Reviews around resolution (4.38 of 5)

  • Nice color balance, great resolution, and a nice size for an office.
  • It's cheap and not great resolution, but for the price who can complaine
  • The name implies it's 1920 x 1080 but in reality, it is a shoddy 1600 x 1200 resolution
  • Great resolution for viewing "educational" "documentaries"
  • My reason for downgrading it is that the 1600 x 900 resolution is annoying.

Reviews around display (4.33 of 5)

  • Only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is the lack of HDMI, or display port, or built in speakers
  • These monitors have a great, bright, vibrant 1080p display
  • so you end up with a fuzzy display by using some other resolution that is not optimal.
  • Nice display, have to adjust because the flicker rate is noticeable.
  • Pretty good, bot as crisp as I thought it would be but makes a nice, budget, secondary display.

Reviews around speaker (2.75 of 5)

  • As many have said already, the speakers ARE REALLY bad and you can hardly hear anything coming out of them even at full volume
  • Additionally, the integral sound bar is barely audible thus external speakers are required
  • not as sharp as I had hoped, but fairs well for documents and spreadsheets

Reviews around eye strain (2.09 of 5)

  • Can't complain too much as it's a cheap monitor.
  • so I wouldn't continue to suffer from eye strain using my laptop screen.
  • It serves well enough as a cheap secondary monitor for a home dual monitor setup, but I would recommend against it as a primary monitor if you're prone to eye strain like me
  • For me, this causes eye strain to the point I had to enter my nVidia settings and mess with the color control there
  • This greatly reduced eye strain but about 25% of the darker spectrum becomes black

Reviews around view angle (2.02 of 5)

  • The viewing angles are a bit bad, but unless you look at it tilted up or down, you are fine
  • Great color and brightness and for a TN panel the viewing angles are better than average in my experience.
  • This monitor is pretty ok, but buyer's should be very aware that the viewing angles on this monitor are atrocious
  • The viewing angles are terrible, but besides that it is a good monitor for the price.

Reviews around hdmi (1.95 of 5)

  • Then another ½ hour on the internet finding many users as perplexed as I with no guidance on how to make those darn buttons do what is needed.
  • Now, my problem might be that I am using a USB to dvi cable (previous reviews states this was a positive option) instead of an HDMI to DVI cable
  • Also I'd recommend the DVI to HDMI amazon connector here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L3KNZZ8?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0 (get the 9ft over the 6 ft) if you're using 3 monitors.
  • Not a bad monitor for the price, the only thing that would have made this a bit better is an hdmi por witch this doesnt have but not a problem for most if you have a dedicated graphics card as the all cinnection cords are included

  • Only disappointment was the lack of a HSMI port despite it being a HD monitor.
  • not as sharp as I had hoped, but fairs well for documents and spreadsheets

Reviews around bleed (1.00 of 5)

  • I needed a replacement companion monitor as my 19" LG died after 7 years heavy use considering at time the black Friday price was $69.99 absolute steal for a 21 inch, however it IS actually a LED monitor at least one I received is and does tilt to a standard degree, unfortunately it does suffer this weird light bleed
  • grab it otherwise look at ASUS or LG as they tend to have much better picture quality without weird light bleed issue that I have experinced with various Acer monitors tor around the same price.
  • the support screw in the base looks very very cheap.. i am concerned that the screens will eventually fall forward b/
