For those not needing very specific functions like true 8bit per channel colour or 2ms response times, this is an excellent quality monitor.

I wanted something to plug into my laptop to allow me full HD (1920x1080) for movies, games and video editing.

I was surprised at the quality of this budget screen and expected a flat, lifeless image like that of my laptop screen.

It's not as glossy, sharp or colour-precise as some monitors out there, but I never expected to own a 1080HD screen at such a low price.

I would recommend this screen for those looking for some extra real-estate on their desktop, or looking to watch full HD movies in comfort.

The only downside for me is that the display only accepts analogue signals via a VGA cable, so no HDMI, DVI or component inputs here.

If you are looking for a good TFT screen and waiting for the prices to drop - take a look again. Acer have a great monitor here for the average user.
