Acer S243HL review: Acer S243HL

Acer S243HL

The Acer S243Hl has a unique aesthetic; has two HDMI ports.

The Acer S243HL has a dim screen and a high black level that adversely affects its color accuracy; no DVI port.

The Acer SL243HL is a great-looking monitor with drab colors that leave a lot to be desired.

Acer S243HL

The Acer S243HL offers 24-inches of screen real estate, a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels and a 2ms response time

An aggressively priced LCD screen that’s supremely capable in the visual department. An exceptional value-buy.

Acer have combined industrial style with difficult usability with this 24-inch monitor

Slim screen ; Nice looking design

Wobbly stand ; Tilt could be better

Acer S243HL review

With a striking design this could well be the future look for all monitors

Nice design ; Two HDMI ports ; Full HD resolution

White balance a bit off ; No DVI

The nice design and good picture quality mean you can't go far wrong with this LCD monitor

Acer S243HL review

While most monitors look roughly similar, Acer has taken a little time to design the stunning-looking 24in Full HD (1,920x1,080) S243HL. Instead of having ports on the back of the screen, the S243HL's screen is attached to an L-shaped stand that houses...

It looks stunning and the two HDMI ports are welcome, but you can get better image quality for less

Awesomely crisp colors and images, blacks are very deep and bright colors pop out ; no blurry/streaky images ; speakers are LOUD for their size and don't sound too bad considering

none so far, a top notch product

The low power consumption is awesome!

I do not have any complaints about the color like some of the others do on here. Maybe I'm just not that picky about color and don't really notice any issues. Then again, I'm not a graphics professional so maybe it does have these issues and I just...

I've owned and used this monitor for about 7 months ; Very low power consumption. This was a replacement for an 6 year old Dell 24 inch monitor that used 42W of power with the brightness turned down as low as it would go ; Power consumption of this...

A DVI port would be nice, but I knew this when I purchased it
