5.0 out of 5 stars Great pivot monitor, November 26, 2008

I bought this monitor for my wife to use in its portrait mode. Unlike most other wide screen monitors on the market, this LCD has the ability to pivot 90 degrees changing its landscape aspect ratio to a portrait aspect ratio.

The display looks bright and sharp in both orientations.

The change from one orientation to the other requires a bit of user input, either by hitting a key-combination or by choosing the desired rotation setting from a menu.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another story of the wrong model being sent...., December 26, 2008

I ordered the B223-bdmr from Target via Amazon but received the cheaper V223 bd. Similar model numbers but not the same item. Acer needs to do a better job of differentiating its models.

Amazon was easy with the return but I wasted about two hours in the process. I did set up the cheaper/non-tilt model and the picture looked fine but re-packing everything and getting to the post office had not been in my plans.

It might be a good idea to call this order in. You might get what you wanted without the return cycle.

I have been working in a computer lab with Acer monitors and thus far, they have performed well. If I were living my life as an on-line gamer, I might spend the extra for the performance edge but for general use, I think that the Acer monitors offer a nice balance of performance and value.

1/3/09 I received the replacement monitor and was not entirely surprised to find that Amazon had, once again, shipped me the V223 instead of the B223. Another couple of phone calls, some more on-line and another chance to repeat the details of the same problem....

Long story short-I get to wait for a refund and then can re-order the monitor after Amazon has worked out their inventory problems. In the end, my complaint is with Amazon for not getting this right. Twice.

In the fullness of time, I may find that I hate the monitor on its merits but not having seen it yet, I would not know.

On this item, from Amazon, as the Romans would say 'Caveat Emptor' (let the buyer beware)

An update on this review will be forthcoming once I receive the correct monitor. As with other reviewers they have shipped the V223W instead of the B223W. I purchased this monitor primarily for the tilt/rotation capabilities and, of course, the V223W does not have them (Hence why it is a less expensive[...]
