I love my philips lcd TV so when my game loving boyfriend wanted a new monitor we thought we'd get one to match having been so pleased with the TV, so off we went to PC world and told the salesman we'd prefer a philips monitor similar to the TV, they had a few in the range but this is the one he managed to sell us, it has good picture quality and is widescreen, perfect for my boyfriends war games, it can also be used as a TV, which is handy if space ...
...of the features on this monitor which makes it stand apart from the rest is that it can "pivot" you can use the monitor in landscape as normal or if you so wish use it in portrait, the advantage of viewing the screen in portrait is that you can read more of word documents and see more of web pages without having to scroll down so much, it comes with a pivot cd-ROM so you can set this up, I would recommend putting it on even if you don't wish to use ...

Advantages: Looks
Disadvantages: Actualy quality of the product

Having owned this monitor for around 6 months, and with no reviews wrote on it so far, I feel it needs one. Personally, I have always liked this screen. It is definatly a massive improvement on my old big Screen. It looks stunning on your desk, and the picture always looked fine, espeically on quick moving action, say I if I were streaming live sport for example! However, it didnt wow me as much as I wouldve hoped considering the price I paid, ...
...equipment instantly writed it off and claimed it was a shocking monitor considering the price. Having looked further into this, I can see see why - tests done on the screen show that the color fidelity is shockingly bad, for example one result is that they are totally off. With default settings the average difference is 7.8 and this is one of the worst measurements we've taken in the last few years. Not a single color is well rendered! In general, ... Read review

Disadvantages: for this price not point to be to picky

...mount it on a wall. Acer has an analogue (VGA) signal input. Acer compliant following standards:- ISO 13406-2, TCO '99 Display Resolution as we know is an important issue in monitors, because as higher it is as more specific picture can be, more thinks can be displayed at the same time and so on. This one offers maximum of 1680 x 1050 pixels which is good enough for standard use +. Brightness is 300 cd/m2 and it is a weak point but not crucial. ...
...watch, TV or DVD. Acer offers good quality for reasonable price. It is good but obviously not the best one like other top shelf more expensive monitors. I can recommend it for its price and quality it offers, simplicity, design and size. Please rate my review and leave comment possibly. Thank you. ... Read review

Advantages: Quality. pure and simple.
Disadvantages: No HDMI, or wall obvious wall mounting options

When I bought this from PC World, I mistook the HDCP badge on the front to mean HDMI, so I was initially disappointed when I got it home. since it has only vga and dvi. Once I switched it on, I was no longer disappointed. using a HDMI to DVI cable (from sainsburys, so not rare) I connected it to my xbox360 and watched a HD-DVD at 1080p. pin sharp and better than my 32". I forgot all about returning it, and remain pleased with it 2 months later. ...
...back. I think it can be done, but not using my current wall mount. Games look great. and as a PC monitor, it is, well, beautiful. as well as the huge 1920 resolution, it has a pin sharp display, with text easily readable at default font sizes. It is quite thick compared to my 22" monitor, probably around 4" at the widest point, but it still looks very good, with a shiny black finish. I was considering a cheaper 24" make than this, but they couldnt ... Read review
