Acer V223-WBD 22" Widescreen TFT LCD Monitor (Black)

Comment: This product was defective. Had a blue line right down the side. I thought it was a great deal for the price, but in addition to the defect I found this monitor to be dull and faded. I wound up getting a Gateway for just a few dollars more that not only worked well, but has incredible clarity. I have purchased 2 Gateways in the last 4 years (this one I gave to my father and I have another from 4-5 yrs ago for personal use), and am convinced it's worth the extra money. Don't be fooled by the low price tag. Get a Gateway and you won't be disappointed or even thinking about purchasing another for a while. It will pay for itself multiple times over.

I should note, that as always, Amazon was happy to take the product back and give me a full refund. Thanks Amazon.

Comment: While it worked it was fine, but mine died almost exactly one year after I bought it. That's a pathetic life span, so I doubt I'll ever buy another Acer again.

Comment: This is my second Acer. I bought both wanting more monitor space for my work and home, as well as not wanting to pay much for it. These have both been great monitors (both 22'). They don't do anything fancy other than give me more screen space. The image quality is very good. I have no complaints. I'm sure it would be nice if they could pivot and basically have more freedom of movement/positioning, but I'm usually just sitting in front of them, so... my needs are constrained to normal computer use.

Comment: my computer is an i mac however the monitor comes with an instruction booklet that is useless !! the included instruction disc is for windows only. i called customer service and was connected to india only to be told that they only support windows and not apple --- that they do not have a disc for apple .
i then went to their website which had instructions for downloading the drivers for windows and vista--- not for apple .
all of the above is too bad -- the monitor is a good buy and seems ok. acer needs a lesson in customer support!

Comment: I purchased two of these monitors for my computer build to use in a dual screen setup. They arrived packaged very well, with no dead pixels. The thin frame around the edges makes them very ideal for a dual screen setup, but honestly, after unboxing the first one, I realized with just how big it is that one should've been enough!
