| bugmenot's Full Review: Acer AL2216WBD 22 inch LCD Monitor |
Compared to a 19" crt, the screen is immense. However the actual resolution 1680x1050 is noticeably less than the 1600x1200 desktop of the crt. You can somewhat compensate by using smaller fonts, since the screen size make everything naturally larger. Moreover, to be honest, a mediocre crt will always beat even a high end lcd when it comes to color fidelity, response and resolution adaptability. Don't get me wrong, my crt is officially mothballed by this panel but please be aware of its limits. Just be prepared to spend a lot of time tweaking the colors
BTW, I got mine at BBUY for less than a hundred due to their bad register management :)
