"Very poor image quality" on by joelsplace
Pros: Comes with DVI cable
Cons: Image quality is unusable for me.
Summary: I bought one of these and really wasn't expecting a lot due to the price ($199 at Office Depot). I was still disappointed. I set the resolution, the refresh rate and played with all the onscreen adjustments (yes even the clock). Small text is unreadable and gray shades are all blurred together. The forward and back buttons in IE7 look horrible. My second monitor which is a very old washed out 17" M70 CRT ($99 cheapo) looked much better sitting next to it. It is much worse than my failing 19" MAG CRT ($129 new). I shouldn't have been surprised since it's image is on par with some of the 17" ACER LCDs I've used before. I'm returning it tomorrow. I was using the analog connector. It didn't appear to have any stuck pixels.

"You get what you pay for..." on by Domenico Manno
Pros: Low Price, HDCP compliant
Cons: Too Fragile, Flimsy Stand, Stuck Pixels
Summary: I purchased this monitor for just over $250. I returned it after it sprouted two dead/stuck pixels in under a week of use. I bought the Samsung 22 inch LCD (226BW) for a hundred dollars more and couldn't be happier. No dead pixels and much better quality casing/stand/picture. I will say that Acer has great customer service, but who wants to send their monitor out for repair all the time?...Not me
