Acer P244W Review

Acer's budget 24 incher doesn't quite pop with color, but it redeems itself with price and video performance.

Acer P244W Bii

There is real value in seeing live comparisons of monitors you are considering purchasing and there is a case here for requesting a live demo of the Acer P244W Bii before you part with your money. There is no question of its ability to provide you with...

Acer P244w

Acer's native-1080p display wins points for hitting the widescreen 16:9 formfactor, but the P244w treats its colors with the same unpleasantness it treats its grayscales. The monitor's color saturation suffers from a reduced range on both the top and...

Native-1080p support; acceptable grayscale detail

No height adjustment, component inputs; too-bright blacks, reduced color saturation range

Start saving your phone books: You can’t adjust the height of this display. And we dislike how the display’s presets don’t appear to vary the image quality very much at all. The P244w’s list of connections—DVI, VGA, and HDMI—lacks the component option...

Warning

I loved this monitor until I tried to hook it up with a few Gigibyte H55 MBs via HDMI. Utter fail. Will not wake from sleep with picture. Will not boot with picture unless monitor s rebooted. This is only true with HDMI. D-Sub functions flawlessly. The...

Awesome 1080p

Bought this as an open item from NewEgg. The disclaimer warns that it won't come with any of the accessories. Maybe I was just lucky, but I got all the accessories and saved some money. YMMV. I had a hard time deciding between this and the 24" ASUS. I...

Awesome at 1080p resolution. Screen is sharp, clear, and even looks good at lower resolutions, though I'll be leaving it at 1920x1080 except when my gfx card can't handle it for some games. It doesn't have speakers on it, which is great. I never would...

The touch-sensitive buttons to make adjustments are difficult to use. You have to poke at them a little bit to get them to do anything, and the menu is a little slow. It's a pain now as I'm calibrating it, but once everything is set, I won't be pushing...

Not Great - Not Bad

I bought 3 of these at another store due to it's discounted price and apparently great feature set. However, I am now regretting my purchase but am not terribly unhappy. These are nice monitors for a basic user. Serious movie buffs look elsewhere!

Really impressive out of the box. Shiny piano finish looks sharp. This model does not include HDMI inputs, but I do not need the HDMI inputs so I was able to buy this one for much cheaper than the one that had them. Works good for just about...

When you are watching a movie or a streaming video, such as a live baseball game, and there is camera motion, the screen seems to split horizontally across the middle with the two halves not refreshing at the same rate. I have also notice the same...

Amazing

I had my mom by this for her work because her monitor before lacked color and was just to small. This was a great buy. Thank you Newegg.

Beautiful display, great price, flawless. No dead pixels at all

Beautiful Display!!!

On average brightness, and watching a movies, the bright edges (which are present in all LCD monitors) can be see on the top and bottom but it's not very bad and I don't think anyone else notices. My system: AMD 2.4ghz o/c to 2.9ghz DFI Landparty UT...

I was amazed with how nice a picture this screen can make. I see a lot more detail just on my desktop. I've collected a bunch of HD Wallpapers now and this thing makes them so pretty. Running this next to my 3 year old 19' Viewsonic there is a huge...

Not really a con, but my first one died on me 2 weeks after I got it. Only way to describe it was that it was freezing. The ACER logo on start up would last 5 seconds instead of 2 and you could see it changing frames. Changing the resolution took a...
