Advantages: value for money, quality and everything else

Disadvantages: none for this price range

As we all know: as bigger monitor is asbetter. This here has 22" and is quite big like for Pc monitor. Am sure thet we will see much bigger and better in the nearest feature because of all the time speeding up technology.

Bought this monitor myself one year ago and am seriously satisfied. It does look excellent, all buttons you can find under front panel. It is easy to use, works straight after connection.
There is only one small issue. Proper drivers can improve device's performance. They are available on internet only or come together with graphic card drivers' package.

About

Monitor itself is very stable thanks this specially designed base. Screen is movable (for about 15 degrees up or down). It is possibly to mount it on a wall. Acer has an analogue (VGA) signal input.
Acer compliant following standards:- ISO 13406-2, TCO '99

Display

Resolution as we know is an important issue in monitors, because as higher it is as more specific picture can be, more thinks can be displayed at the same time and so on. This one offers maximum of 1680 x 1050 pixels which is good enough for standard use +. Brightness is 300 cd/m2 and it is a weak point but not crucial. We need to remember about its price. I bought mine in Argos for £200 now it's almost half. Technology goes in such a speed that many products loose price but not quality, thus we should not look at this factor. Image contrast ratio is 1000:1 which is acceptable and gives high quality.

It is possible to find this monitor even cheaper on internet. Need to say that once again as price next to it on DooYoo is higher that when i bought it.

I like this monitor and enjoy every single high quality picture I watch, TV or DVD. Acer offers good quality for reasonable price. It is good but obviously not the best one like other top shelf more expensive monitors.

I can recommend it for its price and quality it offers, simplicity, design and size.

Please rate my review and leave comment possibly.
Thank you.
