I wanted to upgrade my old 15" Viewsonic monitor to something larger, and saw this Acer 19" monitor on the web. I was unfamiliar with Acer products, but the price was great, so I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I bought this monitor!
Right out of the box, the first thing you notice is it's design. It has a nice, glossy black frame around the screen, and a silver base shaped like an inverted V. All of the controls are easily accessible at the bottom front of the screen. The power button glows blue when the monitor is on and orange when in standby mode.
Acer includes an eDisplay Management software program which will allow you to tweak the display settings to your liking, and to quickly change between any of 5 display modes: standard, text, graphics, movie or user defined.
I've been using this monitor for over 2 months now and the only downside I've found is that it is very bright using the factory default settings.
I love the fact that this is a widescreen monitor; DVD movies in widescreen format look great, and I can leave the Google or Yahoo widgets up at the right side of the screen and still have plenty of viewing space for my internet browser. I'm not a gamer, so I can't comment about using this monitor for computer games.
If you're looking for a quality 19" monitor at a great price, give this one a try!

I recently had an AOC 19 inch LCD monitor but at 3 years old it stopped working, so I did much research and found this monitor to have all the features I wanted. I was not accustomed to widescreen prior to my purchase, but I love this monitor, it was quick to set up, just plug in and go. I also do a lot of online gaming, and this monitor is awesome for that. I give it 5 stars, because it is a crisp, clear quality picture that is truely amazing, and Acer had great reviews on their products.

We find this monitor works just fine for us. We do not have it hooked up for audio since we already have separate speakers. One point...don't assume that you can just quickly set it up by using the existing cords from your other monitor. We were lazy and did just that. We had all kinds of problems with the video quality of the picture. We were ready to send it back when we decided to try using the cords that came with it. Bingo! No more problems.

I was looking for a new monitor, and I subscribe to Consumer Reports. They recommended this model for this size screen. They were right on. This is a very good buy for the money. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Accustomed as I am to the "Square" screen of older monitors, I was at first put off by the "wide angle" view of this monitor. But it is very sharp, very clean, and I have grown to like it very much.

We've only had the monitor for a few months, but the price was right, and Consumer Reports rated it one of their best buys. The monitor looks very nice, and is designed very well. The picture quality is quite good, and I wish we'd looked at Acer before.

I actually purchased this monitor for my sister who was in need of it as her older one had quit on her and I offered to buy on line as I had the capability to do so. She trusted my judgement on the quality and performances of the acer units. As it ends up she informed me she was very satisfied and thanked me repeatedly for the unit. I currently have a model AL1916 acer and am totally happy with its clarity and performance.I would certainly incourage anyone to buy one of these.

Great monitor for the price. Plug and play. Only neg. is no swivel

I've been using LCD's for years, and this one has as good of a picture as any. Have it hooked up to on-board video, so no pricey video card is being used. In this case it's not used for gaming, but performs very well for "everyday" tasks, including: Microsoft Word, Publisher, Internet Explorer, and showing videos. Tough to beat this monitor for the price.

I bought this for the preacher up the street, and I wish it were mine. It would look really good next to my 21" Acer on my desk. Can't ever have too much real estate, right?

I've been happy with every Acer monitor I've ever used. They look good.
