I'm pleased with this purchase. The 17" display at the traditional 4:3 (roughly) aspect ratio provides plenty of "real estate" for viewing Internet content, for graphics work and page layout, and for working in several application windows at the same time. The screen resolution (1280x1024) is fine, making for clean and crisp images. The refresher rate is also satisfactory, as there is no apparent flicker and video appears smooth.

The menu and settings for brightness, contrast, etc. are simple and intuitive. I haven't had to make any custom settings and I'm happy with the presets.

It's a good monitor at a very competitive price!

I'm using this monitor with a 5 or 6 yr old Dell computer, and it's working very well. It has allowed me to squeeze another year out of the computer while they get the bugs out of Windows 7. (I always wait for SP2) LOL..... Good for the price, easy to hook up, came with the cable, I'm good.....wish it had speakers built in like my old Sharp monitor, but I'll just pick up some adjuncts later.

I received the monitor quickly and after hooking it up, found that it works very well. Color and clarity are great and I would recomment it for anyone.

I originally bought one of the new style monitor and found to my dismay that all images are distorted by the rectangular image. Since I use my monitor for work for a charity, "The City of Hope" that made it impossible to view objects in true form. Thankfully after buying other items through Amazon I went on line and found this monitor, returned the other and am delighted. The picture is clear and bright, objects are show realistically to size, it takes up less room is slim and attractive. Hope when the time comes it will continue to be available should I ever need another.

I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS MONITOR AND HOW QUICKLY I RECEIVED IT. IT'S ONLY A BASIC MONITOR BUT IT'S A PERFECT REPLACEMENT FOR THE ORIGINAL. I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED A WIDE FLAT SCREEN MONITOR FROM BEST BUY BUT IT WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY OLDER COMPUTER AND RESULTED IN A DISTORTED, SQUAT IMAGE.

This is a great monitor for those who DO NOT have widescreen output from their computers. The price is the best around and the quality is great! It has a bright, vivid display and is HD-like in its clarity. I replaced a very good (and HUGE) CRT monitor with this unit, and couldn't be happier. Since my purchase, I have noticed this exact model being used in several retail stores as the monitor for their electronic cash registers. That indicates to me that they are capable of long hours of continuous usage and are reliable. Highly recommended.

I needed a monitor for my second computer, so it didn't have to be great. This was the cheapest new one I could find. It is crisper than my good monitor. I doesn't have a dvi input, but I am not going to play intensive games on this computer. What can I say, it is a great buy.

The Acer V173b 17 inch monitor is everything I expected in an inexpensive monitor. It has a clear crisp picture and has only one shortcoming, that is the monitor is stationary and cannot be adjusted for height on the computer desk. It has to be raised onto something to bring it more to eye level. Otherwise a good buy.

Perfect for the small space I had available! Most new monitors are larger
so this moniter was ideal for me.

I trade every day and I use three 17" monitors with my trading workstation. I had three ACER AL1716 monitors which did the job for me. One stopped working so I replaced it with this V173B because I could not find an AL1716 replacement. The screen on this monitor is clearer and brighter than my other 2. I had to practically turn off the brightnes setting to get it to match my other monitors and provide a smooth screen transition. If you don't need a monitor with audio this is a terrific monitor at a great price.
