Acer AL2216Wbd 22" LCD Monitor

No better monitor for the price.

Strengths: Very, very slim even for an LCD. Fast refresh rates. This baby screams with no lag issues and the DVI works flawlessly. Very bright. Had to tone it doen but it definately has radiant capabilities

Weakness: The stand. Can't adjust it. Leans downward too much for tall folk.

I paid 225 from ClubIT but knew Acer was a competent manufacturer so the cheap price didn't set me off. I have not been disappointed. It has freed up lots of space on my desk I need and my only worry was it would make my 3d game playing troublesome. I was wrong. Although it does lack the resolution of my old CRT, it is soo much brighter and bigger. This hard core gamer has not experienced any...

Good overall product

Strengths: Price, design

Weakness: lack of digital - analog switch button, one touch presetting button

Everything is good except that the buttons mentioned above are not present. I have to go through the menus to switch between my laptop and desktop when both are connected. First one I got had three dead pixels, so I got it replaced, this one doesn't have any dead pixels.

Good monitor, inexpensive for performance

Strengths: Large monitor, clear

Weakness: Flimsy stand

For about $300, a 22" 16X10 DVI monitor was too good to pass up. So far, looks good, text is crisp, now I have enough landscape for two side by side text pages. Could use a bit more contrast, but for the price, couldn't beat it.

Great Monitor at a Good Price

Strengths: Good brightness, large area, low price relative to other monitors of the same size, excellent response time

Weakness: Some flicker on certain patterns

This monitor beats my 19 inch LCD in terms of brightness and clarity! It's an excellent choice if you are on a budget, but need the screen space for your computing. The only drawback I have seen is a slight flicker of the screen redrawing with a very tight dot patter: the area between keyframe in Flash's timeline. It can be distracting.

Acer 22 inch Widescreen monitor

Strengths: Price Brightness Response in games Size/Form Factor

Weakness: Back light Bleed Some stuck pixels (really hard to notice) not a big problem Vertical viewing angle

This is a very decent monitor for the price one of the best of the 22 inch budget panels. The black light bleed on dark screens is probably the worst part of the monitor. It is mostly on the very top edge of the screen. The stuck pixel(s) is not a big problem and the vertical viewing angle is also not that bothersome. It does a very decent job at down sizing resolutions in games and is best with...

Great Monitor with decent price

Strengths: fast response time, wide screen

Weakness: no height adjustment

I have bought this monitor on Thanksgiving at CircuitCity. The monitor is great with 5ms response time and wide view angle. However the material looks cheap compared to my current NEC 19inch LCD. Also there is no height adjustment. Overall I am satisfied with it based on the price and performance.

Decent widescreen monitor for the cost.

Strengths: DVI and VGA inputs, 5ms response time.

Weakness: There is a little bleed from the backlight (it's not terrible, but it's noticeable). Cannot remove stand from monitor when using a VESA mount.

I've had this monitor for a couple of weeks now, and I'm rather happy with it except for the two weaknesses I listed. I have it connected to my laptop and I use it as my primary monitor. Since my laptop was not made to use a display at this resolution, I had to download EnTech PowerStrip in order to get the computer to interact with the display at 1680x1050. I recently ordered the Neoya X2VGA so...

Good monitor

Strengths: Bright, large, wide

Weakness: cheap stand, difficult to switch between dual input

This monitor looks as good as many others that I have seen. The screen is great with no dead pixels. The stand isn't that great, but it is easy to overlook for the price. I recommend it and would buy it again. If you have two computers and are going to switch between dual inputs often then you might want to purchase a different screen. There are buttons on the front of the monitor, but none of...

Amazing. A world of difference from a 15" CRT

Strengths: 5ms response time, 1680x1050, vesa mount, FREAKIN huge, 170 degree viewing angle

Weakness: Stand is a bit flimsy

I shudder when I think about life before my 22" flat panel. It was cheap to buy (not at all in quality!) and it's really big. I don't know what more to say. If I absolutely had to nit pick about something, it would be that the stand isn't that sturdy. It feels a bit flimsy, like when you try and lean the monitor back--you definitely feel the base lifting off of the desk or surface your monitor is...

One of the best 22" LCD's in its class

Strengths: Large 22" wide screen, 1680x1050 resolution, 5ms response time, 700:1 contrast ratio.

Weakness: Stand needs some more work, height not adjustable.

This is great 22" wide screen LCD monitor considering I paid $260 at CircuitCity. The size is just amazing when compared to other 19" monitors. 5ms response time and 700:1 contrast ratio is great. The stand cannot adjust height, definitely feels cheap and could use some work if Acer is to improve its quality. Overall, this is a good buy if you can get it below $300, no other famous brand names...
