Strengths: Sleek looks and definitely the price.
Weaknesses: None.
Summary: This is defintely one of the best LCD monitor for this size/price ratio. Very sleek looking and easy to set up. I added a LCD TV Tuner and instantly got a 20" LCD TV at half the price.

Strengths: Perfect size. Excellent colors. Sleek looking.
Weaknesses: Would like to see the monitor set up a bit higher maybe by about 1 inch but this is really nit-picking.
Summary: We've need a new monitor to go with our new desk top for sometime and finally settled on the Acer 20". Not to big. Not to little. Just Perfect. Colors are exceptional right out the box. Truly user friendly. Plug in and go. Purchased ours from Walmart.com for $189. Bought the monitor site unseen, only went by other reviews posted. You won't be disappointed in this monitor.

Strengths: cost
Weaknesses: picture quality
Summary: I use these at my desk and would not recommend them for gaming or graphic usage. These make great monitors for working on spreadsheet and word processing. Overall we got these for a good price and can't complain.

Strengths: Low price, I got it from newegg for $180, it is an OK deal.Sleek design, enough sharpness. Vista certified, widescreen is good for Windows Vista users.
Weaknesses: Unfortunately mine has a dead pixel on the left bottom corner. This one is made from a cheap TN panel, so don't expect too much on color performance.
Summary: If you want a cheap LCD monitor, this is a good choice, but don't expect too much, it is a low-end monitor anyway. If you are not very picky on color, this is the one for you.

Strengths: Crystal clear display, excellent viewing size, slim design, good color reproduction, very reasonable price.
Weaknesses: None so far.
Summary: I've had this monitor since March and it is an awesome widescreen at an incredible price. I work in the IT field and have used widescreen monitors that cost considerably more but don't perform nearly as well or have the features of the Acer. I would definitely recommend, especially with the 3 year warranty.

Strengths: Price, 3-yr Warranty, Brightness, and Sharpness
Weaknesses: Haven't found any yet
Summary: I've had this for about a week now. It's a good product and at the price point, very good value. Mine arrived with no dead pixels. It's a very bright display, which is a plus for me. Also, make sure you use the correct screen size definition and adjust your typeface setting using the Microsoft Cleartype utility. This will keep things from looking fuzzy.

Strengths: Great value - Great display, sleek machine. Very simple to set up, works MUCH better that I could have hoped for, especially for the low price.
Weaknesses: NONE. Other than the fact it makes my old speakers and printer look clunky. And I need a new TV, because my OLD one (CRT) looks fuzzy after I look at this...
Summary: If you are looking at this on a CRT monitor, save your eyes, quit wasting time, and get one of these. The specs for the dollars on this monitor are excellent, and although I did seek a quick response time and high contrast ratio and a 16 x 10 display, the reality is that this monitor is FANTASTIC. The colors, the bright and crisp images are great. The 3 year warranty speaks for the quality. I highly recommend and would buy again.
