Beautiful colors, not durable

The screen has excellent colors and a good size, but the stand is very weak. The monitor wobbles violently and appears very unstable

Works great with a mid 2012 MacBook Pro! That looks great

Works great with a mid 2012 MacBook Pro! It looks amazing, it's not the best picture but it's the best return I've spent! The stand looks a bit cheap, but serves its purpose. The front buttons are also unlabeled, but the OSD will help you navigate them.

Great for games and prizes!

I really like this computer monitor. I'm new to PC gaming and this looks fantastic. This is the first time I've bought an "expensive" monitor, but I thought it was nice. He started peeing fruit punch but it's okay! Conclusion: amazing for airplanes! :D

Good product for the price

I use it in the home office and look at it for hours. I've used some online color calibration guides (free) and it looks great once calibrated and I don't have eye fatigue after a day of watching.

Nice picture!: my rating

The picture is very clear, the screen is big! Set up was easy and I love that the angle is adjustable (tilt forward or back). I agree with other reviewers that I would like the buttons to be labeled because you can't really tell which are which. Most importantly, the power button is on the right side! It glows orange in standby mode and blue when the monitor is on. I didn't notice any lag or motion blur when playing video games. Overall I am very happy with this monitor!

I bought this thinking it would be a small TV for my RV, not a computer monitor! Check next time! I wouldn't buy it if it said "computer monitor only"!

Great for the price!

Disclaimer: I did not purchase this monitor through Revain but through local Staples stores. I needed the monitor immediately and couldn't wait for delivery. Pros: Compatible with the VESA standard. I don't understand why companies make monitors without wall mounting them. This monitor supports 100mm x 100mm VESA mounting. I'm using a fully functional Video Secure ML12B wall mount (purchased from Revain for $12.99) and it works great. Picture quality. For the price I paid ($89.99 on sale), this

Exactly what I needed.

I was very pleased that there are three options for exiting cables on the back. My computer needed a fun pen and cable + but the monitor is not included. I found an HDMI cable to "borrow" from another computer and now everything is fine!

Yes, the stand is annoying, but folks

I got my money's worth. I bought two, one to replace an outdated 21" Acer monitor, the other for future use in my home office. The matte screen is pleasantly bright in delivery state, there are no display defects as mentioned below. The colors seem a bit muted but I can adjust that I'm sure. Yes, the kickstand is annoying, but come on folks, it's a screw.

Great monitor - my new review

This monitor is excellent! What a great upgrade over my old one. Colors are vibrant and much more accurate than what I had before. No dead pixels and very easy to set up and adjust settings. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want a massive rectangle in front of their face.

I have to say that Acer is one of the worst products I have ever bought.

This monitor had dead pixels after 6 months. I have to say that Acer is one of the worst products I have ever bought. That's my feedback.

Nice monitor but NO SPEAKERS on board

It wasn't difficult to set up video via an HDMI cable, but I was expecting built-in speakers in the 24-inch version. It's not relevant. The 24" doesn't have speakers. This isn't the end of the world - the monitor's built-in speakers are on the weak side, but would be handy during the initial setup. The monitor's video output is excellent. And the special price of $90 was out of this world. I would recommend that in a heartbeat buy again.

At least no HDMI connection

I'm pretty confused. I first bought this monitor from Revain about a year ago. I went to my order and clicked again. Made sure it was the same model number and ordered it. This arrived yesterday (02/01/3019) and has NO HDMI connection! The model number is the same! Very sad to have to return it and buy an unbeatable monitor for my dual monitor desktop.
