Acer? Who knew?..Better then expected.

I'll start by saying I returned it. Why?!? Not the greatest for gaming. Which was it's sole purpose in my case. Casual gamers will be pleased, but hardcore competitive online gamers look else where.
Lots of motion blur and ghosting.
About as much as monitors of years past, so some may not mind, but others looking for a high performance screen with smooth motion look else where.
It's image quality is outstanding I have to admit. Surprised me.
Full 1080p.
Colors are about as accurate as the average user is going to need. Bright panel with decent contrast, even though it's black levels weren't the deepest.
Sharp clear picture with no negatives in the picture department. If I was judging it on picture quality alone over it's performance for gaming I'd still own it TBH.
It does have a glossy screen so beware of screen reflections.
Only one user setting for all the inputs.
Audio out jack (for HDMI) volume even maxed out was sort of low, and if your using HDMi you'll be using the audio out since this panel doesn't have a speaker. If your using headphones it may be a problem, with external speakers it wont be.
For the average PC user (text documents, web surfing, watching videos) at least in the picture department; can't speak of it's longevity, this is probably one of the nicest screens you can get above 22" for $150 or less. Good deal. Again, Acer surprised me.
IPS panels produce rich color and great viewing angles, but your going to need a TN with their faster response times for a slight reduction in blur.
I'm still searching for that panel with smooth motion for competitive gaming. Tv's that promise smooth motion also introduce lots of processing of the iamge which leads to input lag. Which is worst then motion blur.
Dang shame LCD's killed Plasma Tv's. I may need to invest in a purpose built gaming monitor. At about twice this price with less picture quality...It's a shame with the give and take of LCDs. I miss Panasonic plasma's. =(
What's great about it: Good color. Sharp clear image. Good viewing angles. Sleek design.
What's not so great: Buttons and menu aren't well laid out. Audio out was kind of low, and only one user adjustment profile for all inputs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is great starter but if you need more then one HDMI upgrade to a larger Monitor by Asus.

can a lcd monitor be hooked to a Directv box??

Yes, with the proper cable.
Modern LCD monitors and Tv are pretty much the same. Usually the monitor just has less features, and maybe no speakers.

But they're are exceptions.

Does this monitor have a gaming mode?

Yes, no.
Unlike other monitors/Tvs this doesn't come with a so called "gamemode", but it does come with a mode called graphics which I assume is Acer's version of gamemode.

Gamemodes aren't necessarily necessary. They are intended to decrease processing of the image, but more often they are simple visual presets that seem to turn up brightness/contrast, saturation, and edge enhancement.

Some manufactures may have better optimized gamemodes then others though...

Single Monitor vs. Two Side by Side Monitors

I currently work off two monitors side by side and work off one and the other at the same time; is there a "single monitor" allowing the same type of side by side work on the same screen? Functionality would have to be that of side by side monitors, both windows would have to remain open while one or the other was being worked on.
Yes. Many manufactures have released 29" 'wide' panels with an aspect ratio of 21 by 9. Most modern panels (tvs included) are 16 by 9 aspect ratio.
In layman's, they are wider then average for the exact purpose which your seeking, to have to two documents or applications opened side my side at their full size on one screen.

Also gamers may choose these newer wider screens instead of using a multiple screen set up to save space on a cramped desk.
