Although it is very bright, the Acer AL1912 has several very annoying characteristics that make it not worth owning.

The response time is too slow to watch movies with a lot of action, or to play any sort of fast game. You get a smeary picture. Even scrolling text up and down is annoying.

There is an unacceptable drift with temperature which causes the picture to drift to the side when it gets warm. There is a related moire pattern which you can’t correct with the clock adjustment. In some cases it goes out of sync and the picture jumps to the right, leaving one-third of the screen black.

If I’d known these things before, I never would have bought this monitor.

I’ve had this monitor for 3 years now and it has been a great monitor. I play games and movies and have not had a problem with response time. It has always worked great for me. No problems

Marcus,

Glad it worked out for you. It’s good when stuff “just works” It does appear that freddyzdead above got a bad monitor as those things should never happen on any monitor unless it is faulty.
