acer HA220Q 21.5-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor - Silver (HA220Q bi)

Great price, great screen, *very* light and thin, almost impossibly so, but strong and well-built - delivery was on time, as promised. Only drawbacks !) controls are a bit funky, uses a row of buttons located on the right bottom side of the screen, not that easy to use, but I already have larger Acer screen, was somewhat familiar with the Acer control layout 2) the screen has only VGA and HDMI inputs, no DVI or DisplayPort (DP), and oddly, did not come with HDMI cable, only VGA cable - this was not an problem for me, I wanted the display for VGA and HDMI, and I already have cables, but if users need other inputs, will need to buy converters, or consider a different monitor.

This monitor is what I bought as my first monitor, paired with my first PC build. This monitor is thin, has little to no frame, and the I really like the buttons on the bottom tight hand corner of the monitor and how they are hidden on the underside of the monitor. It has a little indicator showing if the monitor is turned on, off, or in sleep mode. Acer could've added at least one USB port on the back of the monitor, but I can't really complain when a quality monitor is less than $100. The monitor stand is very sturdy, and it leaves a lot of space left on my desk for my keyboard. Just a little something I wanted to say, The chrome coating on the Acer logo reflects the RGB lights coming from my keyboard and I think it looks gorgeous.

The monitor itself is fine for the price. The only problem is that it tends to lean slightly forward on the stand, which is not adjustable. I solved the problem easily by putting a pair of inexpensive rubber door-stops under the base of the stand to make it lean backwards slightly (and the black color makes them look like they're part of the base, so it's a perfect fit), but be aware. So 5 stars for the monitor, but minus 1 for the stand.

I had an old Samsung 18" monitor that was sort of slim but still sort of clunky and I tend to watch a lot of my Netflix or Prime on the PC instead of going in the den and messing with the TV but certain new shows just looked horrible so after a little browsing I decided on this unit and am very happy after only having it barely a week. Just enough size improvement due to limited space and the LCD screen clarity is brilliant. From the time I opened the amazon box to having it hooked up and the screen auto detected was less than 10 minutes.

When I find myself plugging my HDMI from the monitor into my laptop, over half the time, the display on the monitor isn't the real picture, it's the picture with some nasty yellow and purple tint. When this happens, I have to unplug and plug in the HDMI cable numerous times (sometimes even 3 or 4 times) before the real un-tinted picture appears. You can imagine this can get really annoying if you have to plug and unplug your HDMI cable 3 to 4 times every time you wish to use it... Not too satisfied with this product... pictures attached. ***Edit: fantastic customer service. I filed a return request and stated my problem and they immediately accepted my claim and sent out a replacement monitor. The replacement arrived in 2 days. Thanks!

Had to replace a failing monitor on short notice. The panel looks great for the price and zero issues with dead pixels or backlight bleed. The panel is super thin. No cats allowed around it because I don't think it would survive tipping over. That said it does have a sturdy base but the area where the monitor connects to the base could be a bit stronger. It also took considerable force to get the panel on the base initially.

I have owned 2 of these monitors for almost a year. I have no complaints about functionality of them--I use them for drafting work hooked up to my laptop. Picture quality/clarity is excellent for what I need to do. The other day, however, one of the monitors had a weird purple splotch in the corner. I thought it was ON the monitor so I tried to wipe it off (I have kids so I thought it was purple paint or something) and then the "bleed" went down the screen on the inside and the screen started flickering. Now it's flickering and frozen. Acer has been fine, I just opened a case to get it repaired since it's under warranty, but I have to pay to ship it to them! It's only a $90 monitor and I fear that I'm going to ship it, for some reason they're going to tell me the repair isn't covered, and then I'm out shipping + the cost of a new monitor anyway.

Update: Worked for about a week then started going black and then finally wouldn't come back on anymore. Sent back. Very nice. Great picture. Light weight.
