Is a widescreen 19in TFT thing, is this any good?

Iv bought one already, but im not sure if Acer is a good screen brand or not; am i gunna start getting deadys? should I return asap before it happens?=[

Ive had mine for almost 3 weeks and no dead pixels so far

Mine's great, much better than the 19" normal TFT I had before!

Gezzard · 4 May 2006 at 19:40

Had mine for a couple of months, no dead pixels or any other troubles for that matter.

Love it, oblivion and BF2 look luvvly. :eek:

Same here. I've got mine mounted to an Ergotron arm on the side of my desk so i can pull it up/down/sideways/90 degree angle, whatever. Lovely monitor. If you search the forum, you'll probably find a few threads of people's opinions on it, if they haven't been archived.

It's a great monitor (especially for the price!!)

I'm definately a widescreen convert now - I wouldn't go back.

Great monitor for the money.

Its not that great for gaming though. I Hate the motion blur which I'm not use to, having only just come from CRT.

pcknight · 6 May 2006 at 12:36

I never noticed any blur when i saw one of these TFT's in action but then again some people are more sensitive than others!

pcknight · 6 May 2006 at 12:50

I thought that the Acer looked like a great WS TFT. It has great reviews too.

When I first plugged it in I did notice it a little I have to admit. But after a few minutes I stopped seeing it. I can't see any blur at all now - maybe I would if I compared it side by side with my CRT again...

very please with mine. Cant adjust the stand tho, and imo DVD's look rubish on them.

Everything else is pretty good.

Motion blur? How fast is the monitor? Surely if its halfway decent this should have stopped being an issue two years ago?

you would think...

One thing I will say is I,ve used older samsung models with a so called "slower" response and it seemed to handle motion a lot better than mine.

I dont personally know enough about TFT to understand what the problem might actually be. Just what I've seen with my own eyes.

pcknight · 7 May 2006 at 14:20

Strange but i thought that you would not see any motion blurr!

wellibob · 7 May 2006 at 17:12

Cant say i notice any blurring on my Acer widescreen monitors (8ms). There just outstanding value LCD screens. Wouldnt look at anythink else im its price market.

pcknight · 7 May 2006 at 22:04

Great TFT for the price

djpipesfranco · 9 May 2006 at 14:05

Just got mine, get a lot of blur on virtual pool 3, especially on the red balls against the green.

Anyone else played vp3 on a tft?

first person shooters are fine as is the speeder bike chase on return of the jedi dvd!

seems to be just vp3

MeatLoaf · 9 May 2006 at 15:46

I play snooker 2005 on mine and get no blurring at all
