Well hello, unbelievably low-priced 22-inch monitor.
If you need further proof that monitor prices, they are a-falling, here’s a 22-inch Acer for $99.99 plus $11.99 for shipping.
To be fair, it’s 21.6 inches but you get a 1680×1050 resolution, 300 cd/m2 brightness, and 2500:1 contrast ratio. Inputs include DVI-D and, presumably, VGA. No speakers but, hey, big whoop. Listen to your Discman instead.

Does Acer make good monitors?
not really, no.
If you are in the market for a monitor of these specs then this is a good buy if the manu. warranty is in tact. The thing is, I would only consider this a secondary or “preview monitor” of sorts.. The resolution is pretty low (unless you have an outdated video card or are looking to add a monitor to your laptop) and I would go ahead and guess that the refresh rate is ample for nothing more than word processing and watching lifetime network movies.
Also the link claims “product not available” now so.. I am talking to an otherwise dead post YAY
