Acer AL2216Wbd 22" LCD Monitor

No better monitor for the price.

Strengths: Very, very slim even for an LCD. Fast refresh rates. This baby screams with no lag issues and the DVI works flawlessly. Very bright. Had to tone it doen but it definately has radiant capabilities

Weakness: The stand. Can't adjust it. Leans downward too much for tall folk.

I paid 225 from ClubIT but knew Acer was a competent manufacturer so the cheap price didn't set me off. I have not been disappointed. It has freed up lots of space on my desk I need and my only worry was it would make my 3d game playing troublesome. I was wrong. Although it does lack the resolution of my old CRT, it is soo much brighter and bigger. This hard core gamer has not experienced any...

I paid 225 from ClubIT but knew Acer was a competent manufacturer so the cheap price didn't set me off. I have not been disappointed. It has freed up lots of space on my desk I need and my only worry was it would make my 3d game playing troublesome. I was wrong. Although it does lack the resolution of my old CRT, it is soo much brighter and bigger. This hard core gamer has not experienced any screen jitters or pixelation. No dead pixels out of the box either. Fired right up, windows XP configured her flawlessly, All I had to do was plugh the ACER in!

Good overall product

Strengths: Price, design

Weakness: lack of digital - analog switch button, one touch presetting button

Everything is good except that the buttons mentioned above are not present. I have to go through the menus to switch between my laptop and desktop when both are connected. First one I got had three dead pixels, so I got it replaced, this one doesn't have any dead pixels.

Good monitor, inexpensive for performance

Strengths: Large monitor, clear

Weakness: Flimsy stand

For about $300, a 22" 16X10 DVI monitor was too good to pass up. So far, looks good, text is crisp, now I have enough landscape for two side by side text pages. Could use a bit more contrast, but for the price, couldn't beat it.

Great Monitor at a Good Price

Strengths: Good brightness, large area, low price relative to other monitors of the same size, excellent response time

Weakness: Some flicker on certain patterns

This monitor beats my 19 inch LCD in terms of brightness and clarity! It's an excellent choice if you are on a budget, but need the screen space for your computing. The only drawback I have seen is a slight flicker of the screen redrawing with a very tight dot patter: the area between keyframe in Flash's timeline. It can be distracting.

Acer 22 inch Widescreen monitor

Strengths: Price Brightness Response in games Size/Form Factor

Weakness: Back light Bleed Some stuck pixels (really hard to notice) not a big problem Vertical viewing angle

This is a very decent monitor for the price one of the best of the 22 inch budget panels. The black light bleed on dark screens is probably the worst part of the monitor. It is mostly on the very top edge of the screen. The stuck pixel(s) is not a big problem and the vertical viewing angle is also not that bothersome. It does a very decent job at down sizing resolutions in games and is best with...

This is a very decent monitor for the price one of the best of the 22 inch budget panels. The black light bleed on dark screens is probably the worst part of the monitor. It is mostly on the very top edge of the screen. The stuck pixel(s) is not a big problem and the vertical viewing angle is also not that bothersome. It does a very decent job at down sizing resolutions in games and is best with fixed aspect ratio in non wide screen games. It also has a very sleek simple form factor. This was bought for around two hundred and eighty dollars. I would say it is a good deal if it can be had for under 3 hundred after all expenses.
