Extremely good monitor if it has been configured

IMPRESSION:

Despite relatively average Berwertung on Amazon, I decided to try out the monitor as it was rated in other tests with 1.5 and I wanted to convince myself of it. After all, I had always get with Acer monitors the best in terms of price / performance.

The screen is not as thin, as expected, but looks really chic on the desk and is damn easy !!! Yes, the screen weighs compared to other very little. He can always lift with one hand. But because it shows that a lot of plastic is present, especially if you knock something about it (but it is a minor point).

-----------------------------------

IMAGE:

I am of course immediately come to the problems on the track, which is why a lot of bad reviews fall! Very easily. The monitor has bes *** Standard color / contrast and gamma settings. In addition, the RGB color space with HDMI totally illuminated. Acer has saved here neatly to pre-configuration, but I have not given up.
Although I had a time to exchange the device for a pipe screen itself, but the substitute showed that there was only one defect, fortunately. (Defects are no minus points!)

I admit that I was very disappointed when I saw compared to my Acer M242HML that the G246 had a gray haze, but I have made myself immediately on the settings and the Acer software.
With the software, the image excellent setting and the contrast can be adjusted so that the colors are crisp and the image cleanly.

But since I can not stand it when programs have to run an extra, I have the Acer eManagement uninstalled and searched for other solutions.
After more than 2 hours I came up with the simple idea HDMI try and got the shock that the image is there totally gray and the colors look bad. I tried the on-screen menu to adjust everything but the bringing almost nothing!

I was really on the verge return the device with poor rating, but then I came across a solution while working in the Nvidia Control Panel color setting was playing.

Not to forget:
If you look very closely to notice that to tighten dark objects on light backgrounds slight traces. I think is a sign that an Over-Drive function in the screen is working to increase the response time. Thus, the Panel is not quite clear. I found this annoying initially, but over time it does not bother, and does not stand out, if you do not pay attention on it.

-----------------------------------

SOUND:
The setting is in place on-screen menu, but can neither change nor use. There is also no sound output.

-----------------------------------

-----------------------------------

SOLUTION:

Poor color or blurred images occur due to incorrect resolutions / contrast, gamma, brightness and saturation settings. Therefore, this must be Configured when everything is wrong.
Should also arrive here there is no improvement, the panel really bad or the device is defective.

In this case helps the configuration to a magnificent picture! Whether ATI or Nvidia graphics card, the setting must be made unfortunately, although this is yet to brokering that the image By default worse than expected.

Unfortunately, I can mention only the Nvidia settings, but even with the settings in the ATI Catalyst Control Center should be made similar.

These settings must be made in the desktop COLOR SETTING in the NVIDIA Control Panel!

Brightness: 50%
Contrast 60%
Gamma: 0.95

(Reset when Picture too bright, then Digitiale color adjustment to 50%, and restarting the system.) 49%: Digital Color Correction

Digital color format:
YCbCr444
This color format with HDMI is very important! (Caution: If there is an option not DVI)

With these settings, my picture is very sharp, the colors to bite nice genuine and contrasts impressively clean!

Actually, I would only give 4 stars because of the effort, but I am satisfied in the end, he gets 5 stars. Compromises you have to make in each screen model. At least that has been the experience. All screens have at least 1-2 quirks!

-----------------------------------

CONCLUSION:
I can recommend the screen, even though I am of the opinion that these flaws need not be. Those who are not too fine a time is to make these settings in the graphics driver, which is expected to pick up this device. He's quick, and makes a very good picture!
Price-performance of Acer here again very good!

PS: Another thank you to Amazon for the quick replacement unit delivered, which then had no more whistling. (That was my first experience with a Bilschirm, the whistles. Strange ...)
