Reviews of the Acer P241W

    CNET Review

    July 22, 2008

    The Good: Unique bezel design creates an aesthetically pleasing look; sharp picture quality with DVDs and games; very high screen brightness; has DVI, VGA, and HDMI ports.

    The Bad: High brightness makes for washed out color and shallow blacks; no height adjustment or rotation feature; OSD menu navigation takes some getting used to.

    The Bottom Line: High brightness and a low price make the 24-inch Acer P241w immediately appealing, as does its unique bezel design, but we found its brightness came at the expense of deep colors and blacks. There's another low-cost 24-inch LCD we prefer.
