No dead pixels, nice vibrant colors (after some tweaking), no complaints. It's connected to an iBook 12' laptop which supports only up to 1024x768, and though Acer recommends using the monitor at 1280x960 for best results, I'm happy with the image it gives.

My 21" Nokia CRT finally gave out last week and I ordered up two of these Acer AL1912 LCD's to run off of my dual head video card. I checked around for a straight replacement for my old 21" but found the price on an equal monitor had actually gone up. I noticed the Acer LCD on sale for just over 3 bills and figured two would make a great replacement and give me a little more desktop real estate to work with.

After setup, I measured the new 19" LCD and the old 21" screens to compare and found the actual viewable size was only 3/4" smaller! Though max resolution is 1280 x 1024 on the LCD, I only notice a small difference, the addition of the 2nd flat panel though yeilded a great deal of welcome new space. The new LCD has a very nice bright and vivid display and after installing the driver, I was able to update the refresh frequency to 75hz and play my favorite first person shooter (counterstrike source).

Games are always the toughest test for any computer system so a component that can game well, will definately do great on any desktop application like photo editing, or web browsing. I noticed while browsing a couple sites, the white background of pages was so bright it was actually too much so I cranked the brightness down to 50%. The display stand and case have a nice black design that is compact compared to its equal CRT counterpart and compliment my black computer case and keyboard. The shelf on my desk that the CRT monitor used to sit on had a sag of about 1" that leveled back out after its removal and replacement of the new LCD. The more compact LCD also takes up much less space on my desk so I have room for more junk food and empty coke cans... what a great bonus :)

I thought this monitor would be too good to be true for the price. It is fast, clear and I have not touched a control since getting it out of the box. It has been a joy to play video games on. Its footprint is tiny and I really enjoy the increased desk space. The screen geometry seems perfect. I am using 1280 by 1024 resolution and have no problem seeing anything and I have "over 40" eye sight. I had to clean it and just used a dry cotton towel and it removed the dust in one pass. It then looked perfect again. It looks like it was made for my Dell CPU.

it's inexpensive, so you shouldn't expect it to do great things. but the 16ms is still fast enough for fast motion scene for your dvd or the games that you play. I do notice that it doesn't display "dark" areas well. black tends to become real dark, so it's hard to see if you are watching a movie of a thief walking in the dark, it will be very hard to see him. that said, I am fine with everyhting else. I wwent from a 17" CRT to 19" LCD, and the difference is huge! referred by WhoSave.com, who knows it's probably much cheaper than what I paid for it, can't imagine what it will be like to have a 21" in a few years.

I was a little worried about buying a monitor unseen, but reviews on other sites were very good. Some LCD monitors that I have seen do not display text very well. This one does great. Overall, a great value.
