We do not recommend you make puchasing decisions based on Forum messages...I have even tried it with a few games and its not so bad...It was replacing an aging CRT and it takes up far less desktop space and doesn't look too bad either...
the biggest seller of notebooks in the European Union with an 18% share of the market...I would guess that there has either been a faulty batch or the model itself is naff! The monitor itself when working was pretty good, bright picture and crystal clear at the highest resolutions...Acer AL1706b - LCD Monitor with reviews and price comparison at dooyoo.co.uk...
I'm trying to find the AL1706Acer 17" but i'm not finding anything on it really...All i know is i've got a rather HIGH quality CRT 19" and my AL1951 Acer LCD litterly makes that monitor look like garbage...
Sadly not the same colours as the CRT...An opportunity to raise the resolution to 1280 x 1084 if required and compatible with rest of your setup...In correcting for this I found the monitors brightness control doesn't seem to do anything...
