> 3 dayIf you buy the SB220Q bi specifically, you get an IPS display that does greater than 60 Hz refresh rate (75), has a decent response time (4ms), is full HD (1080p), very thin, frameless, and has very good color and picture quality for something in its price range. Theres not much else to say, really. It may not be the most epic gaming display youve ever seen, but its certainly not low-quality. Im very happy with it.

> 3 dayWife uses this for her work and she said its just the right size for dealing with large reports that fill the screen. Hook up is simple and controls respond perfectly. There are so many to choose from it becomes crazy trying to decide. Get the model with the built in speakers!

Greater than one weekCompared to my laptop, the image is greener. My laptop is also an Acer. It is really bad side by side displaying the same image via an HDMI supplied by my laptop. The controls are tiny buttons under the screen. It really needs a remote. I missed the part about no speakers, but monitor speakers are usually poor, anyway. At the moment I am sending an HDMI signal to it from a digital tuner since my big TV is in storage while I am trying to move out from this house.

Greater than one weekI used to live in a cool, quiet house in a valley but had to move into a hot and noisy apartment in the city, with no A/C. The temps inside get up to 88 F on a hot day with a 90 F high! As room temp is considered to be 68-72 F, I was worried about my high end Lenovo ThinkVision monitor ($300) and HP color laser printer ($400) being fried or corroded in the heat and humidity of this wretched climate. So I placed both in my air-conditioned self storage unit while I look for better living conditions. To replace them, I decided to buy this $85 Acer monitor and an $85 HP inkjet printer (which costs less than a black toner cartridge for my color laser) and I could pretty much dump then when I move abroad to live (my main intentions). While the Acer is no match for the color saturation, overall screen quality, and bells and whistles of the Lenovo (which was pretty much hand-picked at Best Buy before I pulled the trigger on a good monitor), the Acer has surprised me for such a cheap monitor. Its sharp and color contrast is excellent. My main issue was the screen background being yellowish-green compared to my Lenovo or my Dell XPS, however it got whiter with time as the monitor burned in. In addition, I used the preset screen settings and found a couple that was able to whiten up the screen quite a bit, so that now, its not bad at all. For $85, I expected soft, blurry text with dull colors in which case Id return the monitor but I have no complaints now: sharp, excellent color saturation and contrast, and decently white background. Just be aware it has ZERO USB ports, no USB charging port, no HDMI or DisplayPorts, and no audio out port - nor height and tilt adjustments - like my Lenovo. In addition, Acer deleted the audio out port that the earlier models had. Well, I guess you get what you pay for. Its probably worth it to spend 3-4X the cost of the Acer to get a good monitor like the Lenovo, but for my purposes, the Acer suits me fine. I might have to find room in my self storage to keep the monitor as its too good to throw away!
