what do you guys think?

I don't know much about Acer do they make good go monitors

I consider them bottom of the barrel. That probably makes a lot of other so called value brand names below bottom of the barrel, or in other words "pure sh!t".

Well there is a Samsung SyncMaster 940N i could go for which costs more but it seems to have the same features like 700:1 contrast ratio, 8ms instead of 5ms with the acer one. So whats the difference is it just Samsung make better quality or what. I'll go for that if it offers better quality.

It seems my statement got mixed up a bit.

I stated that I considered Acer monitors to be bottom of the barrel.

There are various other less well known value oriented brand names and I consider those to be below bottom of the barrel or "Pure Sh!t".

Still, not a very flattering opinion of Acer.

In general, I have a low opinion of any monitor built around a TN panel. I admit that I recently bought a cheap TN panel monitor, but it will have a specific limited usage. Therefore, I figured it would be best to spend about $280 on a LCD monitor ($238 if I get my PayPal discount) rather than spending $600 - $1,200 which I normally would have done.
