Advantages VGA/DVI input, large screen for movies, fast response time for movies and games
Disadvantages non-adjustable height and tilt, default brightness settings (of mine) was too bright.
The Acer 1916C. This has been with me for a while now, and I've connected it up to desktops and laptops. I've used this for surfing the net, playing games, watching videos and working on websites.
I bought this mainly because I wanted a large (19") flatscreen monitor with a decent resolution, which I could use for working and playing on. I deliberately didn't go for the widescreen version of this because I expected to also play games on it.Things I like about it:
- It's slick
- Was easy to setup out of the box
- Decent screen size
- 5ms response - i.e. fast response for games and movies
- 700:1 contrast - i.e. high quality, the higher the better.
- came with both VGA and DVI cables (you might be amazed at the number of monitors which only provide one of the two cables - which would probably set you back £5!)
One thing - make sure that you change the default brightness settings! When I picked this up initially, it was too bright, giving a bit of a headache after an hour's use - this was fixed by decreasing the brightness and reducing the colour settings.
Other things of note:
Overall, I think this is a great piece of kit, the only annoyances letting it down is the unadjustable height and tilt, and the default brightness settings (which can be fixed)
