Amazon.com Product Description
Add more screen real estate to your computer's desktop with the 22-inch Acer AL2216Wbd LCD monitor, which features an elegantly sophisticated, stylish black casing. But more than just a monitor for your desktop or laptop PC, the AL2216Wbd is also an excellent choice for gamers with its blazing fast 5ms (millisecond) response time. It also offers a high level of brightness with a 300 cd/m2 rating and a 700:1 contrast ratio. Other features include a 1680 x 1050-pixel resolution, dual DVI and VGA inputs, VESA compatibility for wall mounting, and user friendly controls on the front. The monitor's 5ms response time is essential for hard-core gamers, and it's also great for watching high-intensity action movies with fast movement. It offers a high level of brightness with a 300 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) rating and a 700:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a monitor's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The screen also has a 170-degree horizontal and 160-degree vertical viewing angle. The AL2216Wbd has a 22-inch screen (measured diagonally) that is framed by a thin, black bezel. The screen housing measures 20.2 inches wide by 16 inches tall. It sits upon a flat stand that measures 7.8 inches deep. Get just the right view with forward and backward tilting. The spare back includes just a power connector and the two video inputs: analog VGA and digital DVI with HDCP, which enables you to hook this monitor up to a cable or satellite set-top box for watching your favorite TV programs. It also supports Kensington locks for added security. What's in the Box

- HDCP -- High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of copy protection technology designed to prevent transmission of non-encrypted high-definition content as it travels across DVI or HDMI digital connections.
- Response Time -- The amount of time it takes for a liquid crystal cell to from active (black) to inactive (white) and back against to active (black). It's measured in milliseconds (ms), and the lower the number the faster the response time--translating to a smoother picture with fewer pixilated or ghosted artifacts.

 The 250 dollar 22 inch July 17, 2008
Strategos (In Space above Planet Earth)
There was a time when monitors were square and CRTs were the end-all-be-all. Despite many limitations LCDs are teh defacto standard these days because of their appearance and thinness. And then of course high-definition display formats had to come along and make everything even more complicated with widescreen displays becoming the new standard. Thus when making a decision to buy a new display I found myself leaning towards a large widescreen LCD...
I just love Acer products. They might not make the ultra-high-end crazy gizmos that people brag about (can't stand people who go on and on and on about their ultra-high-def-plasma-10,000 inch-blah-blah-blah), but they work great, and they are cheap, cheap cheap.
You could go to just about any electronics store and pay about $400.00 for a 24 inch, or pay about $300.00 for a 22 inch. Or you could pay $200.00 and get this bargain (and laugh at everyone who paid more). As always, there are sacrifices and tradeoffs when you go after the best bargain.
For starters, picture quality. While the resolution and clarity are quite good, some other areas are rather sub-par. There's light leakage around the border as times (especially the top of the screen), and the contrast is not very good at all. You CAN get the screen to look rather good, but it will take considerable tweaking. Personally I have it configured to the Animation setting which maximizes contrast and brightness and color fidelity. It works great for me because I'm using the screen as the center of my home theater (with an Xbox 360, a computer, a VCR, and every other game system hooked into it with multiple switchboxes). Of course that brings up another point. Unlike high-end screens, there are no inputs on this screen besides standard VGA. That means that if like me, you would like to plug in a lot of external devices besides a PC, you can either buy a bunch of converters, cables, and switchboxes, or you can just buy a more expensive screen that has all kinds of crazy inputs like one of those high-end dell screens.
I have absolutely zero worries about product reliability and usabillity, because I'm typing this on an Acer laptop and buy quite a few Acer products, and they've never let me down yet. If you're looking for a decent screen at a ridiculously low price, this is the one to get. If you're looking for something high-end, look elsewhere.
 Excellent product for the price. July 14, 2008

brilliant, great color, no dead or stuck pixils. i love all the territory on the screen. for example, if you do a google image search, all the results on each results page fit on the screen at once. i can have more documents open and see them all at once. it simplifies photoshop-type work too, with a larger screen requiring less scrolling around. it doesn't run that warm. there are fewer convenience connections like for camera or memory sticks than higher priced alternatives, but my computer has those connections anyway. i used to be able to send s-video signal from my video card to my tv, but this monitor (like any of this size) uses all the resources of my video card - it will no longer send the s-video signal when driving this monitor. to regain that capability i will need to upgrade my video card. check your video card's capability first - not all older cards will run this monitor or retain their full functionality with this monitor. your card must support 1680 x 1050 pixils, the only size this monitor can use. issues like this are simply a function of the video card being close to obsolete - not a problem with the monitor.
