Welcome
to the Acer AL1912 19" LCD Flat Panel Monitor Review page:
My 21" Nokia
CRT finally gave out last week and I ordered up two of these Acer AL1912 LCD's
to run off of my dual head video card. I checked around for a straight replacement
for my old 21" but found the price on an equal monitor had actually gone up. I
noticed the Acer LCD on sale, and figured two would make a great replacement and
give me a little more desktop real estate to work with.
After setup, I
measured the new 19" LCD and the old 21" screens to compare and found the actual
viewable size was only 3/4" smaller! Though max resolution is 1280 x 1024 on the
LCD, I only notice a small difference, the addition of the 2nd flat panel though
yeilded a great deal of welcome new space. The new LCD has a very nice bright
and vivid display and after installing the driver, I was able to update the refresh
frequency to 75hz and play my favorite first person shooter (counterstrike source).
Games are always the toughest test for any computer system so a component
that can game well, will definately do great on any desktop application like photo
editing, or web browsing. I noticed while browsing a couple sites, the white background
of pages was so bright it was actually too much so I cranked the brightness down
to 50%. The display stand and case have a nice black design that is compact compared
to its equal CRT counterpart and compliment my black computer case and keyboard.
The shelf on my desk that the CRT monitor used to sit on had a sag of about 1"
that leveled back out after its removal and replacement of the new LCD. The more
compact LCD also takes up much less space on my desk so I have room for more junk
food and empty coke cans... what a great bonus :)
