Acer AL1714CB (Black) 17 inch LCD Monitor

Pros: Vibrant color, easy to install, seemed like good quality for the money
Cons: Need small hands to insert plug-in power cable that is parallel to the base.

Reviewed hundreds of monitors and chose this one because: I didn't want to spend $400 or more for a flat screen monitor with vibrant color and excellent clarity. The packaging was excellent - sturdy and constructed to take shipping shock very well. ...

Pros: Good monitor for the money spent.
Cons: None.

This monitor was purchased at COMPUSA with a major rebate. That is the reason I bought it - price. It is a good quality monitor but nothing special. If you can get it for 150 like I did with rebate then it is a much better purchase. Over all it is not quite as good as the other (higher priced) monitors i have seen. But for the price it was the best available.

Pros: Small profile, no smearing, very clear, GREAT PRICE!!
Cons: Colors off slightly, mostly red

I bought this monitor 6 months ago and have not anything bad to say about it. It replaced a 19" Viewsonic CRT and I can say that the clarity and brightness are excellent. The colors are bright and very vivid. Only the hues are off slightly and you can tweak most of that out. There is absolutely no smearing and I use it for videos and gaming. I paid $225 with free shipping from MWave and got it in two days. Nice profile and easy to use.
