  Duration of ownership:2 Days

  Strengths: DVI and VGA inputs, 5ms response time.

  Weaknesses: There is a little bleed from the backlight (it's not terrible, but it's noticeable). Cannot remove stand from monitor when using a VESA mount.

  Overall Evaluation: I've had this monitor for a couple of weeks now, and I'm rather happy with it except for the two weaknesses I listed. I have it connected to my laptop and I use it as my primary monitor. Since my laptop was not made to use a display at this resolution, I had to download EnTech PowerStrip in order to get the computer to interact with the display at 1680x1050. I recently ordered the Neoya X2VGA so I can connect this monitor up with my Xbox. I'm excited about running my Xbox in high def. I'll update this review after I get the X2VGA in the mail. I'm giving this monitor 3 stars until I try some gaming out on it. I may just Dremel the stand off if I get sick of it just hanging there.

  Strengths: Price, quality, making your roommate's screen look like a gameboy

  Weaknesses: Not enough room on my desk for two

  Overall Evaluation: This is _the_ sweetest monitor out right now, especially for the price. It took me about two weeks to get used to seeing this monster on my desk.The only problem now is that every other monitor looks tiny compared to this one...

  Strengths: PriceBrightnessResponse in gamesSize/Form Factor

  Weaknesses: Back light Bleed Some stuck pixels (really hard to notice) not a big problemVertical viewing angle

  Overall Evaluation: 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.

  Strengths: Simple design. Low price compared to other monitors of the same size.

  Weaknesses: Stand could be sturdier and have ability to adjust height. First one I purchased had one dead pixel.

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased this monitor when I went to Circuit City to pick up a new desktop pc and printer. It was a great value for me because Circuit City had a $10 rebate on the monitor and a $120 combination rebate when purchased along with a pc & printer. I was disappointed to find one dead pixel but it was easily exchanged for another one which had no dead pixels. I have been pleased with both the color and clarity and I have noticed no flicker at the recommended resolution. I cannot say how good this monitor would be for gaming but for what I use it for (word processing, email, internet) it has worked great so far.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: fast response time, wide screen

  Weaknesses: no height adjustment

  Overall Evaluation: I have bought this monitor on Thanksgiving at CircuitCity. The monitor is great with 5ms response time and wide view angle. However the material looks cheap compared to my current NEC 19inch LCD. Also there is no height adjustment. Overall I am satisfied with it based on the price and performance.

  Strengths: Large 22" wide screen, 1680x1050 resolution, 5ms response time, 700:1 contrast ratio.

  Weaknesses: Stand needs some more work, height not adjustable.

  Overall Evaluation: This is great 22" wide screen LCD monitor considering I paid $260 at CircuitCity. The size is just amazing when compared to other 19" monitors. 5ms response time and 700:1 contrast ratio is great. The stand cannot adjust height, definitely feels cheap and could use some work if Acer is to improve its quality. Overall, this is a good buy if you can get it below $300, no other famous brand names come close to $300.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: 22", 5ms responce time, nice and bright

  Weaknesses: stand could be more sturdy, but since my desk is by the wall no problems

  Overall Evaluation: for thouse who does not know acer is one of the biggest LCD manufacturers in the world - viewsonic and samsung uses their screens so just think about it $500 samsung next to this monitor at the store uses same screen made by acer. i got it at circuit city for $260 and for that price there is no monitor that come close. if you can get it for under $300 that is the best choice by far. i bought 2 of them and could not be more happy.

  Strengths: Clear and big. Plug and play

  Weaknesses: No screen mode.

  Overall Evaluation: Just bought this big 22" monitor for $300 at Circuit City, plug and play. Big and clear, excellent quality. I can't adjust the screen mode, there is no button for it, as one finds on many monitor and TVs. Everything is big but stretched out wide, spent a few hours searching for answer but none found. Unless I can solve this problem, I will have to return it. Emailed Acer, hope to hear from them.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: 5ms response time, 1680x1050, vesa mount, FREAKIN huge, 170 degree viewing angle

  Weaknesses: Stand is a bit flimsy

  Overall Evaluation: I shudder when I think about life before my 22" flat panel. It was cheap to buy (not at all in quality!) and it's really big. I don't know what more to say. If I absolutely had to nit pick about something, it would be that the stand isn't that sturdy. It feels a bit flimsy, like when you try and lean the monitor back--you definitely feel the base lifting off of the desk or surface your monitor is resting upon. Oh yea it wouldn't wake up from sleep mode while plugged in with DVI until i installed my ATI drivers--I'm not sure if that's a known problem with LCDs or not.

  Strengths: Large monitor, clear

  Weaknesses: Flimsy stand

  Overall Evaluation: 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.
