Can't beat it for this price
I don't know what other people are talking about. I use this monitor to play games with on my PC. It is certainly useful in more than just reading Word Documents. Bright ? what do people mean when they say a TV monitor is not bright enough ? If it isn't turn up the brightness...LOL.. And it certainly isn't "Cheap" feeling.IT ISN'T a Widescreen...DUH, so don't complain about it not being one or compare it to a widescreen.AND it ISN'T a LED BACKLIT Monitor !! All this you know BEF...

Works great.
Opened the box, plugged in cords, snapped monitor into base (from pictograph directions printed on box), turned it on and voila! Only resolution to be changed (easily on a Mac OS 10.6.4, under System Preferences - Monitors). So clear, so easy. No need for enclosed cd and printed manual (yet).4 stars because monitor does not tilt (product specs didn't say it would) but my last ones (Samsung, ViewSonic) did. I don't yet know about product lifespan.

"What.. I can't give this a 6 star rating?"
Monitors have gotten too large and wide for my tastes. I found this the finest monitor I've tested in this price range that fits nicely on a table that does not need to be more than three feet away to take it all in. I waited three months after buying this to post this review so I've kicked it around awhile. NO dead pixels, 250 nits is plenty of brightness because there are contrast and cool/hot brightness settings that suit any tastes! I just hope they keep making this winner and don't chang...

buy it
Does NOT have a flimsy feel. I agree with previous reviewer that says if you need it brighter then turn up the brightness. There is an easy to use front panel control for that. Not much to say about it. If you are looking for a good 17" lcd monitor at an excellent price,then buy this one. If you want something else like a widescreen then buy that instead.

Nice size for Word Documents
This is a great size for reading Word Documents...most of the screens are wide-screen now. But also most good screens are backlit and have better quality. I got an LG screen (widescreen) that had five times the quality and appeal of this for about $20 more. This has a very flimsy feel to it, but was a good replacement for the tiny screens that came with my Dell computer (although they seemed a lot sturdier). It's not as bright as a backlit computer and probably wouldn't be good for watching ...

Wrong connector
I really can't rate this monitor, and had to return it, because I couldn't even hook it up to my MAC, since it didn't have a DVI connection. I didn't see anywhere it stated that in the Amazon advertising, even though it mentioned in the user guide that a DVI connection was "optional", but no mention in the info from Amazon how you could accomplish that.

SCORE!
I have an older HP (2005) that is still kicking. The integrated video card does not support wide-screen format, and I wanted to find a flat-panel monitor for my kids to work with. Acer's V173 17-inch LCD was the perfect solution. It's very difficult to locate monitors of this ratio anymore. I usually buy Viewsonic widescreens for my work machines, and have never before purchased Acer product. I was not very hopeful that I'd get anything other than an OK-quality monitor. I was thrilled with the c...

Nice monitor for a server or where standard aspect is desirable
This unit replaced a broken display on a server with limited space. It worked great and we just pluged it in. Nothing fancy just reliable replacement.

Acer 17" LCD Monitor
The size (non-wide-screen) is better than a wide-screen monitor for viewing normal Web Pages, unless you are fond of shrinking a number of Windows on the screen at one time. For business and general browsing the view ratio is good, while, for watching movies, a wide-screen monitor may be better. But, a 17" wide-screen monitor has a tiny height, compared with this type - making for a lot more scrolling on Websites.This particular monitor, I rated "3" (average) - as it is what one mi...
