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

Good value for the price. Improved my productivity as compared to 15” laptop.

Wasnt paying close enough attention I guess, but this model does not have built-in speakers. And thats my only complaint. But, as I use it as a second monitor on a notebook running my DMX lighting and another notebook providing the audio anyway I do not need them. Just a heads-up in case that matters to you.

The attached picture shows the blurry text that only started happening after switching from my tv to this. I changed no settings other than making text bigger after switching from my tv to this so why are things so grainy and blurry with this number 1 ranked monitor? I only bought this monitor to help my eyes.. I have bad eyesight and as I age its getting worse. Going from a 43 inch tv to a 21inch monitor is difficult but Its helped me enjoy streaming more since I still use my tv for streaming. Its helped me play LoL better because now I dont have to look two feet to the side anymore lol. I am disappointed with how hard it is to clean the screen. My tv screen is also hard but it never absorbed water(maybe my tv has a coating or something). I wish I would have known this screen absorbs things before I tried to clean it.. Made a permanent smudge(maybe its not permanent and I just dont know what cleaner Im supposed to use on screens). I had old monitors that were SO easy to clean the screens(LCD flat panels..). Since Ive been using this monitor and keeping my tablets blue light filter on I have not had a single eye strain related eye twitch. I just wish it were capable of being cleaned and that things werent so GRAINY. The only reason why Im not sending it back is because its clearly helping my eyes not get as strained..... I would have given it less stars if I didnt care about my eyesight as much. I can confirm it has tilt but I couldnt figure out how to get the tilt to STAY tilted without re screwing those two screws back in(which made it not tilt anymore lol..) So I wedged a Popsicle stick in it to keep it SECURELY tilted. Luckily I cant see the eyesore when using the monitor even with it tilted back. Im not sure why it takes 6 seconds for this monitor to turn on. My entire pc only takes 13 and its 8 years old(with a newer nvidia gpu that makes me want to go back to amd sometimes). I wish the power light didnt blink when in standby mode. Id love to not turn this monitor off when Im not using it because it goes to standby mode very quickly after my pc is off and only uses 0.05 watts more than being off and plugged into outlet but that blinking power light is too annoying.

Very wide screen with high quality resolution.

Works very well for a monitor of this price range, only nitpick I have about it is that the picture is slightly dulled in color.

OK, FIRST of all, I only got this about 2 hours ago, so keep in mind that this IS subject to change. FIRST pros! 1. The ease of use was fine. After hooking it up, I simply hit the on button, the first switch from your right just to the right of and behind the prominent LED. The led is subtle and blue when on. I didnt need to set anything else. 2. It DOES tilt, but it isnt that obvious. Once assembled, you have to push the top of the monitor to tilt it. It should be a little easier, but it is fine. 3. The picture is fine. 4. If you have a VGA monitor, it comes with a cable for it. I got a long hdmi cable to hook it up. 5. The price seems about PERFECT! It seems the smaller ones are not much less, if they are at all, and ones that are slightly larger cost a LOT more, so this seems to be the current sweet spot. And in this range, this particular model is probably about in the center of the price range. The ONE con I had was that I spend so much time looking for a monitor with a good track record, that I slipped up on getting my one nice to have I hoped for, AUDIO. This has no audio, apparently. Otherwise, it is FINE for the moment. I spent a while, and even went to anther company, to make sue the reliability and features were there. Heres hoping I feel the same way 2 years and more from now. The last monitor I got, for another system about 4 years ago, and STILL working well, is a model that isnt made any more, and the related monitors have a lower general rating than I would like, so I picked THIS one. BTW I didnt rate gaming, as I dont play games. I imagine it is about as good as most monitors here.

Sent as a gift. Used mainly for gaming. Great resolution, thin, lightweight and gives crisp pictures.

Excellent color

Bought this in Jan 2021 during WFH COVID. Still works great. I originally bought this for my PC, but works great for extending my Macbook too.

My laptop screen finally burned out and I needed a quick but still decent solution since a whole new computer is out of budget right now. Boy, did I luck out finding this! At 22 its about a 5 upgrade from the original screen in roughly the same footprint on my desk. And wow is it SHARP... and BRIGHT! I can now sit back further from my desk without straining my eyes while editing photos, reading, and watching videos. Since Im not a hardcore gamer I cant speak to its performance in that regard, except to say that emulated DOOM ran perfectly smooth and looked great on it :-D My only real gripe is that the buttons for power, display settings, etc are located under the bottom edge of the screen, which is really inconvenient, and theres no labeling or anything on the front edge to correspond to which button is which, so until you learn the layout by muscle memory, you might have to do like i did and keep the diagram from the manual as a cheat sheet. Once you get into the menus, however, there are plenty of options to tweak to your hearts content. I really like that theres a blue light setting for working at night or when you just want to give your eyes a break (obviously, you wouldnt want this on if youre editing photos, but for reading its fantastic). Theres also a display widget for certain models that you can download from the Acer website that gives you point-and-click desktop access to some of these adjustments without having to use the monitor buttons. A nice touch, but it would be nice if ALL the features could be accessed through the widget as well. Setup is plug-and-play; I literally had this out of the box and ready to go within minutes (you will need to supply your own HDMI cable if you dont have one; only a VGA cable is included). Apparently some models have built-in audio; I can tell you that the SB220Q that I have does NOT have audio out, so you will need external speakers to run the sound from your system out to if thats an issue. VERY happy with this value monitor!
