I don't know what other people are talking about. I use this monitor to play games with on my PC. It is certainly useful in more than just reading Word Documents. Bright ? what do people mean when they say a TV monitor is not bright enough ? If it isn't turn up the brightness...LOL.. And it certainly isn't "Cheap" feeling.
IT ISN'T a Widescreen...DUH, so don't complain about it not being one or compare it to a widescreen.
AND it ISN'T a LED BACKLIT Monitor !! All this you know BEFORE you buy it. It's a basic decent 17 inch monitor. My movies look great on it but that is a partial function of my video card too.
I have a top notch Video card and PC and I have found this to be a superb little monitor, but I am going to a larger screen soon, although I'm not crazy about widescreens.
At any rate before you go judging this monitor, think about the rest of your system first. It will certainly bring out the flaws in your integrated video chipsets and inexpensive PCs, but at 17 inches it just doesn't cut it anymore even for "Word Documents".
IF you are still using a 15 inch or even 17 inch CRT it is a nice upgrade for a good price. I have had very good luck with ACER products over the years.
But keep in mind people what something is BEFORE you buy it..:-) Don't buy a Prius and then complain it's not as fast as a Porsche.

Monitors have gotten too large and wide for my tastes. I found this the finest monitor I've tested in this price range that fits nicely on a table that does not need to be more than three feet away to take it all in. I waited three months after buying this to post this review so I've kicked it around awhile. NO dead pixels, 250 nits is plenty of brightness because there are contrast and cool/hot brightness settings that suit any tastes! I just hope they keep making this winner and don't change anything if and when I need a second or third one. Nice job Acer!

Amazon Verified Purchase
Opened the box, plugged in cords, snapped monitor into base (from pictograph directions printed on box), turned it on and voila! Only resolution to be changed (easily on a Mac OS 10.6.4, under System Preferences - Monitors). So clear, so easy. No need for enclosed cd and printed manual (yet).
4 stars because monitor does not tilt (product specs didn't say it would) but my last ones (Samsung, ViewSonic) did. I don't yet know about product lifespan.

Garbage
Maybe I'm the last guy in the world who still prefers a square monitor to a wide-screen, so I bought this one because it was practically the only one left that wasn't wide-screen. Read more

Buyer beware of this Vendor!
This product was sold as used in "like new" condition. The monitor itself does work. However, it was manufactured 5 years ago...and had a broken stand. Read more

Works fine
Everything was as promised. Only problems are some of the newer connections to the towers need adapters. Easy to fix though. Good product.

Great Monitor
This is a great monitor. I have two on my desk and they work great together. Worth the money they cost.

Looks good & works fine
Nothing fancy but it does what I need it to do. Just using it for a computer with no streaming video needs so no commentary on that aspect.

Does not hurt my eyes & has slim porportions. Adjustable stand is user friendly & something I have to utilize often.

good buy
The product didn't seem bright enough at first, but either I don't notice it anymore, or it took a few minutes to power up all the way. Read more

Monitor
The monitor was a gift to replace one of the old fashioned huge desktop monitors. The picture is very clear and the size perfect for the home office.
