User Reviews for Acer AL2626Wd

  • Reviewed by: Networm

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Clear Crispy Price

    Weaknesses: only 25.5", the frame is thick

    Overall Evaluation: The quality of the LCD is good, good color reproduction, good contrast and very good viewing angle.The LCD use a A-MVA panel which provide the above PROs. The price is alos good compare most 26" LCD, licke Samsung, NEC, ViewSonic. Most of those brand will charge the same price but give you a inferior TN panel LCD.There are three thing I don't like: 1. It's not advertised 16" LCD, it's only 25.5". 2. The frame is sliver and looks too thick 3. the base is not adjustable.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Crispy, clear, no dead pixel.

    Weaknesses: frame is a little thick, the base is poor

    Overall Evaluation: This is a fairly good LCD monitor for the price. I got it from CC at $480 after MIR. The performance to price ratio is high, the LCD use MVA panel which provide better color reproduction and viewing angle compared to those TN panel. Other brand LCDs with the same specifications and similar performance are selled at more than $600. which some newer 24" LCD. The silver frame looks a little thick and the base is poorly designed

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Price is relatively low compare to other 26", 27" LCD

    Weaknesses: The base is not adjustable

    Overall Evaluation: Personally I like this LCD monitor. The price is relatively low compare to most 26" or 27" LCD. It use MVA panel while a lot of 27" LCD manufacuters use TN panel -- which is not as googd as MVA panel.The color, bright and constrast is good, but you need todo some calibration. I don't have any DVI issue under native resolution as sme mentioned in Newegg.The monitor's base is poorly designed, you can't adjust the height, all you can do is tile forward or backward, --- maybe that's the one reason why this monitor is checp compare to other 27" monitor.

    Strengths: Size, Clarity, Image, Cost

    Weaknesses: Color. Would be better in black for editing video.

    Overall Evaluation: I love these monitors. I bought them for work and I'm buying the same ones for home. I use them in a dual monitor application. They are completely adaptable to just about any need. I usually stick to the old, proven brands, but more and more I am impressed with Acer.
