I thought the screen door effect only plagued PVA panels not IPS. Maybe you got a pva panel in the lottery. You know what you got, I'm more interested in knowing if ips panels also have screen door problems. Good Luck on the present panel with that border problem. Dan

The monitor we were takling about in that thread was an ACER X241W that was specd with a TN panel but some from Best Buy actually had an A-MVA panel that had much better viewing angles and better contrast and color. That was the one on close-out for $294 and up. Mine was $297. The other ACER...

Dear bigsnyder, Please forget and forgive the PVA statement in the previous post. I misread things because the eyes are blurry from reading all day. S Dan:rolleyes:

bigsnyder, I have no idea about the serial #. We are not talking about a PVA panel here. Read more of the postings. What I did find was that some were made using an A-MVA panel that has wider viewing angles than the TN panel the ACER X241W was specked with. This is easy to determine...

Since you are considering ACER quality or nonquality, look at an ACER X241W that uses an A-MVA panel. Best Buy is closing them out, at down/up to $294, and that is for a monitor that should cost $500 plus. The close-out is in store only. I mention this because I am using one in front of me...

You asked why the LCD panels are not made with glass. They are made with plastic now and an extra "protective" layer of glass would reduce brightness and contrast. Now somebody else can give me grief.

I too was looking at the Dells. I wanted good color above all else. I am not a gamer. I did not want to spend the 1100 to 1300 $ for the good IPS paneled NEC. That left the Dell and Samsung 245T. The Samsung is getting better technical reviews and can be found for $640 with shipping rebated...

Check the next one.

TechBoy, The ACER X241W is on closeout only IN the Best Buy stores. You may have to purchase the open stock/shelf display model if that is the last one in the store. You do have 14 days to return the unit if it looks unacceptable. There is a way to find if stores have things in stock from the...

OK gentlemen. I too purchased the BB Acer x241w because (1) The price was hard to turn down at $297 and (2) there was something special about the screen vewing angle that I knew was different. The viewing angle was easy to spot when all I have ever seen was TN LCD's. It was really easy to see...
