StewartKnight Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I've just got one of these 19" acer widescreen, and they are fantastic value, only £154 for a 19" would be a bargin, but widescreen to boot! I have this monitor at home, and I'm really impressed. Obviously it's massive, but the image quality is very good, and the pixel response time is 8ms!
SteveT Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I bought one of these last week to go with my new rig... Really nice and excellent value.
indie Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Wowser! What's the catch?!? Interface VGA (HD-15) Max Resolution 1440 x 900 That's the catch!
SteveT Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Interface VGA (HD-15) Max Resolution 1440 x 900 That's the catch! Yup, you need a DVI/VGA adaptor but for the price I really like it. Good response time and resolution good enough.
StewartKnight Posted December 16, 2005 Author Posted December 16, 2005 dunno, I already had one from my Sony 15" TFT. I'll check at home later. It's just a normal VGA lead!
plexer Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Or the other catch being that the supplier is Misco but I won't go there presume other suppliers have it too> Ben
StewartKnight Posted December 16, 2005 Author Posted December 16, 2005 Plenty! Dabs, Amazon, all the usual suspects. I just mentioned Misco because thats where I got mine from. Called them Tuesday, it arrived on Wednesday. I must admit I was pleasently suprised! I'd ordered lots of stuff (built a new rig), and they said that the 19"was out of stock and I had to wait till Jan, which I was happy to do,as it's such a bargin, but it turned up all the same. Wonder if I'll get one in Jan as well by mistake!!??!!
StewartKnight Posted December 16, 2005 Author Posted December 16, 2005 I've checked the box, the VGA lead IS included!!
SpuffMonkey Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 You get keen TFT prices at http://www.aria.co.uk too - got my 19" Dell from there - £135 - special sales are on Fridays
sahmeepee Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I suppose it's a bit of a catch: a 19" widescreen has less screen area than a 19" 'narrow' screen (because it's less square and they're measuring the diagonal). I suspect it'll be less tall than a 17" judging by the piccy. This is probably why so many laptops are widescreen now (aside from the portable DVD-player angle).
