Review on Acer V226HQL UM WV6AA B01 21 5 Inch LED Lit 21.5", 1920X1080P, 60Hz, Wide Screen, ‎V226HQL Bbd by Ernest Haynes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's ok for desktop use

I bought this as a placeholder monitor to use with a new gaming rig. It's not designed for that, which is why I gave it 4 stars. It's not Acer's fault that I'm not using it for its intended purpose. It's fine for desktop use, but I wouldn't recommend it for gaming or movies. Viewing angles are terrible and brightness is difficult to control. I screwed up with the windows monitor calibration software and with the settings of the monitor itself. I can't get rid of the washed out white look of the backlight no matter what I do.

Pros
  • The screen is bigger so I can apply apps so they're easier to read for working from home
Cons
  • Wouldn't recommend, didn't even last 6 months and now it won't turn on at all just blank.
