What's great about it: Light weight, uber thin and amazing quality of picture
What's not so great: cannot mount it.
My father (general contractor, not tech savvy) decided to drop a shelf on out last screen, for the time, money and effort searching for a quality flat panel monitor, i'm glad my dad dropped the shelf. Its highly worth the money to buy this screen. no hiccups during check out.

What's great about it: Great image and brilliant colors
I ordered this screen online and had it within 4 days. All I had to do was attach the stand, plug it in, and it worked. This is a no glare screen which makes it easy to view from any angle even with lots of sunlight in the room. I have paid much more money for computer screens before and found this Acer to be just as good if not better.

What's great about it: Great picture value
What's not so great: Can't mount, have to use base
I needed to get a monitor to add to my docking station in my office. I needed something reasonably sized at a good value. This monitor meets both of those expectations.
Pros
-Great picture quality
-Tilt forward and back feature (many monitors don't have this)
-Thin
-Light
-Great value
Cons
-No mounting holes on back, so you can only use on stand. With more people going with multiple monitor configurations, this is a BIG miss
-External power supply. I understand that to get the size right on this they need to move the power supply externally. I would suggest either 1) Make unit SLIGHTlY thicker and leave power supply internal and able to use a conventional 3 prong plug, OR 2) Have power supply plug into a conventional 3 prong cord instead of a funky shaped plug from wall to power brick
-Instruction manual is useless (I had to get online to figure out how to remove the base once I had snapped it in. A little extra force finally released it couple with sticking a screwdriver in the hole in the back). Also, I actually spent over a minute trying to find the power button, which is directly below the Acer emblem on the front.
This product has... Attractive design, Easy to setup, poorly design external power supply, no ability to mount to monitor stand

I bought one about a year ago to try it out and normally I don't buy the cheapest stuff. I was like $100 bucks that's a steal! Now I own about 5 and I haven't had a problem with any of them, and they are still working just go as new!

A very good value @ the regular price, an outstanding value when on sale. Off axis brightness and contrast could be better, but only an issue if used for group viewing.

What's great about it: NOTHING
What's not so great: EVERYTHING
It is basically a poorly made toy..nothing works..
1. screen doesn't fit the mount bracket. the monitor wobbles on the base.
the hardware quality is like in the stone age.
2. no power. I connected everything. However, the monitor is like dead..
Nothing light up.
I saw another user had exactly the same problem as I met.
(He/she gave this product 'Poor' review. You can find the post)
So, I think there might be something wrong with Acer's quality control.
How can they sell this kind of product ?
I will definitely return it tomorrow and go for a more reliable brand.

What's great about it: Amazing images, great price.
Finally upgraded to a much needed larger widescreen monitor. Selected this one for the price and quality of picture. Was not disappointed. I view a lot of photography on the screen and the images are so crisp and vivid. The only complaint I had was that the power on button was not easy to find and there were no instuctions on where it was located. Found it by accident when moving the monitor onto the desk and a blue light came on.

What's great about it: price, image quality, colors
What's not so great: no hdmi
I'm really surprised with this screen, usually I'm not a fan of acer, and I never thought I would be buy any of their products, but this screen is really great. First, at $99.99 this is the cheapest screen available on market. And with this great price, comes a great picture quality and very crisp colors. I connected it to my laptop (extended display), and I opened the same picture on both, the colors and amount of details is terrific on this screen. And this can be clear from the default windows wallpaper.
The only problem with this screen is that it has no HDMI extension, but with VGA it is still doing great. I watched a netflix in HD, youtube HD, and some HD videos on my computer, image quality is still brilliant.
As for the design, it is very thin and very lite, I think it is around 3-4 pounds. I would definitely recommend this monitor.

What's great about it: Picture clarity and sleekness are GREAT, easy to setup
What's not so great: Height isn't adjustable, only comes with VGA cable, no sound
I bought 2 of these to achieve a dual screen setup to work remotely from home every now and then. I use dual monitors at work so I definitely needed the same setup at home. The sale price ($99) was awesome since I needed 2 screens. That's almost the same price as buying just one screen out there depending on where you look. They are extremely easy to setup. I didn't even have to use the disc that came with them. The picture clarity is great! I use AutoCAD to draft up drawings on a daily basis so clarity is BIG in my book. I only have 2 COMPLAINTS about the monitors. They DO NOT adjust VERTICALLY. You are stuck with the way they are once you attach the base to the monitor. I bought a computer desk that has a shelf so I put my monitors up there since I don't like looking down all day. They come with the 1-VGA and 1-DVI cable per monitor so if you are looking at running a dual setup and your PC doesn’t have an option for both (like my PC) cable, you will need to spend extra money to buy an adapter or cable that has the USB or HDMI option. Other than that they are sleek and do have the option to tilt them up and down. Great buy though for the price!
