Amazon.com Product Description
Add more screen real estate to your computer's desktop with the 22-inch Acer AL2216Wbd LCD monitor, which features an elegantly sophisticated, stylish black casing. But more than just a monitor for your desktop or laptop PC, the AL2216Wbd is also an excellent choice for gamers with its blazing fast 5ms (millisecond) response time. It also offers a high level of brightness with a 300 cd/m2 rating and a 700:1 contrast ratio. Other features include a 1680 x 1050-pixel resolution, dual DVI and VGA inputs, VESA compatibility for wall mounting, and user friendly controls on the front.

The monitor's 5ms response time is essential for hard-core gamers, and it's also great for watching high-intensity action movies with fast movement. It offers a high level of brightness with a 300 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) rating and a 700:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a monitor's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The screen also has a 170-degree horizontal and 160-degree vertical viewing angle.

The AL2216Wbd has a 22-inch screen (measured diagonally) that is framed by a thin, black bezel. The screen housing measures 20.2 inches wide by 16 inches tall. It sits upon a flat stand that measures 7.8 inches deep. Get just the right view with forward and backward tilting. The spare back includes just a power connector and the two video inputs: analog VGA and digital DVI with HDCP, which enables you to hook this monitor up to a cable or satellite set-top box for watching your favorite TV programs. It also supports Kensington locks for added security.

Tech Talk

• HDCP -- High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of copy protection technology designed to prevent transmission of non-encrypted high-definition content as it travels across DVI or HDMI digital connections.
• Response Time -- The amount of time it takes for a liquid crystal cell to from active (black) to inactive (white) and back against to active (black). It's measured in milliseconds (ms), and the lower the number the faster the response time--translating to a smoother picture with fewer pixilated or ghosted artifacts.

Customer Reviews

Nice Real Estate, Poor Quality
For the price, this monitor gives you a lot of screen space. Its nice to be able to run 2-3 programs and not have to constantly push one window over to access another program. However, after numerous attempts to calibrate the colors, the resolution of pictures and DVDs is still distorted, discolored and blurry.

Conclusion: In my field of work (music), the real estate is more important so its still a keeper and for the price, I can`t complain.

Excelent
This screen its awesome, lots of space to click click click, if you are like that clicks everywhere this is for you, no expensive at all, mine came with 0 dead pixels so I'm happy.

3 years warranty for a recognized brand at this low cost, its a shoot you cant miss.

The only cons its I tried to connect my old screen together in the same video card, but the dvi connector didnt allowed me to do that because its too wide, thats more a con to vga anyways.

Amazon excelent shipping, fast as the lightining an very good customer service, no other store can compare with this guys here in amazon, congrats.

Great Monitor
This is a great monitor if you are only interested in the basics. It does not have any built-in USB ports, speakers or other gadgets. Additionally, the stand is stationary and does not swivel. For my purposes, however, none of those things are needed and the monitor works great.
