Beautiful new model the best in my rating

I received the monitor yesterday, easy setup. Has standard VESA mounts. Acer has an INF driver for Windows 7 and 8 on their website. Bezel is 1/2" wide all around. Connected to Cybex AUtoView COMmander with no problems.

Great service, eye protection

Outstanding quality for the price. And extremely fast delivery. The package arrived much earlier than planned. So easy and quick to set up. A 22-inch monitor is a lifesaver as it offers more space and greatly improves work efficiency.

Blurry super bright POOR image quality

Please read before buying! I wish I had read more reviews. If you're buying this maybe just for the text process but for videos or games, go ahead! I am using another old Acer LCD monitor which is many years old and this new monitor is sooooo bad I am mad at myself for wasting my time. Thought it was a deal boy I was wrong Set it up with an HDMI cable (not included) and oh my, the brightness is out of control. Everything black was gray at best, no amount of tweaking could fix that, either in…

Worst monitor I've ever used

The picture on this monitor is just terrible. It's fine at the top of the screen, but very blurry as you move down the screen. 10 minutes later I had a headache. I will return this junk and buy another monitor. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Do not buy - my new review

The quality of the monitor is terrible. The color is so bright and I couldn't change the settings to the point where my eyes hurt no matter how much I lowered the brightness (and messed around with other settings). Black is more like gray and it's just awful. I ended up buying a Dell monitor for about the same price and I liked it a lot better!

Just fine - good price and will work as a second monitor

In general I wasn't impressed with the quality of the colour/image. For the price it will work in my home office if I need a second monitor for spreadsheets etc. I think if I spent a little more I could find a better monitor for a little more money.

Broke after 2 months

I only bought it for homework, not for gaming or intense activities. This piece of junk doesn't even last 2 months of regular use. Bought August 28th, broke November 3rd. I can no longer display an image from any laptop. The internal electronics can fail. Careful. The graphics quality is also pretty bad.

I recommend the seller and the product!

It will do exactly what you buy it for. This is a budget monitor, but it's pretty impressive. I recommend this to anyone looking for access to games and 1080 quality! Ps does not have built-in speakers!

I guess you get what you pay for?

The top of the screen is very sharp and clear, and then by the time you get to the bottom, the colors seem to have faded. I thought it was the cable but no, I think it's the display. Works mostly, just a little annoying. Avoid if you want a clear picture in everything!

Pursue a good product but the price was too high

Bought for a friend when we were sent home with only 1 screen when we were used to 2. She loves to set it up easily. Was a bit upset, same monitor was $25 cheaper 2 weeks ago but with many of us working from home demand is higher. This is my only complaint.

Short product lifetime.

The monitor stopped working exactly one month after the warranty expired, I have other office monitors that usually last 5-10 years but not with this ACER product, it's a two year product.

Pretty good for the price

Not very impressed. The picture quality is poor and I only use it as a monitor for my security system, replaced the screen that failed after 5+ years, the quality isn't as good as I hoped, but it's reasonable for the price

I really like this product except that there is no way to adjust the screen brightness and the settings are a bit fiddly, but other than that it's a great product.

A month later the monitor started to fail.

Less than a month after I bought the monitor, a one-pixel pink bar appeared on the left side of the screen, running from top to bottom. I called Acer customer support. The guy was nice enough, polite enough, but I had to pack up the monitor and send it to one of their repair shops. At my expense. He said they needed to confirm I didn't damage the monitor in any way and then repair/replace it. Now I'm sitting at my desk without a monitor. Or I'll live with a pink streak until a new monitor comes

Monitor flickers on and off

I called ACER directly with the problem, they made me reset the BIOS. I did it with no change, I felt like they just pushed me away hoping that I would give up and accept it for what it is, I'm not sure what I have to do to make it go substitute. can someone contact me asap

Very good monitor for the price. Great picture quality, at least for my daily gaming and Netflixing. I only give 4 stars because the brightness is not adjustable.

excellent monitor the best in my rating

It doesn't overheat like other monitors and the 1080p display looks great. Well, we use the monitor as a surveillance screen.

All in all great monitors for the price.

I bought two of these to go to my home office. Overall, these are great monitors for the price, but I was a little underwhelmed by the picture quality. If you're looking for reliable office monitors and don't care too much about the picture itself, these monitors are the perfect little workhorses.
