Hi Stephen, I can not say something about monitors by Acer, but I can say something generally about notebooks from Acer. For my customers I had sometimes to search for a good and cheap notebook. Mostly I chose Acer, because it has a good relationship between price and performance, they have excellent technical support and are absolutely customer friendly. Oh yes, I never had any trouble with my Acer notebooks, nor have my customers. Whilst they are more office users, I am using mine for gaming, security analysis, networking and much more. It is my working horse. And it is now almost 10 years old, but is doing its job at best. Dunno if this helps you, but hope so. Best regards Hans
