broke after 1 year

 

Lots of movement ; Clear Picture

1 dead pixel ; Suddenly stopped getting power after nearly a year. Tried multiple cables and even the same cable it was with worked with other monitors

Dual monitors

 

MB: Fatal1ty Z68 PRO GEN3 CPU: INTEL I5K 3.3ghz Mem: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb GPU: XFX ATI-6970 Pwr: SeaSonic X-850 Case: Silverstone PS06 LCD: Acer B243HL x2 Going for 3rd LCD

Brightest screen I have ever used. Coordinates with the first LCD. Response time is fast with no ghosting. Played Dark Knight and the blacks look good. Best monitor stand out there, "wonder if they charge more it?" Model series 'B' preferred by...

Since it has been a few months using the first LCD the newly purchased LCD looks brighter. I have to turn down all contrast and brightness so I don't go blind. Also I don't know if this effects everyone but the text at 1080 is too small so I enlarge...

Works great a year later

 

I bought this monitor for the swivel/pivot features - I have it oriented so it's taller than it is wide. No problems with it

It does take a few seconds to fire up. Nothing you'll lose sleep over though

Newegg messed up bigtime

 

I don't know, they sent me the wrong monitor

First of all this review is mostly towards newegg and not the product. I ordered this along with all the other components for a new gaming computer. When it finally arrived the first thing I noticed was the box was ripped all over and taped together....

Acer B243H AJbdr Black 24" 2ms Height,Swivel,Pivot & Tilt Adjustable Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ACM 80000:1(1000:1)

 

this probably is a refurbished machine as I felt when opening the box and also the darkness in the upper corners;

big; cheap; can rotate

big, kinda blurry, display effects significantly worse than Acer X233H (my older screen); not worth it unless you wanna play with Newegg.com's return policy....; the display effect is even worse when rotated

Dead Pixel Follow Up

 

It has been a 4-day pain-in-the-tail getting ACER to comprehend its exposure and to agree to repair or replace free of charge. I now will discover whether ACER can live up to its claimed 7-10 day turn-around after it receives my monitor.

Today, after finally reaching an ACER voice team supervisor through 1-800-571-2237 (but first being bothered with reinventing the wheel with a level one guy), and making a very real threat of a lawsuit predicated on the theory that ACER could not...

Later in the day, after returning home from shipping the monitor, I noticed another ACER email had arrived stating "our technicians will check whether it qualifies the pixel policy...

Great Psu

 

The individual pixels don't rotate with the screen, so sub-pixel font rendering doesn't work well when this monitor is rotated 90 degrees relative to another monitor with the same pixel orientation. Oh well.

The range of motion of this monitor is exactly as advertised, and the picture quality is amazing. It looks much better when placed in portrait mode than any other monitor with which I've done the same. The base is very sturdy; this thing's not going...

It's heavy, it's hot, and it makes my 23" Acer look like garbage. My only real concern is power consumption - but if that were enough to drop an egg, I wouldn't be driving it with Fermi technology

Consumer review by:

Pretty Good monitor for the price.

 

If it were a solo, primary monitor I think it would do the job well. That being said, IMHO ASUS makes better monitors at similar prices.

I have it set up in portrait mode as a second monitor, which was very easy with the locking mechanism on the back of the monitor which allows you to spin the screen on it's stand

The monitor quality isn't STELLAR, but that's what you get for this price ; I have it setup in portrait mode, so the problems of LCD monitors when viewed from low (brightens) or high (darkens) angles becomes a problem when viewed from sharp left...

STAY AWAY FROM ACER

 

This cost our company Thousands, it also took over 3 weeks to get the units repaired and sent back, Oh, and WE have to pay shipping back to them for repair. No, we did not buy these on Newegg but I am a big newegg customer and wanted to make people...

It did turn on out of the box

we have purchased around 40 of the Acer 24" monitors in a large bulk order a few months ago. Over 50% of them have gone bad within the first 2 months. Yellowing in the lower right hand corner

Consumer review by:

Superb!

 

Great monitor ; Traditional mounting hardware (100 cm I believe) facilitates use with dual monitor brackets. Many monitors today do not permit this ; The resolution is terrific. The appearance is solid and very professional-looking ; I am not a graphic...
