Acer G246HL Abd 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

I ordered this monitor expecting to be able to VESA mount it like every monitor and screen thats been made in the last 10 years, but no! If you DO want to VESA mount it, youll need a third party add-on for $15-30 because they dont sell those on Amazon. Price wise, you may as well get a 24 inch monitor from almost any other manufacturer because it will be the same cost overall, and have built in VESA mounting available. When you do find a third party VESA mount, youll find the power socket and DVI port on the back of the monitor are incredibly inconvenient and placed so that it is almost impossible to install cabling without extreme measures. Severely disappointing. I will NEVER buy another.

Was not really noticeable at first, but I saw what looked to be a buffer corruption running down the right hand side of the screen of my task bar, next to my icons. Spent the night swapping out cables and computers to find it was the DMI port on the monitor causing the issue. Got the RMA, will be getting a different brand when the refund comes in. With this monitor, and an Acer laptop I had that the mother board gave out right after the warranty was up, Im done with this company ...

ACER packaging was what looked like an open box item with stickers or tape over original stickers and lots of messy tape/well worn box (as it had been repackaged and retaped). Amazon packaging very sloppy also. If it was open box, it should have been labeled and priced accordingly. To add insult to injury, monitor did not work out of the box. A waste of my time to repackage and send back

The good news, it came out of the box and was easy to install. Downhill from there. The stand is flimsy and wobbles - appears unstable. The screen is blurry and very bright/white. I have been search how to adjust the brightness, the instructions are terrible and I cannot find help online. I guess I got what a paid for! It is cheep and it is CHEEP. I will go blind looking at this screen! Dont buy it, spend a little more and get better quality.

No matter what I tried I could never get this monitor to have the crisp image that it should have had. It always seemed to be a little out of focus and looked like the contrast was cranked too high. I tried everything I could think of, including updating my video card drivers and nothing seemed to help. PLUS, after I would set the brightness and preference settings via the OSD ... and saved them ... after I rebooted it would be back to the original settings. Ive always had great luck with the Acer brand, until now.

Tried adjusting brightness and contrast, was unable to change enough for my liking, so I assumed it was bad. Exchanged monitor for another, and this one has the same problem, very washed out. Hands down the worst monitor Ive ever purchased, could have bought a paper white CRT VGA monitor and had better color. No clue how this has almost 5 stars.
