Cons:
Non user removable base for VESA mounting - see summary.
Pros: DVI and VGA inputs, nice design. Comment:
I liked the design and price of this unit, and often small monitors don't have a DVI port (this does). Matte finish reduced glare. However the base cannot be removed without removing the front bezel - there are 5 screws hidden away that hold on the base. I started by prying off the bezel at the bottom. The prying end of a hammer fits neatly into the flap where the base sticks out of. By gently rocking the hammer, it popped out the first two tabs to each side the base. Then it was just a matter of working carefully around the edge to pop all the other tabs out. Unscrew and remove the base, pop the bezel back together (ensure the circuit board behind the buttons is also clipped in) and it's all set to mount. As a result of this poor design they want you instead to mail it to them or leave the unsightly base hanging out, so make sure everything works first and do it at your own risk! (may void your warranty) Overall it's a nice little monitor for light work or as a 2nd or 3rd monitor to increase productivity. 4 stars. |

None that I can see.
Pros: SturdyGood picture qualityCheap, got it on sale for $69.99 Comment:
I bought this monitor to just display my network information, and display active downloads and uploads and my network utilization, etc. For the $70 dollars I paid for it I can't complain. It does exactly what I need it to do and the picture is quite clear to me. Definitely would recommend to get if it goes on sale for that price again. |

Cons:
A little backlight bleedingA tad small for most folks, probably
Pros: InexpensiveAcceptable display Comment:
Needed an inexpensive monitor in a hurry to replace one that died suddenly, and was able to pick up one of these well under a hundred dollars. I wasn't expecting great things, but the monitor actually wasn't that bad at all, for the price. There was, however some significant backlight bleeding on the edges that might offend some users. Since this is a 18.5 inch widescreen, it certainly won't satisfy the monster screen maniacs, but it provided a basic display and that may be all some are looking for. This isn't really a serious complaint, but the on/off button on this monitor is an odd one. It's shaped like a wave and glows bright red when on. But it does the job. If you are looking for a good, cheap, basic monitor, then this one fits the bill.BTW, I was quite concerned when it arrived as it had received more than a little abuse in shipping. There was a furrow half way across one side of the box that split the cardboard completely through, and a chunk ripped out of one edge. Luckily, the styrofoam packing inside that completely encloses the screen saved the day and the monitor itself was unharmed. |

Cons:
Text Slightly Blurry (for me) as there's no sharpness setting but very readable still.
Pros: Cheap On Sale, DVI cable included, Very Acceptable Image Quality. Comment:
I'm using this as a work bench monitor and have bought one similar for a customer. For the price of these they are so excusable for the minor flaws such as text crispness and size. I mean there's a DVI cable included, the image is very bright, the footprint on a desk is miniscule and power consumption is nill. I've tried a few games on this and it works well enough...I'd buy this again if needed yes. |

Cons:
Resolution (Because of it's 18.5 size)
Pros: Color QualityBrightnessCost Comment:
This monitor was priced at $69.99 and that is cheaper then a lot of used Acer's go for. I bought this monitor as a replacement for a 20 inch LG monitor that died while I wait for a sale on a somewhat decent monitor to go on sale.I'm impressed with the Quality of the monitor, it more then makes up for it's 1360 x 768 Resolution. The response rate seems to be faster then 5MS but I'm not going to argue with the spec's. |

Cons:
- menu is clumsy and awkward
Pros: - 80$ on sale!- very bright and crisp- color reproduction is very good Comment:
I bought this as a secondary monitor and I am thoroughly impressed. Compared to my Samsung 2443, it definitely has better white reproduction. My Samsung looked yellow compared to it, and required some OCD tweaking with the RGB (since it didn't have color temperature adjustment) to get it sorta white. So I give it 5 stars just for showing up my 300$ samsung. |

Cons:
menu system is clunky
Pros: inexpensive for very good quality (caught during the black friday sale) Comment:
i bought this for my aunt who was in DIRE need of a new monitor. this blew her away. great colour, very sharp (even on an older computer but needed to up the dpi). it was about $80 on sale so it was a wicked deal.my only gripe was the menu/osd: it was pretty annoying. it's large (consumes visible space) and it wasn't as intuitive initially or responsive to commands at times (then again, i was tired from work...). i found myself double-pressing or having muddle what i was viewing to get the settings right for my aunt, so it took some time.on sale, hells ya a great buy. otherwise... (hence 3 stars, otherwise, if regular price was a tad lower than $150, possibly a 4) |

Cons:
Who cares? This thing was 100 bucks!
Pros: $109? Yes please. Comment:
I bought two of these to hook up to the dual-head graphics cards I bought (and reviewed earlier). They work like a charm. Very decent sized monitor. Not true HD but will display 720p nicely. Has DVI and VGA inputs. |

Cannot change monitor angle
Pros: Clear, High Contrast ImageEasy Stable Base Assembly Comment:
Great deal! I bought this monitor for the price to replace and old low resolution monitor, I didn't expect such a clear high contrast image. The base assembly is simple and sturdy. Overall Very Happy with this product. |

Cons:
View angles could be better - but they're decent enough and I can't complain for $100 monitor
Pros: Cheap priceNice lookComes with both VGA and DVI wiresIs able to tilt (enough)Clear bright colors Comment:
Amazing deal. I bought two of these at $100 each. I hooked each up to 15.6" laptops. I figured it would be perfect to have a little bit larger screens at the same resolution of 1366x768. Only problem is these monitors are actually 136_0_x768 - not a big deal though. |

Cons:
None so far
Pros: inexpensive Comment:
I purchased this monitor for a client to replace a CRT monitor at their business. They are very pleased with the clarity of the screen. They did not expect the quality of this low priced product. |
I use this monitor as a secondary monitor to allow me to increase productivity and the monitor does its job. I have a window in my office which can let in a lot of sunlight and surprisingly, the glare isn't too bad on this monitor. If you can get it for cheap, it's a good secondary monitor.
