Ive got one had it for about 2 months now.
Positive -
Value , Bright screen Got mine set to only 25 on brightness , No dead pixels and very little backlight bleed. Make sure you set everything to 1440x900 windows looks very nice in widescreen and cleartype fonts enabled DPI at 120%.
If the game doest support 1440x900 then its scales adjusts the screen to fit which it does quite well.
Negatives- Lack of DVI socket , which aint too much of a problem as the difference between VGA and DVI is minimal - But if i do want to use the monitor on something like a Xbox360 then i would have to find some sort of switch box( any reccomendations ) or swap cables everytime.
DVDs can look abit grainy this is because dvds are actually half the res of the monitor , perfectly acceptable if your not a perfectionist ( but i got round this by running a program called FDDshow/media player classic and doubling the resolution and running cleaning filters - DVDs look great now.
The Stand doest do height adjust just a poor tilt funtion ( you can buy 3rd party clamps/stand or wall mount - got mine sitting on two layers of DVD cases and its fine.
Overall for the price - which includes 3 year warranty and performance if your on a budget i would reccomend it - look at the viewsonic 19inch range which is also 8ms response but also has DVI ( costs little bit more) , But im very happy with my Acer Widescreen
