I'm looking for help choosing a 20". How come TH readers don't reply to threads of buyers looking for a 20" or 22" monitor? :-/

Out of your choices, I would choose the Acer for the reason you can find reviews on it. Look at the newegg site. The Acers with the X200 series have decent reviews so there is a good chance you'll be satisfied with the monitor. Also, it appears it has better specs than the Sceptre.

I'd go with a computer brand name, also. I have no idea about Sceptre products.

Your links do not work. They are probably too long to be directly pasted into a quick reply post.

You need to click the reply button, then use the "link icon" so that you can paste in a long link.

Acer and Sceptre are both considered 2nd tier manufacturer / brand name. If unsure, then just read the user reviews. I would choose neither 'cause I generally buy more higher end stuff.
