Acer AL1916ws

I've had this monitor for a little over 4 months now and I feel it's finally time to write the review that this product and this company deserves. I bought this monitor, the Acer AL1916W, specifically to do justice to my Xbox 360 and also to create more space on my computer desktop - I need a bit of space for a lot of Notepad windows and browsers windows as I'm a web designer. Okay, so get your cup of tea and your digestives and we'll start. After consolidating numerous forums and close friends I decided on this monitor to allow me to take advantage of my Xbox 360 and view the games in all its ... more

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It incorporates most of the latest features and technology that is currently available on the market. Unfortunately it contributes significantly to global warming.

However, always think carefully as to whether ... more

There is a VGA port on the back so you are now able to plug this into some DVD players if that's capable aswell. The main use for this port would be to plug ... more

Overview: I bought this monitor as part of a plan to upgrade my current build over a period of a few months, in order to enhance my PC gaming experience and generally to just gain a bit more real estate on my screen. I used to have an old 1024x768 CRT monitor, and I haven't looked back since, the Acer being superior in every single way. It is sharp, vibrant, responsive and easy to use, and I have completely fallen in love with it. If you purchase this monitor I promise you will not regret it. The Setup: As soon as I brought it home, hooked it up to my tower and turned everything on, the Acer ... more

After being advised by my optician that I would be better off with a flat screen monitor (less eyestrain) I took the plunge and went hunting for one. I spent hours trawling review sites and eBay, looking, checking and drooling over the widescreens, all of which seemed way out of my price range. I had £200 or so to spend, and was hoping for at least a good 17" TFT or maybe a 19" TFT. There are a lot of monitors out there, and eventually I had narrowed it down to this one. My main reason for choosing this one was my previous experience with setting up ACER laptops and I always admired their ... more
