4.0 out of 5 stars Note the native resolution, November 4, 2006

This review is from: Acer AL1916WAB 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor (Electronics)

I have other Acer monitors and love them all. This one is bright and clear just like the others. I did overlook the native resolution of 1400x900. 100% my fault. Be careful if you want to use its full capabilities. Many laptops don't go this high. I bought this to go with a laptop. My new Toshiba laptop only goes up to 1280x800. I had to back my laptop video down to 1024x768 to show the task bar. And, of course, everything is larger and there is less on the screen than if it was running at 1400x900. It appears many higher end desktop pc video cards have 1400x900 as a resolution selection. I'm mildly disappointed but I probably would have bought it anyway. An excellent value for the money. But if you want to use this for tasks where you can fit a maximum amount onto the screen, be sure your pc's video card has 1400x900 resolution as a selection.

I bought this monitor for my two boy's computer this past Christmas, based on a couple of reviews---but mainly based on the price. Mostly I swear by Samsung flat panels and the Acer name is hardly the one I think of for top-drawer components....

But the monitor beat all of my expectations. It features both impressive top resolution and good brightness/clarity. The cheap features are mostly the lack of extra utilities and adjustment in the base. It doesn't swivel or tilt or do height adjustment.

Other than that, though, it's been a rock solid monitor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great monitor but make sure you have the correct video card, February 27, 2007

There are many comments about how people can't get the correct 1440 x 900 aspect ratio with this monitor... but the problem is not with the monitor nor is it with the drivers. The problem is with their video card / adapter. Just make sure your video adapter allows you to view 1440 x 900 and this monitor will work great. It's a nice minotor with excellent resolution... HD stuff looks great on it and it's hard to beat the price.
