Strengths: Large monitor, clear
Weaknesses: Flimsy stand
Summary: 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.

Strengths: Bright, large, wide
Weaknesses: cheap stand, difficult to switch between dual input
Summary: 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 them switch between inputs like every other monitor I have seen. Instead, you have to go into the on screen display (OSD) to switch inputs. It wasn't really an issue for me because I only have one computer.

Strengths: Good brightness, large area, low price relative to other monitors of the same size, excellent response time
Weaknesses: Some flicker on certain patterns
Summary: 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.

Strengths: I sell Acers at work and they work very well.
Weaknesses: They can be a little darker than a CRT, like all LCD.
Summary: Don't be afraid to buy because of the name, but I might wait for the price to come down. I rather have a 19" for $150, than a 22" for $384.
