Acer p191w

 

Acer's p191w 19-inch wide-screen LCD is a no-frills display that lacks speakers and HDCP-compliance, however it compensates for the absent features with solid performance. It has a suggested retail price of $270, but with 22-inch wide-screen displays...

Attractive looks; selectable preset image quality settings; solid overall performance.

No speakers; no HDMI input; no HDCP support for protected HD movies; too expensive at suggested retail price.

We wouldn't pay more than $200 or so for any 19-inch LCD, but if you need a smaller screen and can find Acer's p191w for that price, we'd recommend it. It's a basic display with no speakers or HDCP-support, but its image quality and sleek design make...

"Good Monitor for the price"

 

I still like the CRT monitors, but the days of the CRT are gone. This is one of the wide screens that come close to the sharpness of a CRT.

When looking at text, the letters are very clear not like 95% of the monitors out there. If you eye sight is good enough to count the pixels you will see a very striking difference. I paid about $100 for the monitor and found it to preform better than mos

The buttons are very poor. It is very difficult to set up the monitor. The on /off switch will not work any more. If I did not use a power strip, I would of tossed the monitor out. With luck you will only use the switches once.

"Disappointed failed in six weeks red vertical lines"

 

If it did not fail it would be considered an average no frills moitor that performed well for six weeks.

None it is a basic monitor with basic controls.

The warranty process is extremely difficult and you have to pay the costs to ship the product to Texas. No local repair centers.

Great monitor for the price!

 

Bought this monitor to replace a 19 in. CRT. All the reviews I read were favorable and the price could not be beat. I am very happy with this purchase and would buy again if needed. I have had to tweak the system to get a good text display as it seemed...

Easy set up, comes with both VGA and DVI cables, 1440 x 900 native resolution @ 60 Hz

no printed guide to OSD operation, text was not as clear as I liked to begin with, but after tweaking, it is good
