This review is from: Acer X203H bd 20-Inch LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

This is my secondary monitor for my laptop and works great. I was looking for something that is around 19" and gives better resolution than 1400 X 1050 on my laptop.
My main use of the unit is for VMs and text though I use it sometimes for graphics.

Gives 1680X 1050 max resolution at 60HZ refresh and well worth the money that you spend on it. It is not the glossy / ultra bright vivid color screen type, though you can use it at high brightness using the pre-sets or custom calibration.

This review is from: Acer X203H bd 20-Inch LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

I wish I could rate this monitor higher because for my purposes it's a five all the way however for someone looking to purchase it as the primary resource the deficiencies in ergonomics compared to other units in the same size range do not justify a higher rating. Then again, there is the price...if the astute shopper is paying attention, this one can be found for less than a Franklin note, and at that price it looks even better.

I use it in a dual view configuration with an upscale Samsung Syncmaster of the same size so the differences in features are clearly evident. Only the tilt angle is adjustable on the Acer so if one has a workspace set-up where nuanced adjustments can be avoided it's just fine. Even with user defined customization of brightness and sharpness it is not going to match many other pricier models. In native mode, colors are noticeably less bright, although ironically, the color reproduction in graphics modes seems reflect greater accuracy than my premium model so for photo editing I actually use the Acer instead. It also has a text mode for contrasts to assist in reducing eyestrain. If you're looking for 1080P and HDMI, then you need to get a reality check at this price level.

It will accommodate either DVI or VGA inputs (cables included which was a nice surprise) with 1680 X 1050 or 1600 X 900 (analog) max resolution at 60Hz. Although one might have some reservations regarding construction and performance, it feels sturdy, durable, is well packaged and I didn't have any dead pixels.

Just about the only complaint I have is the manipulation of the control buttons on the monitor frame takes a little while to get used to as they seem harder to press than one customarily experiences.

This review is from: Acer X203H bd 20-Inch LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

Purchased this monitor for my wife's 70+ mother in OH, and she was able to make the connections and adjust the settings with a bit of over-the-phone coaching.

She likes the flat screen/larger screen format, because it frees up desk space for her and the larger picture helps her better see the details while she's surfing the net and composing/reading emails.

This product was a good value for the money and seems to be just what she needed.
