    I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this screen. Does anyone have experiences/thoughts with this monitor or with Acer in general?

    Right now I have a LG 19" Flatron W1952TQ-TF, which is really good, but I wouldn't mind a larger screen/resolution, and my friend (who has the same LG screen) would like to buy mine off of me (as it's discontinued) to set up a matching dual-monitor setup.

    Thoughts?

    TIA,
    pixelot :cool:

    I Personally don't care for Acer, but for $140 for 1080p seems like a good buy

    Yeah, I'm not a big Acer fan, but it seems like a good deal, and I've gotten the impression that they make better screens than laptops? I hope. :rolleyes:

    I have the 3D version of this monitor, the GD235Hz, and i love it. From a pure gaming aspect it's a great monitor. Not sure how the two compare but i'm sure they are similar in performance.

    Thanks, that's reassuring, seeing as I already bought it. :rolleyes:

    Gaming with the 1080p ratio and the glossy screen were my main concerns, but I don't think I'll regret it. Anyways, I won't sell my LG until I know if I like it, which should be soon (3-day free shipping FTW! :D).

    Also at the price they're going for I'm seriously considering getting another 2 so that I can do an Eyefinity setup.
