Acer H236HLbid (UM.VH6AA.003)

Image quality is excellent. Contrast is excellent. Viewing angle of the IPS is excellent as expected. Response time is good. Unit is clean, ergonomic and the stand is sturdy. No dead pixels. My eyes are aging and contrast is a big deal for me. I...

Trivial, but wish the monitor had built in speakers. Acer makes it - same list price (the H236HLbmid), but can't find anyone that stocks it (incl. Newegg). The built ins are obviously not high quality, but the speakers in my Acer H213H are decent for...

Vibrant color ; Glossy finish ; Vividness ; Deep blacks ; Thin bezel

Glossy finish could be a con for some

This Acer h236hl bid IPS monitor is amazing ; It's an IPS display (picture quality and viewing angle is excellent) ; Only costs $169.99 for a vivid and stunning 23" monitor ; The stand is sturdy and high quality. (There is small paper clip-looking...

HDMI cables do not work well with this monitor. I tested the monitor with two different HDMI cords and the monitor looked like it had small lines when white was shown on the screen. Weird. The picture on the screen was also not stretched to the edges....

Glossy = crisp clear image. No hazy anti-glare coating here ; Cheap for an IPS panel ; 5ms response time is fast for an IPS ; Minimal backlight bleed ; Lightweight ; No tools required for assembly ; Generates very little heat ; Comes with DVI, VGA, and...

Basic stand that doesn't rotate or swivel ; No VESA mounting holes ; Image doesn't extend out to the edges of the bezel despite being marketed as a "zero frame" display

I ordered three of these monitors so that I would be able to run surround on my GTX 680. They get the job done just fine, and the color looks great ; The monitor comes with HDMI, DVI, and D-Sub cables, as well as the DC adapter and plug. The stand...

These are not cons, but I do have some thoughts below some people may consider cons

Bezel is amazingly small. The picture is beautiful

If you don't like glossy don't get this

IPS Panel ; Price point ; EXTREMELY thin Bezel ; Acer really stepped up their build quality ; dat der color quality ; pretty good 5ms for IPS ; All possible cables included

No Display port ; can't physically rotate screen verticel

I received my replacement monitor today. Screen uniformity is much better on this one. Not as warm color as the first one I received. IPS glow/bleed or whatever you want to call it is better. I'm satisfied and will be keeping this one

None

Arrived with no dead pixels, was packed sufficiently ; Easy to assemble ; Comes with all cables (input and power) ; Very bright whites and vivid colors ; Haven't noticed any ghosting in games so far ; Modern looking with thin bezel

Not a real con to me, but the screen is glossy ; Actual screen did not have plastic film on it, bezel did

Great looking display and slick bezel ; Solid packaging ; Comparatively low price ; IPS, 5ms response

Fairly glossy, may not be great if facing windows
