Great value for business.

Now we have about 110 of them in multiple locations and we've only had two with problems. These are rather basic monitors, but they meet our needs. The main thing we needed was the Vesa mount, and it had to have at least one VGA connector and one DVI connector. To be honest if you don't use them for business you probably won't be too happy, the viewing angles aren't the widest and there isn't enough contrast which is fine for email or using business apps but not great for multimedia.

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

Muted boring colors. Nothing compares to a shiny screen!

I bought this monitor to replace the old HP that came with my desktop. I was told that his performance was off the charts and the reviews were very good. Little did I know that most people don't understand the difference between a matte screen and a glossy screen. Simply put, a matte screen means dull, muted, dull colors no matter what you're doing. Glossy screen means deep, bright, rich and saturated colors. If you buy matte screens to avoid glare, you don't know what you're missing out on. If

Best quality and price offer

I bought two of these monitors and have been using them for over two years without a single problem. In terms of screen size, these are the best budget monitors in my opinion. With them you get quality and more for your money than with other installations. With two of these I get more screen real estate than with a more expensive 27-inch monitor.

Great monitor and easy way to add a speaker

These are great monitors, but they lack some sort of speaker. While I use the DVI input for my main PC, the VGA input on one of them is connected to my torrent computer. It was important to me to be able to test the sound of the files on this PC, so I had to find a way to connect a speaker. My monitors are mounted on a triple LCD bracket so I was able to easily repurpose one of the stands that came with the monitor and attach the Dell Soundbar that was used on the 19" LCDs I was replacing…

Second screen for my Acer laptop

I wanted an inexpensive monitor to use as a second screen for my Acer laptop. As a bonus, it supports a resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz, which gives gaming (along with the integrated Nvidia 940MX) a nice boost. For less than 100€ it does what I expected.

Good monitor for every day.

There was no DVI-to-HDMI cable included in the box (and it says it only comes with a VGA cable). Make sure you get/have the correct cable for your application. Thanks seller.

Missing display in my review.

Works well. Everything matches the description but the display on what I have does not have the same vivid colors as other monitors I have used. I've worked on the controls as best I could, but never made it much better. Good price. But if you're looking for a monitor that's at the top of the range, don't buy this one. Obviously there's a reason for the lower price of this one.

This monitor has no audio input

Thank god I only paid $16 for that junk

One of the worst monitors I've ever had. I assume the seller knew this when they put it up for sale for $16 to sell the item. It can be used as a secondary monitor, but forget it if you want to play games or watch movies on it. Image quality is disgusting.

We have a lot of these at work. They're very reliable, but color reproduction is poor and viewing angles are so terrible that it's difficult to show colleagues what's on your screen. Spend $20 more and get a decent display.

Almost completely useless.

Significant over-resolution (which admittedly could be my computer, but since I don't have any over-resolution on the 5 other monitors I've hooked it up to, I'll most likely blame the monitor) isn't really a problem. compared to the almost complete lack of contrast in the monitor. With the best settings I could get (brightness down, contrast up, several different modes), it's hard to see what's happening on the screen. This problem is compounded by the fact that the monitor is tilted forward…

Amazing quality, the best in my rating

This monitor is a great place to start. It comes with a VGA cable, stand and power cord. This is an HD display with a display time of 5ms, so ideal for gaming. Colors are bright. The screen is matte, as is the bezel, if that helps. I prefer matte because it looks cleaner and more professional. I will be using this as my daily driver and will post an update for more information in a couple of weeks.

Buyers, be careful - carefully read the description of the goods.

Although the product description lists an HDMI port, it does NOT have an HDMI port. Using an adapter will reduce graphics quality and cause the screen to dim constantly. The returns are also messy. The seller charges a 15% restocking fee, and the seller also appears to deduct the shipping cost (to get the item to me) from the refund. So you pay the shipping in both directions.
