Basically okay, but poor and gaudy presentation

Acer S240HLBID 61 cm (24 inch) ultra slim LED monitor (DVI, VGA, HDMI, 5ms response time) black (accessories)

Customer Review

Looking for a new 24-inch monitor (my previous four-year-old 20-incher from BenQ gets my son for his first desktop PC) I am ("average user", ie 50% Internet, 10% Image Processing, 10% Games, 10% films, 10% Home Recording), first of the large number of price attractive (ie taken by surprise up to 150,00 EUR) devices, the intensive study of various reviews and Customer Reviews on Amazon could ultimately prove no absolute favorite, so I ordered - spontaneously at an appropriate flash range of Amazon (129.00 EUR instead of 159.00 EUR) slammed and the ACER S240HLBID - which is actually very good fared in the majority of the reviews.

Delivery as always perfect, packaging is also very good, unpacking and setting up without problems (great design, very visually appealing), connection via additionally purchased DVI cable (the graphics card of my computer does not have an HDMI input), recognized Monitor immediately from your PC , Quite dominant on the desktop compared to the previous 20-inch monitor ...

The first impression: quite bright and bright, color-rich picture is not, after all, no pixel errors.

The corresponding software provided by ACER (eColor Management) installed and once herumprobiert to the settings, in addition further software (freeware) for monitor calibration and display of test images downloaded permanently further adjustment attempts and changes made (three days) (while quite the proposals of other pros reviewers considered), but somehow I have not managed to get a satisfactory added for my claims image quality.

The colors continue to be unrealistic, much too cold (even when set to "warm"), even with a reduced brightness still rather garish (headache! After two hours on the PC), black display rather modest.

For this reason I have decided to return the screen as part of the warranty guarantee back to Amazon and me an alternative device - with glossy panel namely the HP X2301 - to order.

In a direct comparison as different as day and night: the HP much clearer and warmer colors, more screen dynamics, class image without much adjustment changes; Although only 23 inches, but perfectly adequate; light reflections on the glossy display only in direct light (with me not), great and "stylish" design, extremely flat panel, faster response time (3 ms).

High beats the HP X2301 ACER S240HLBID I think hands down (well, there's a little more expensive).

In summary:

Advantages:

- Price (129.00 EUR)
- Design
- Super Slim

Disadvantages:

- Lack of color fastness and flash image presentation
