Acer G226HQLHBD 21.5-inch Monitor 16:9 FHD 8 ms 100M:1 A 250 nits VA LED DVI w/HDCP Acer EcoDisplay

This is hands down the BEST monitor I have ever come across for this price (I build, install and maintain computer systems for a living). You cannot go wrong with this unit, great colour and input selection, if you need a cheap full 1080p monitor BUY THIS ONE - you will not find a better one for the same money, trust me - I spent weeks trying.

Monitor is very thin, and looks great so far, it also came with a MATTE SCREEN, which seems to be impossible to find these days and is great for anyone who isn't interested in buying a 100 quid desk mounted mirror. Don't know why this isn't advertised in large bold flashing letters, but it was a nice surprise.

Bought 2 of these Monitors for my Sons. One Son already has one & wants to pair it up with the new one so he can have 2 screens running at the same time. He was so impressed with the first one that it was a no-brainer really to get another for him. My other Son has just got a Gaming Computer & it also seemed logical to get the same Monitor for him. Well impressed.

A beautiful crisp, clear picture, a matte screen, and it doesn't break the bank (in fact, I got it for �83, I see the price has gone up!). I bought this for my son but I'm sorely tempted to buy one for myself.

Unfortunately, I was forced to buy another monitor as my trusty Samsung T200 was not compatible with my new Zoostorm PC.
Everything was stretched, left to right - this was especially obvious with circles, which appeared egg-shaped!
(And yes, I tried everything, including changing umpteen settings and many e-mails to/from Zoostorm and Samsung, without finding a solution, even via Google...)

The Acer monitor was reasonably priced and, as always, arrived promptly and well-packed - well done Amazon!

It is certainly not as attractive looking as the Samsung - and the instructions are absolute rubbish!!

But the resolution is OK and circles are circular!! Also, it is very light, so would sit happily on a desktop (i.e. horizontal) PC, which saves space and brings it up to a better height, also.

One piece of advice: The stand IS adjustable to tip the screen backwards and forwards (15 and 5 degrees, respectively, I think). But it is VERY stiff, so not easy to do - and not recommended to do it with the monitor attached!

Overall, this is OK for the price; does the job, but nothing special, I would say.

Easy to set up, worked straight from the box. A great value monitor, does the job perfectly at a low price.

This monitor has a very good resolution for HD displays and has a matte screen which prevents reflections! Perfect for my new build!

It said it had a hdmi but didn't, so I had to buy a converter, thus the description was misleading

The monitor itself is great, brilliant visuals and nice stand etc. Although me personally I bought this to use with my xbox, upon realising you will need an adaptor to use with a console, so after buying 2 different components to make this set-up work I still had sound problems from my headset and this was due to the TV but I couldn't locate the exact problem therefore it resulted in me sending back the item for a refund. So if you want this as a pc monitor then it will be brilliant, although console use you WILL need a DVI/VGA-HDMI adapter

It was bought for my son it does what it says on the tin he is very pleased with it. I haven't heard any complaints
