Good but not great in my opinion

All in all this is a very good LED backlit LCD - no questions asked but I've just compared it to my HP 22 cwa and I've noticed the differences. What's good:* The display is crisp with good color contrast and quick response - good for gaming or HD video playback. What's not good (compared to the HP 22cwa) * The build quality of the HP monitor is amazing - better than Acer's - I know from the weight, the quality and finish of the plastic components and just the feel. (Example: As I type, the Acer

Good budget monitor.

This is a good monitor that I wouldn't recommend if you want to make it your gaming monitor. Highly recommended as a second monitor for you, especially for the price.

Great monitor, perfect colors

Excellent monitor, the color is perfect, a little strange when you turn it on, takes some getting used to. Very suitable for documents in portrait format

Successful at a low price

A few years ago the company I worked for used used monitors from Acer, Dell and Samsung. Executives snapped up Dell, senior executives took over Samsung, and everyone else stuck with Acers. It wasn't that the Acers were bad, but the parallel Acer monitors of the time offered fuzzy images with low contrast, poor colors, and dull, uneven brightness. I'm happy to report that Acer has come a long way since then. If you haven't looked at Acer in a long time, you'll be pleasantly surprised by what…

Amazing display for the price

A really good display for the price. Likes: - Great color. I adjusted the gamma using a MacBook Pro and found that it gave excellent contrast and color reproduction without further adjustment. This panel looks good even when viewed from the side or from above, 35 degrees is easy. - Very responsive. Response time 4ms. I don't feel any lag even when connected to a high FPS gaming machine. - Bright. Bright enough for my use in a well-lit area, even dimmed. Price. 1080p with great colors and…

Fits great in my Radio Shack

I use this monitor on my amateur radio computer. It is uncluttered and big enough for my needs. I mounted it on a swing arm, which gives me the flexibility to adjust and place the monitor at the optimal eye level. Good clear screen is bright.

  • Bad power management features.

The picture quality is not bad, but I strongly do not recommend this monitor for gaming. The amount of ghosting is so insane that if you are a hardcore gamer you will notice it and it will hurt your eyes. I had to settle for a 2ms monitor, so that's not a problem now. A normal monitor for normal everyday use. But I don't recommend it for gaming.

I thought I made a bad purchase but this monitor is great

I bought it on Cyber Monday and thought I made a bad purchase, but this monitor is great. It doesn't have many features but the color is great! It's just that the stand is a little flimsy, but okay, am I paying for a good monitor or a good stand?

missing parts: my review

Can't fully rate it yet as it comes with the screw needed to fully attach it to the stand. Without this screw it will not stay in the base and will not stand on its own. I know it's a cheap monitor but it should come with all the parts.

  • Very expensive

I bought two of these and they just don't fit my 2 year old ASUS IPS which doesn't have the weird lines in the same setup. Colors on two identical monitors will not match even if the settings are set the same. I suggest spending more for a better monitor.

Don't expect any help from Acer.

The monitor doesn't have drivers for Windows 10, which doesn't make sense to me, e.g. B. why a monitor needs drivers. Eventually managed to get it working over DVI, no thanks to a very outsourced form of tech support to Caesar who said it couldn't work. 1/10 customer service. Still doesn't work over HDMI so I bought this to replace my old monitor. I basically wasted the $30 difference on the $50 I sold the old one for.

Quality monitor for the price.

Good monitor for the price! Bought on sale for €89.00. The number of ports is limited (1 HDMI, 1 VGA, 1 DVI) and since HDMI is the only way to use it properly, it would be nice to have at least two so you can connect your Apple TV. Overall I like the display so far and the construction feels solid.

But this is the best monitor I've ever had

I got it during the Cyber Monday sale so this review is a bit late but it's the best monitor I've had. My other screens, like my laptops, are bugging me now that I have this.

Great monitor for the price

Great screens and easy setup. My only real problem with monitors these days is why they still plug in VGA cables. They are usually obsolete and end up in a bin or landfill.

Ideal for children's games and YouTube.

This monitor is affordable and easy to install. Colors are bright. My 10 year old plays a lot of online games and is very happy with the larger screen and brighter colors. The size is perfect, especially when using film editing software. 1 HDMI, 1 DVI (with HDCP) and 1 VGA but no audio in case you're looking for a standalone TV with speakers. I would like a different HCMI port.

Great deal Great monitor

Great monitor! Worked immediately! Some reviews have mentioned that the angle of this monitor makes it difficult to set up a triple screen. Luckily this monitor works great with my other 2 Acer monitors.
