Very pleased!! 
2008-07-31
Considering I am not a computer geek. This product was very easy to install & it seems to work fine. I could have paid a hundred bucks more for a fancier unit but I am not at the computer much. Color & quality seem fine. I would recommend 100%.
No Sound!

I like the screen and overall preformance of the Monitor. I did not do my home work, I have no sound. No way to plug speakers in.
Excellent monitor for a macbook 2008-07-12
After searching the internet and reading reviews on various websites, I decided to get this monitor.
I bought it to use in "extended desktop" mode with my 13" Macbook. I also bought the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter. The monitor comes with both a VGA and a DVI cable, which saves the expense of having to buy one in addition to buying a monitor.
The bottom line: I plugged everything in and it works! The Macbook recognized the display immediately and automatically set the resolution.
Color is bright and clear. Text is sharp. Graphics look great. NO DEAD OR STUCK PIXELS!
Physical setup was a breeze also. I read on some reviews that the stand was hard to get on, and wouldn't come off once it was put on. I do have an engineering degree, but it was very easy to put the stand on; and it will come off easily. It is held in place with two "dog-ear" style tabs accessible from the bottom. Just bend the tabs in, and off comes the stand!
I also tested the monitor with an Acer laptop running Windows Vista basic and the VGA cable; and it worked great with that, too.
This is a great monitor.
High quality monitor at a great price 2008-07-08
This monitor works GREAT! Widescreen 16x10 display, max resolution at 1680x1050. The anti-reflective coating works awesome and does its job well. The monitor comes with a DVI cable, a VGA cable, and a DVI-to-VGA adapter, and the monitor has ports for both DVI and VGA. The power cable is detachable, making it easier for transport. And it's at a great price. I've owned this monitor for almost a year now with no issues. It's taken a bit of a beating, and there are no dead pixels on it yet.
The only complaint that I have is that the snap-in platform does not snap off easily. I like to keep my monitor boxes for easy transport in case I need to move my computer around, but the monitor stand is too big to allow for the monitor to be placed back into the box. I resorted to wrapping the monitor in some towels and carrying it by hand. A minor complaint overall.
Apparent quality control problem 
2008-06-29
Acer monitor I ordered arrived Dead on Arrival, with a bright-white dead pixel so visible right in the center of the monitor. How could a quality inspector have missed such an obvious defect? I'm returning it. This monitor also looks and feels cheap, compared to much more sophisticated design of Samsung monitors, which are only slightly more expensive. I'm going to stay away from Acer from now on.
Soooo Happy 2008-06-13

I'm very pleased with this monitor. Plugged it in, booted the computer and it works. Settings take a little practice, but overall very easy.
Works Great Right Out of the Box with No Problems & Looks Great 2008-02-24
I purchased this Acer monitor for my MacBook so I had to get a mini-DVI to DVI adaptor which was not a problem. The product description does not mention it comes with both a DVI and VGA cable.
It is actually 1680 x 1050 though the title says 1600. When I purchased a couple of days ago (February 17, 2008) it was sold through Amazon and had free shipping but for some reason I see now it is sold through another vendor that is charging shipping but the price is still good. I paid $199 total.
When you look in the manuals that come with it there is about a page and a half of instructions, though the manuals are larger because of all the different languages. It it so easy to set up and use, nothing more is required.
It is nice to open a product and just plug it in and have it work great right off the bat.
The picture of the item on Amazon seems to make it look like it has a white or gray frame even though it is listed as black. It is all black. And with my white MacBook including white wireless keyboard and mouse, it is fine. The black front frame just make the image that more intense.
I am happy with this purchase. It even has a 3 year warranty which is pretty impressive for any items and especially a computer item.
Second one and still love this product 2008-02-08
Not much more to say. I highly recommend this product. It has great resolution, great price. If I had to say something critical it would be that I can't seem to get it to render the resolution I want under Ubuntu (note that is an unsupported configuration), but that's more of an Ubuntu or Linux configuration problem. My windows boxes all work wonderfully and as advertised.
Great for the price. 2007-12-31
I have had this unit for several months. Does great with xbox games and every day computer stuff.
