Acer 21.5 Inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Computer Monitor (HDMI & VGA Port), SB220Q bi

I bought these monitors to replace the VGA monitors Id previously been using. Im pleased with the size, brightness, and picture quality -- all a huge improvement over what I had been using, and at a great price. HOWEVER. These monitors are VERY thin and light, with a lightweight base. The result is that they move VERY easily. If I bump my desk, the monitors shift. If I have to reach behind them (such as to feed a cord behind the desk), Im afraid Im going to bump them and tip them over. If Id shopped for these in store instead of online, I would have purchased something thats more stable/more hefty. Overall, though, Im happy with them.

I purchased this monitor for my wife to use with her Alienware R17X4 laptop. She had broken a key on her keyboard but also wanted a little larger screen. So, I purchased a wireless keyboard and this monitor. She now uses the powerful Alienware laptop as a desktop with a larger display and a wireless, movable keyboard. She is a very happy camper. Others have commented on the great graphics, thin design, and good quality build for a great price, so I wont repeat those details here. I will however point out a few tips: 1. At first, it seems the stand will not tilt. But it does! Grasp the stand firmly and then tilt the monitor back to the desired position. Note it does not tilt forward or side to side, but does tilt back (facing more upwards towards your eyes) which really helps in most settings. 2. If you dont get a signal, make sure you plugs the HDMI cable into the HDMI out port on your PC, not the HDMI in port. Duh. I had mine plugged into the wrong port until I found my reading glasses and saw the problem. 3. We changed three settings which you may want to also do if you have a laptop. First, we changed the display settings to choose between Second screen only, Duplicate, or Extend. We chose Extend so she can have two documents open at once on the two monitors, her laptop screen and the new monitor. You just drag one document off the edge of the monitor to move it to the other screen. 4. Next, we found that closing the laptop, when she only needed one screen, put it into hibernation and shut everything down. We went into Control Panel and changed Power Settings under What happens when you close the lid. We changed it from Hibernate to Do nothing. Now the laptop keeps running even when the laptop is closed. 5. Third, most Windows laptops are configured so you have to drag things off the right edge of your new remote monitor to get them onto the laptop screen. However we wanted her laptop setting to the left of her new monitor, so it was confusing to have to drag something off the right-hand edge of the monitor to get it onto the left-hand screen on the laptop. We went back into display settings, where you can drag the two monitors in the settings to reverse them. Now, she can drag items from the left-hand screen to the right-hand screen by dragging them in that direction, and vice versa. Much more intuitive to use that way. With those changes to the settings, she can open the laptop and use it as two monitors, dragging and dropping documents and apps from one screen to another. When she closes the laptop lid, it reverts to a single monitor (the new Acer) but does not go to sleep. This is perfect for what she needs. She can still power off the monitor when not needed for an extended period. Also, the laptop speakers still work when she turns on the sound even when the laptop is closed. I highly recommend this monitor for anyone wanting a very good quality, cost-effective solution.

As advertised. Easy set-up.

This is a decent screen. The quality is not as good as I was expecting. I rated the quality 4 because it could be clearer. Its not even good. Its just okay. But it is a budget screen so you get what you pay for. Its a very sleek and beautiful design and very lightweight and easy to install. I use an HDMI connector (Did not come in package. This came with a VGA cable only) and its so easy even a toddler can connect it. I use mine for the 2nd screen to my laptop since my laptop screen is almost blanked out so this is definitely a Life Saver for me. I gave this an overall rating of 5 stars because it came impeccably packaged. Everything was in the box and it arrived really quickly with no issues at all. I would def recommend for anyone who just wants a second screen for whatever work youre doing. But if you want a crisp clear screen with Galaxy S standard or to do high quality work or play intense games, this is NOT the screen for you.

Luego de un par de años de uso, no hay un IPS mejor que este por el precio. Tamaño de pantalla correcto, colores muy buenos si los comparas con los TN antiguos o que usasn las laptops baratas. Lo unico negativo es que no cuenta con soporte VESA

I dont use it for gaming so cant offer an opinion on that, but for streaming movies and general computer use, I am quite satisfied.

This was a great buy I only return due to my company offer to purchase one for me

Picture quality is Great, but I would like the sound to be louder.

Solid monitor overall but, as you can see from the picture, quality control for the stand is lacking. The picture compares my perfectly straight LG and this “leaning forward” Acer. As the title says, the LG is 4k and over $400. The Acer is 1080p and under $100. Lack of attention to detail like that is disappointing, especially because they messed up the least costly component and it sort of spoils the whole thing.

Decent inexpensive monitor
