Acer V173B 17" LCD Monitor Reviews

• Great bang for the buck

  I rated this monitor 5 stars because of the bang for the buck.
  
  Pros:
  
  Sharp
  Great price
  Very bright
  Great refresh rate
  
  Cons:
  
  Does seem a little small if you have been on a 24inch iMac but what doesn't?
  
  Review:
  
  I bought this monitor for our backup computer which is an old Gateway PC running Ubuntu (free computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux). The old CRT monitor was over 10 years old and was fading into history not to mention it was huge, hot and took a lot of energy.
  
  This computer is mainly used to check e-mails, surf the web etc. and I use it to check how photos I re size on the big iMac look on a smaller screen. So I thought this little 17" should be just the ticket.
  
  Setup:
  
  I unpacked it plugged it in and bang it was up and running!! No need to do anything all the settings were perfect right out of the box.
  
  Conclusion:
  
  If you are looking for an easy to setup 17" LCD monitor and want bang for the buck this is it!!!
  
  I highly recommend.

  This little monitor continues to impress me. It seems almost as sharp and bright as my 24inch iMac which has always been my bench mark for the perfect monitor. But it's a heck of a lot cheaper. How do they make the price this low and the quality this good?

  Pros: excellent picture, fast refresh, compact size, very little heat generation, wide viewing angles, looks nice.
  Cons: have run it near constantly for a month playing games and surfing with no problems yet so it may have none :)

  I purchased this for my 78 year old mother to replace her old, CRT monitor. I purchased it 1.) for the low, low price 2.) on the basis of two positive customer reviews. Exceeding all possible expectations, the monitor arrived in her home within two business days -- free freight. She hooked it up by herself and is babblingly ecstatic with the results. ("I don't even have to use my glasses to read it!!")

  I bought this monitor to replace a 15 inch Dell Trinitron that started popping and smoking one afternoon last month. I take a lot of digital pictures in my work and for pleasure. Color fidelity isn't a life or death issue but I appreciated how well the Trinitron did its job.
  So, I had some apprehension about buying this monitor but the price made the decision easy. I haven't seen a better deal anywhere. I was very pleased to find that the color and resolution of this monitor satisfied me completely. I am very pleased with this purchase.

  This is an excellent buy for the money and purpose of our home computer. There are no internal speakers so be prepared to buy those separately, but we got the Logitech S120 2.0 Multimedia Speakers for around $12 and they work great for our use. Have always had good experiences with Acer brands.

  I am pleased with my purchase of the Acer V1738 17" LCD Monitor. There was no product damage, no hassles, and the price was great. Just a short time ago, I wouldn't order anything online. Now I find it convenient and free shipping doesn't hurt either. I am a satisfied customer.

• Price Plays??
  By A3RUY1Y0ZPNUJ4 on 2008-10-31
  Got this for $12 less last week. "Buy it Now" still has the lowest price, with free shipping. Beats the River by the Same name in South America with their slow "free" shipping. However, I like this monitor so much, I will buy another one. It puts out a clean, clear and bright picture. That's all I want. Thanks BUY IT NOW.
