Update: There have been two comments about the slow response speed of this monitor. It’s quite dated now, so best avoid it and choose something a little more recent. There are plenty of alternatives.

This is one of the best value 19inch LCD monitors I have seen. Although it is now easier to find cheap computer monitors and especially cheap flat panel computer monitors, this is still a good find.

It features a full 19inch viewable area, which is perfect for anyone doing application that require this kind of area like designers, or anyone who just likes things big.

The maximum screen resolution of 1280×1024 is reasonable for this size of screen. Although I would expect it to be able to support up to 1600×1200 the size it will go up to should be enough to fit large amounts of data onscreen, while not becoming too small.

The monitor itself is black with white buttons at the front bottom of the monitor.

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.

I have the same problems as freddyzdead, the refresh rate is horrible and it makes games or videos unwatchable. I would not recommend this monitor to anyone. There are much better response times then 16ms for cheaper.

It seems that this monitor has its fair share of problems, I’ll make note of that in the main review.
