How is this 22inch ACER ?

i think this is the model that has been getting the top award in a few magazines here (australia)
 
I saw that this weekend and thought about it before buying my 2407.

The major gripe I had with it is that it looks really, really, cheap. It's just not visually aesthetic at all. One of the worst looking LCDs I've ever seen. I just wouldn't want it sitting on my desk.

I agree, part of what makes it cheap looking is its stand.
 
yeah the reviews said the stand was really flimsy and cheap... but how is the lcd itself! anyone have one?
 
i think it's got the same generic 5ms, 1000:1, TN panel like 80% of the 22" wides out there so I doubt you'll have many complaints about the picture.
 
In my opinion all 22"ers are pretty bad. The acer is not that much worse then the rest though.
 
top reviews? hah!

I own this one, and let me just say first you get what you pay for. When I first got one at Circuit City I set it up and it had 2 dead pixels and crazy back light bleeding. It also has a very limited viewing angle.

I took it back to exchange for another of the same model, thinking that last one was just a bad one. Nope, one dead pixel and back lighting bleeding was a little less but still bad. The viewing angle is gonna stay the same on all of them.

I didn't take this one back because a) I had already exchanged 2 times there in the same day, and b) I can live with this one because I use it as my secondary monitor in portrait mode, and all I do is browse and play music on it.

Sitting next to my 24in Acer, it pales in comparison. Acer's low end models are really quite dumpy. Stay away from this one if you are planning on using it as your main LCD or to game on it.

As for that one dead pixel, I just pushed my finger on it and its gone.

Are 20" that much better? I know everyone wants to say "get a 24 incher" but some of us can't go into the $500-600 range...

it depends on what you're looking for. many 22" monitors aren't bad at all. mainly the samsung 226BW and the HP w2207. but.... for around the same price (~$310 - 380), you can drop some size to a dell 2007WFP which has an S-PVA panel I believe. Also, you're really not losing anything except real screen size, because the resolution is the same.

How about the LG L226WT? I haven't heard much about that one...
 
I've had the AL2216WBD for months and it was a great buy. Can't understand why anyone would have a problem with the appearance.
 
Well, I just picked one up and there is a TON of backlight bleed compared to others I have looked at but there are no dead pixels so I'll give it a go for awhile...
