yup i have it,
its a great looking monitor, but unfortunately for me 19inch windscreen was a little restrictive, meaning it looks too small specially when compared to a standard non wide 19" screen. I would say a 20" normal would be better or a 24" wide screen, but its all up to personal taste i suppose.
having said that, i have not tried games on it so cant say if it performs well, but from reviews here it seem that it does not suffer from ghosting. Movies look great on it too.

i had a 17monitor next to it, and can tell you that for some strange reason the 17 crt looked larger even though it is not. anyhow even though it is VGA the picture is SHARP. I run it out of native resolution because the text was too small, and for non native it has good text quality too.

Cool cool, thanks for your advice. I'm always wary before spending the odd £200, being semi unemployed and all
Cheers
The Acer AL1916W is brilliant value monitor. Clear picture, no noticable ghosting, good at non native res, good clear video reproduction. Only downside is no DVi connection, but the vga is very good indeed. You`d need to pay a good deal more to beat it.
no problem, your welcome.
but any specific reason you want this monitor, i would personally recommend Samsung SM-920N. I dont have this specific model but rather the model before it, ie the model the sm 920 replaced and that is sm913n.
can tell you that the sm913 n compared to the accer looks a fair bit larger and also has a great screen, and the text is not too small either.
its really up to you, regardless of what you get hope you enjoy it.
