known issue and could repair it, but only after I paid for shipping and packaging to their Texas repair facility. It is going to cost me more than a quarter of the cost of a new unit to return it.
