Pros: +The standard colors are correct! You don't have to mess around with the color settings unless you like a very 'cool' or 'warm' picture. +LED power light is small and subtle. Hardly noticable when watching a movie in a dim room. +Does not wobble unless you deliberately shake your desk in an attempt to see if it wobbles. Otherwise, elbow bumps and typing won't rock it. +Screen powers off when comp goes to standby, auto-on when comp resumes. +Sturdy design makes me feel confident about the monitor lasting a long time. +Quickly switch between VGA and DVI with one button +Screws for VGA & DVI cables actually fit lol. So many lower-end monitors aren't aligned properly with the screws.

Cons: -Wish there was an HDMI socket. Would have made it complete -Not the slimmest LED monitor out there, but the picture matters the most -Design is not the prettiest.

Overall Review: ~The design is very traditional, which I like. It's not cutting-edge modern glossy design like the rest. It's very reminiscent of the dawn of flat screen displays.

Pros: +Minimal design +Glossy finish +Energy-efficient, slim just like other LED monitors +Can make picture B&W or sepia from menu

Cons: -1920x1080 on a 21.5" screen was too hard to look at for me. My eyes were straining at condensed words. Went up to a 23" and it's now all good. Note that I sit about 2 feet away from the screen and have ~20/60 vision. -The standard color settings' blue color was off the charts. Even on 'Warm' the blue was very apparent. Tried to fix it, but it ended up looking worse. -When I turned the brightness down, the monitor produced an annoying high-pitched noise. Not sure if it's representative of all Acer 21.5 LEDs, but mines had this. -The blue/amber power LED light is very obnoxiously bright, which is not good for watching movies in a dim room. -The mount-stand is wobblier than a game of jenga. The monitor is light, but it's just too much for the stand. It starts leaning to the left as soon as you start pressing buttons on the right side, so you have to constantly correct the orientation.

Overall Review: I would get this monitor if I didn't have any other options. Fortunately, I did. There's plenty of other monitors to choose from. Go the extra yard for a 23" LED.

Pros: Asus fit the GTX 460 gpu with its own custom copper heatsink and fan, and it cools it nicely without making horribly loud noises. It also seems shorter in length than other 460s out there. I never would have gotten a 460 due to its size until I noticed this. Fits very well in a mid-tower. Very cool black PCB with matching, minimalistic plastic cover. Not one of those obnoxious, sticker-labeled fat video cards. Says it's already overclocked, but you can deff go higher.

Cons: Thought about it for a few minutes, and I can't find a con.

Pros: Running an AM3 Athlon II quad-core, and it idles at 23 deg C. Pretty quiet without compromising cooling performance. Variable controller helps, as well.

Cons: I wish I were more careful with the copper blades. They always cut me when I handle it lol.

Overall Review: For about 2 months, I went without cleaning the fan, and the performance diminished pretty quickly (34 deg C idle). Of course, this is the same as any other CPU, but just wanted to share that.

Pros: +Minimal design +Glossy finish +Very light, slim, and energy efficient (as expected from all LED monitors) +Turns off when comp is on standby, auto-on when comp resumes +Can make display sepia or B&W from the menu

Cons: -The mount-stand is wobbly, especially when you press the buttons on the side -LED blue/amber light is obnoxiously super bright, esp when lights in room are dim (movie watching) -The standard color settings make the picture kinda blue, even when on 'Warm' color. When you try to add more red, it makes it look worse. You have to be very patient with mixing the colors to get it right (after 15 minutes, I lost mine lol) -Couldn't find a "sweet spot" for brightness

Overall Review: I couldn't stand the negative aspects of this monitor. Looked for another one instead. Otherwise pretty good.
