Customer Rating: Summary: HURTS MY EYES Comment:
I regret buying an ACEr monitor as it bothers my eyes. I don't know if it is the size of the monitor or the brand but unfortunately, i can't take it back as we've owned it too long so we'll put it on a computer we seldom use.
I have a Samsung and Princeton monitor which do not bother my eyes. Next time we'll stick with those brands. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Device at great price Comment: I bought this for my girlfriend maybe six months ago and she is in love with it. You get a great value for the price and the device is solid performance wise. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent value Comment: I have been using this monitor for about two months now, and I'm impressed. I have fairly high standards when it comes to displays, so I was hesitant to purchase a monitor that may cut corners to trim the price by a few dollars. After all, many of us spend hours each day staring at a monitor, so it better be decent; and, for its cost, this display is excellent: colors are crisp, contrast is great, standard resolution is nice (1680 x 1050), and we're given both both digital and analog inputs. I've experienced no blurring and no defects of any kind.
The monitor also provides you with complete control over color temperature, contrast, and brightness, and a handy little auto-adjust/quick-switch feature that lets you swap settings on the fly (if, for example, you go from reading a book online to playing a video game). There are no fancy controls here, but I haven't needed any.
I only have three complaints, and none of these are deal-breakers:
(1) The monitor is very slow to wake up. In both Windows and Ubuntu, when you move the mouse or press a key to wake it up, you'll have to wait about 5 seconds before it turns itself on. That may not sound like a long time, but if you're used to your monitor waking up immediately, it can be really annoying. I wouldn't even mention this, except that this is the first monitor I have ever owned that does this. It's strange.
(2) The backlight bleeds through around the edges when the screen is black. This is mostly an aesthetic flaw, and I don't believe it affects the quality of the picture, but seeing a strange halo around your screen definitely makes it look cheap. But you won't notice this when the display is lit up, so don't worry about it unless you're a perfectionist.
(3) The housing is cheap and unstable. Of course, this is a value monitor so we can't expect Apple's aluminum housing here, but this monitor wiggles like Galloping Gertie if you bump it. And it doesn't give you much flexibility when positioning it. While adjusting it, I worry that I'll break it.
Overall, this is a great monitor, and you're hard-pressed to find more bang for your buck in the 22" widescreen category. This is a great find! Customer Rating: Summary: Great value with some limitations Comment: I purchased this as replacement for my 20" boat anchor CRT at work. The color is great. No dead pixels. The price was very reasonable compared to other, similar models. If it was more adjustable I would give it 5 stars. You can only tilt it vertically.
The only problem I had, and I totally own this since I should have checked, is that my Asus motherboard does not support the best aspect ratio for this monitor. It is a two year old board and is not very high end. I plan to pick up an inexpensive graphics card to solve the problem and keep the monitor. Customer Rating: Summary: Kush Comment: This monitor was purchased as an upgrade for my 17" CRT and I'm totally happy with my decision. For the price it has good features and I was able to fix it to my fairly old system with minimum hassle.
However I was not able to get the optimum resolution of 1680x1050 on DVI with my Matrox G550 VGA with 32 MB but it works fine on VGA at the same resolution.
It came without any dead pixels has excellent colour balance, I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in a 22" at a budget price.
