Outstanding Value! Great Platform! by Sammy G on bhphotovideo.com Jan 12, 2012
This monitor is priced right and has a beautiful screen with great resolution! The VESA mount on the back of this 17: monitor is ideal for mounting an ASUS Eee PC or swing arm wall mount! It was a perfect foot print for creating a fleet of training PCs ...
 
Great replacement! by JoPfef on tigerdirect.com Jun 28, 2011
Bought this for a friend of mine who had a nasty old-fashioned monitor -- and wanted a square screen on his new flat panel. Couldn't convince him to go with a wide-screen, so purchased this for him. He is as happy as can be! Beautiful color, crisp images, ...

My first flat screen and I'm thrilled by C. D. Jones on amazon.com Oct 21, 2009
I had to upgrade computer and network to old computer, so my small home office was starting to get crowded, and my desk was starting to be weighted down in the middle where my 1992 purchase, Sony Trinitron CRT monitor, sat, so with a little research, ...
 
A great buy for what I needed by tactsman on buy.com Sep 17, 2009
I purchased this monitor to replace a dead 17" CRT for a customer with a low-end IBM desktop. The applications that they use are not high-res so I can't speak to how well it works for graphics-intensive apps. It was easy to install, looks good, and ...

Big Disappointment by al5palms on tigerdirect.com May 10, 2011
Monitor will not perform at claimed resolution. Manual was probably written in Chinese and then converted to other languages by non-English speakers and is almost impossible to understand by home users. Cannot set Brightness, Contrast, etc, according ...
 
Acer LCD - VGA Only by J. Taylor on amazon.com Apr 15, 2009
I'll update this review when I can actually use this monitor -- but be aware if you have a very new system, that this monitor only comes with an old analog style VGA monitor cord. If your video card outputs with a DVI connection you are SOL and will need ...
 
It clearly states "integrated speakers", Nope! by RemE14MZ on bestbuy.com Feb 3, 2011
I specifically searched for this sized monitor with integrated speakers. Found it here, ordered it and when it arrived, no speakers! What a royal pain to then have to go thru the return process.

Too Bright by SeedLeecher on newegg.com Feb 23, 2009
