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

Great Value! Flimsy Stand.
This Acer 22" monitor is a great value for the buck. I bought 2 of these to place side by side for my Mac Pro when doing video editing. The thin walls make an almost negligible line between. Both monitors have sofar (2 months) have zero bright spots or dead pixels. Its current price of sub $200 is the icing on the cake.

The only caveat is the flimsy stand that wobble a bit when I am working on the desktop. Other than that you cant beat the price for the size!

Great monitor, great value
I was amazed to find a 22" widescreen for this price. The picture is crystal clear, no dead or stuck pixels, and setup was a snap. And after using a 19" square monitor for years, the monitor seems positively huge.

Great Monitor and Even Better Price
I have owned this monitor for about 2 months now and I couldn't be happier. The colors are vibrant and I have zero dead pixels. Using the DVI vs Analog is a no-brainer. I tried both and the difference was striking. DVI all the way!

And then there's the price I paid. $223.84 minus the $50 HD DVD promotion Amazon has, I picked this puppy up for $173.84 and free shipping. Can't beat that with a rubber stick.
