Acer V173B 17" LCD Monitor
I bought this monitor to replace a 15 inch Dell Trinitron that started popping and smoking one afternoon last month. I take a lot of digital pictures in my work and for pleasure. Color fidelity isn't a life or death issue but I appreciated how well the Trinitron did its job.
So, I had some apprehension about buying this monitor but the price made the decision easy. I haven't seen a better deal anywhere. I was very pleased to find that the color and resolution of this monitor sati...

Very Satisfied, some suggestions
I have had this monitor for about a month and I am very happy with my purchase. I am running Windows XP on a six year old Gateway computer. I received the monitor in just two days. I would recommend this monitor for anyone who wants an LCD for an analog connection.
The following is for those individuals who find the size of text too small at a high resolution. At first, I tried different resolutions to make the text bigger via Display Properties (right click the desktop, choose pr...

Great bang for the buck
I rated this monitor 5 stars because of the bang for the buck.
Pros:
Sharp
Great price
Very bright
Great refresh rate
Cons:
Does seem a little small if you have been on a 24inch iMac but what doesn't?
Review:
I bought this monitor for our backup computer which is an old Gateway PC running Ubuntu (free computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux). The old CRT monitor was over 10 years old and was fading into...

good value
Pros: excellent picture, fast refresh, compact size, very little heat generation, wide viewing angles, looks nice.
Cons: have run it near constantly for a month playing games and surfing with no problems yet so it may have none :)

I've never really seen it, but ....
I purchased this for my 78 year old mother to replace her old, CRT monitor. I purchased it 1.) for the low, low price 2.) on the basis of two positive customer reviews. Exceeding all possible expectations, the monitor arrived in her home within two business days -- free freight. She hooked it up by herself and is babblingly ecstatic with the results. ("I don't even have to use my glasses to read it!!")

Acer LCD - VGA Only
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 an adapter.
In this case, I wanted a smallish flatscreen to use on my main desk with an older Powerbook G4, so I can get some use out of it when I'm not traveling. The 12" Powerbooks have a mini-DVI output and while the laptop include...

Nice monitor
This is an excellent buy for the money and purpose of our home computer. There are no internal speakers so be prepared to buy those separately, but we got the Logitech S120 2.0 Multimedia Speakers for around $12 and they work great for our use. Have always had good experiences with Acer brands.

good screen, decent stand
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I agree with all the reviewers who say this is a great screen at a great price. I like that's it's relatively square, rather than widescreen (with all the resulting resolution-adjustment issues).
What I didn't realize before I got the monitor and set it up and used it for a few days was how important the stand is in any monitor. The stand for this monitor is heavy plastic, non-heigh...

Good Monitor for the Price
The color is good, it's a little small, but a great bargain. Installation was easy, I have no complaints.

Good no great value for my money
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Easy to set up, clear images, bright colors and finally I have a monitor I can move around without hurting myself and I can actually work off my computer desk with all the extra room.
