4 out of 5 stars Excellent Monitor.......2007-06-12

This was my first Acer product, so was a little apprehensive about the purchase. After connecting to my new computer, was very impressed with the quality and ease of connections....and yes....all the cables come with it. For the price, size and quality, this is a very good monitor and recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Best Monitor Around.......2007-06-07

I recently purchased this monitor to replace the monitor that came with my gateway computer. My old monitor had a LOT of distortion, so I figured it was time to replace it.

This monitor is BIG. The color is amazing, and the brightness/contrast settings are phenomenal. You can go from so bright you look like you're George Bush to so dark that....well....it's...really dark. You get the idea.

Pros:
HUGE
Great Color/Clarity
No distortion
Color is distrubuted evenly, meaning there's no corners that are lighter than others.
Range of brightness/contrast settings

Cons:
Mine came with one dead pixel, but that was so easy to fix it's not even funny. Turned it off, put pressure on it (cloth and a blunt sharpie end behind it, turned it back on, and it was gone.
I had a little bit of trouble getting the blue cable attached, but that's just my impatience.

This is a great monitor, I LOVE it. If you're having any second thoughts about buying this monitor, or are even considering it, buy it!

5 out of 5 stars A great bargain.......2007-06-02

I picked up one of these at a big box electronics store at their Memorial Day sale for a great bargain, and could hardly be happier with it. My only problem has been that my video card doesn't seem to support its native 1680x1050 resolution. I'm having to run it at 1440x900 in order to keep the proper wide-screen aspect. But even at that lower resolution it looks great.

No drivers come in the box and when installed it was configured automatically as a standard Windows plug and play monitor. A driver is available at (...) that is listed for Vista, but also works with XP. I installed it, but can't see that it made any difference in picture quality.

The monitor tilts vertically, and requires enough effort to move that it won't droop. There is no height adjustment.

It uses less electricity than the 19" CRT it replaced. My UPS reports 25% more available run-time as a result of the change.

4 out of 5 stars Great for the price, but not perfect........2007-05-28

Overall I am very pleased with this monitor and would definitely recommend it to anyone on a budget. You'd be hard pressed to beat it for the price. However, it is not perfect...

PROS
- Screen is very bright (I had to turn it down), and very clear at native resolution
- Mine has no dead pixels
- "Ghosting" effect while paying fast-paced games is very minimal
- Comes with a DVI cable (many don't)
- GridVista software included is a handy tool that allows you to arrange open windows in a grid on your screen so you don't have to constantly switch between them.

CONS
- I can notice a *slight* change in brightness from the top of the screen to the bottom, even when looking straight at the screen. When I tilt the screen up or down, this difference becomes more apparent. But it isn't so bad as to be distracting as long as you have the monitor facing you perfectly.
- The screen is only 6-bit, which is below the ideal 8-bit. What this means is the monitor can only display a limited number of colors. Most users may not notice the minor dithering this causes, but to those who are into professional photo or video editing, you should probably cough up more cash for a monitor with an 8-bit screen.
- The stand is difficult to adjust and doesn't allow for much customization.
- The connectors are located in an inconvenient spot behind the stand.

For me, the pros far outweigh the cons. If you aren't looking to spend a boatload but want a large, impressive widescreen then this is the monitor you want!
