Acer AL2051Ws 20 inch LCD Monitor

Pros: Great picture, excellent price, physically looks nice, and biggest plus: P-MVA panel!
Cons: Glossy screen can be annoying at times, separate power brick, construction could be better.

I was out looking for a well rounded monitor to surf the web, watch movies, do some amateur photo editing, and play occasional games. I didn't want to spend more than $300 and I didn't want to buy one of those TN LCD panels. TN panels have the worst ...

Pros: Sharp, crisp, big and wide!
Cons: Glossy finish reflects light and shows fingerprints.

This is one SWEET monitor! Watch your friends jaws drop and their eyes turn green with envy when they get a look at this beauty on your desk. Note: This monitor DOES include built in speakers in the base. Other reviewers have falsely stated that it ...

Pros: Brite screen coating & image comparable to more expensive NEC
Cons: 7/8" wide bezel (1/2" or less preferable for dual desktop setup).

Perfectionists & best value seekers will appreciate these monitors. Made myself crazy visiting every retail store, reading website reviews and finally narrowed my search for 2 new desktop displays to Dell E207FP at $289 each from Costco.com and the ...

Pros: Price, fantastic image, attractive design.
Cons: No USB ports

To replace my recently departed 17" CRT monitor, I had been searching for an LCD for several weeks.. The choices are nothing short of overwhelming with a hundred different brands, all with a hundred different models and a hundred different specs to ...

Pros: Price -- Image quality -- Low Center of gravity (less wobble) -- Cables included
Cons: Emits many noises -- No printed manual -- No driver software in box

I own the Acer AL2051W at home and I have one at work (where the monitor constantly remains on 24 hours a day, 7 days per week), and I have read other user reviews so I want to confirm and expand on what others have mentioned. PROS: - ...

Pros: Cheap, high quality, slimline (no bits sticking out) Reliable
Cons: Sometimes picture looses alignment - press autosynch to fix.

I have had 2 of these monitors for three months now, the 24" and the 20". Both are excellent and were the cheapest LCD options available. Despite this, the picture is excellent and there is absolultely nothing to complain about. The design is neutral, nothing special but not ugly. I think Acer has taken a sensible minimalistic approach to what functionality to include. The basics are there though, but for example it has no speakers built in. (I think this is a plus - I prefer free-standing speakers anyway. One less component that can break and cause trouble...) The input is VGA as opposed to the newer DVI - this is NOT a problem. If you happen to have a graphics card with only DVI, just buy a converter or a converter cable.
All in all I can recommend this monitor as excellent value for money without any reservations. I live in the UK and got mine from overclockers.co.uk.
