Acer G226HQL 21.5-Inch Screen LED Monitor

No signs of dead pixels or other outright failure to display. All 2.1 megapixels are here, but are they good? Spoilers - not really. The backlighting differs between the top and bottom, colors are washed out and it looks white no matter how you adjust it. Even the ideal viewing angle seems different between the top and the bottom, and this is made worse by the lack of tilt and elevation features. Im not even a graphic designer and sometimes the quality just irritates me. Still, I bought this during a flash sale for 70$ - at that price I cant fault it, however at almost 100$ Id look at something else. And I kind of regret it at that price.

Excellent Monitor especially for the price! I have had no problem with this monitor in fact ive had one for a year now and i just bought another when I ordered my computer to build! These monitors side by side look great and perform great as well! I am hoping to get a Mount for my desk when i am able to and these will be able to mount because they have the VESA mounting spots on the back of the Monitor!

ACER packaging was what looked like an open box item with stickers or tape over original stickers and lots of messy tape/well worn box (as it had been repackaged and retaped). Amazon packaging very sloppy also. If it was open box, it should have been labeled and priced accordingly. To add insult to injury, monitor did not work out of the box. A waste of my time to repackage and send back

The good news, it came out of the box and was easy to install. Downhill from there. The stand is flimsy and wobbles - appears unstable. The screen is blurry and very bright/white. I have been search how to adjust the brightness, the instructions are terrible and I cannot find help online. I guess I got what a paid for! It is cheep and it is CHEEP. I will go blind looking at this screen! Dont buy it, spend a little more and get better quality.

This is an excellent monitor if youre looking for a desktop application. If youre searching for a gaming monitor then I would skip on this one. Why no complaints about the screen quality theres nothing is going to blow you away and I certainly wouldnt want to use it to watch the latest movies screen quality and Graphics is what Im into. But if youre looking for a solid monitor for your desktop computer then its hard to go wrong with an Acer product. PROS - excellent price in screen quality for a desktop application. CONS - if looking for a gaming or a movie monitor than I would look elsewhere.

No matter what I tried I could never get this monitor to have the crisp image that it should have had. It always seemed to be a little out of focus and looked like the contrast was cranked too high. I tried everything I could think of, including updating my video card drivers and nothing seemed to help. PLUS, after I would set the brightness and preference settings via the OSD ... and saved them ... after I rebooted it would be back to the original settings. Ive always had great luck with the Acer brand, until now.

Tried adjusting brightness and contrast, was unable to change enough for my liking, so I assumed it was bad. Exchanged monitor for another, and this one has the same problem, very washed out. Hands down the worst monitor Ive ever purchased, could have bought a paper white CRT VGA monitor and had better color. No clue how this has almost 5 stars.

This is a great monitor! Colors are vivid and accurate, definitely HD quality, and the 19.5" screen has dimensions equal to an HD TV, so watching movies through it is just like watching a small TV, meaning that a wide full screen movie has no black bars. Although the stand is a little too shaky, the only thing I absolutely despise about this monitor is it has two splash screens from a cold start, one advertising Acer followed by a second one for its "Energy Star Rating". The combination of those two will stay on the screen so long that my computer passes totally through the BIOS phase before dropping out, and there is no option for changing that. (I dont need to be reminded that its made by Acer, nor do I give a damn that its energy efficient! Its RIDICULOUS!) So in summary, if a 19.5" monitor is big enough for you (I dont want anything bigger), and if you can put up with its splash screens, I highly recommend this one. (Note: Try setting the brightness and contrast both to zero in the monitor then do the adjusting with your video drivers. I think youll find that is the best way to achieve personal settings.) Good luck!

This monitor is easy to install, looks good, and worked well until today-- when it went black. It wouldnt turn on at all. I managed to plug my Toshiba laptops power cord into it, and now it works-- but of course now Im without a powersource for my laptop. My other complaint about the monitor is minor: The blue led light on the bottom flashes super bright when the monitor is not in use and the computer (that its attached to) is asleep. It lights up the whole house while pulsating, and I think my neighbors might suspect Im looking for aliens. But possibly theres a way to turn that thing off, and even if not, its easy enough to turn off the power button on the monitor itself. This would get four or even five stars, except that the power cord broke so ridiculously soon. Three weeks is a very, very short time. Ill see whethdr I can get a replacement cord for it and Ill report back.

Decent monitor, blacks are a bit washed out. I have this paired with 2 same size LCD displays and you can see a big difference in brightness and contrast. Viewing angle is not great on the vertical, as it wants to be tilted back a bit, in my setup anyway.
