A Great Monitor .......2006-12-21

This monitor that I have now is great.The grafics are great when playing Battlefield 2 and Empire Earth. It's also great for watching videos and it has never broke down on me. This monitor is for someone who plays games and watches videos on Youtube and yet doesn't want to pay for the $800 Plasma Monitor that can do everyting.All in all, this is one fantastic monitor.

Decent Monitor - No Trouble so Far.......2006-11-28

I've had my al1914 for 11 months. My wife picked it up for me so it wasn't my first pick. So I had doubts about it from the beginning.

I use it at least 2-5 hours a day every day. And so far it has yet to disappoint me. It does auto adjust when it initially turns on but I almost never see it happen. The image is crisp; colors appear to be nearly perfect and the screen size is awesome.

This is definitely not the best quality monitor on the market but for the price it was perfect for me.

Over a Year Later - I'm still happy with it.......2006-05-17

Huh?!?!?!?! I don't get all the negative reviews from so many others about this product. I've had this monitor for over a year and I absolutely LOVE IT! Now I don't know what kind of video card and connection others are using but I am using an ATI 9800 Pro and have the monitor hooked into the DVI Digital Output instead of the standard VGA which is analog. I don't think that really matters though - I mean hooked my Xbox 360 up to the standard VGA port a little while ago and the picture was awesome.
I'm not discounting anyone else's opinion of the product by any means because maybe theirs came from a bad batch or something, but just so others can hear a positive review from someone that has been very happy with their purchase for a while now! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the speakers on the monitor are a little weak, but that's really to be expected isn't it...

Poor visual quality.......2006-04-25

Broad vertical dark bands, uneven colors, auto-focuses every time it powers up (thus getting rid of your attempts to fix the image), shimmers from time to time. I've tried this for a week and am returning it. Worst monitor I've ever used.

Random Backlight Failure.......2006-04-19

I purchased this monitor after shopping around for a good deal on a 19" LCD. What a mistake. The backlight will periodically fail, the first time it happened I sent it in for warranty repair. It came back working, and I was momentarily glad that the rumors I'd heard about Acer tech support didn't turn out to be true in my case.

The second time it happened I got suspicious. I wanted to call acer tech support and talk to someone. I managed to find their mysterious phone number from a google cache and called them. It turns out they didn't DO anything when they received it. They opened it up, turned it on, and it worked so they sent it back. Of course, they don't tell you they did nothing.

Acer has been awful to deal with, they treat their customers like rubbish, and have a miserable repair facility to match their products. Don't buy this monitor!

Now when the backlight fails, I have to leave it unplugged overnight and it works the next day. Acer will not replace it because the problem doesn't occur when they have it.
