Pros: DVI, VGA, very thin, very light weight, ZERO dead /stuck pixels

Cons: Buttons are not labeled. When you push a button, it shows a diagram on the screen labeling each button (does make it easier to use in the dark though...). Requires a flat head screwdriver (not a big deal, but could be for some people especially if they don't have one)

Overall Review: Ordered two of these, these screens are very bright out of the box, the default is set to 100%, I had to drop it to 40% before I could stand to look at it. Also, please note these monitors use an external AC adapter (like a laptop) instead of a conventional power cord.

Pros: N/A

Cons: VGA adapter parallel style cable is TOO short for many Low Profile PCs.

Overall Review: The parallel style cable that connects the VGA adapter to the board is short. The low profile bracket MUST be on the same side as the header pins (and heat sink). So check the orientation of expansion slots in your PC. If the VGA low profile bracket isn't going to go on the same side of the board as the heat sink, this card isn't going to work for you. I've looked around and the only longer cable I can find is for XFX cards.

Pros: I love the programmable gestures! I listen to a lot of music while I'm working. So, I configured my gestures as: Move Right = Next track, Move Left = Previous track, Move Forward = Volume up, Move Back = Volume down, Gesture Button Click = Pause/Play

Cons: Only complaint is that the Logitech software doesn't load immediately when the computer.

Pros: Have purchased several of these for work and had them for a year or more. No issues whatsoever out of any of them.

Cons: None

Pros: Works, no dead pixels, reasonable price, what more can you ask for? I've bought 5 of this exact model and well over 50 of the V196 series altogether (probably approaching the 100 mark) to replace old CRT monitors where I work. I've yet to encounter any of the Acer V196 series that arrived DOA, or came with a single dead pixel. These are great monitors.

Cons: No rotation or height adjustment

Pros: Worked flawless out of the box, ZERO dead/stuck pixels

Cons: None

Overall Review: If it's too bright OOB, then turn the brightness down... Have this and a V193LAJOb setup in a dual monitor configuration. Was able to configure color/brightness/contrast to look similar enough on both screens that the average person wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Have purchased around 40 Acer monitors over the past 5 years for work and have yet to have a single dead or stuck pixel on any of them. Keep up the good work, Acer.
