In summary, Acer H243H is cheap. Great screen. But you get crappy features with the cheap price. There is a 1/8" watermark. It is like when you press on old LCD screen, you can see water like effect on the screen. The defect was like that, except permanent. It is near the center 2/3 of the screen. I don't see how this got past quality control. I didn't check for dead/stuck pixel on either unit. But there was nothing obvious that I can see. I never run application to check for dead pixels. If I don't see it, then I don't want to know about it. The screen is excellent. Text looks great. The brightness and contrast has a wide range, so you can find the settings that works for you. I'm surprised how bright the display is. I am now running at brightness=38 and contrast=40 (out of 100). Plenty of room to adjust if you are in a bright room. Sensor touch button. It is so frustrating to use the controls. It is so poorly engineered. There is a learning curve. Initially, Acer sensor touch works maybe 33% of the time. I tried Samsung and LG sensor touch buttons at the store; they are responsive and works great. There are 2 issues with the sensor touch button. First is that sensor is not sensitive. Second is that there is lag in OSD response. After like 1 hour of trial and error as I was calibrating the screen, I learned some tricks with the sensor controls. Use your thumb and cover the entire button area. Leave your thumb there for 1 sec, rather than a quick press. As the button is activated, it lights ups. But OSD has a lag and won't show up for another sec. So be patient. Good thing is that once you have your settings right, you don't have to use the controls again. Speakers. This is a joke. The speakers are placed on the rear of the monitor pointing upward. You get a weird sound effect like you are in cave. And the sound is low and crappy. This is not a big deal as I plan to use external speakers anyways. Buzzing sound. Some online reviewers complained about buzzing sound from the unit, with severity varying with brightness. Yes, if I hold my ear to unit, I can hear it. But I don't hear it when I sit back and with the PC on. Actually, I also checked my 22" Dell LCD monitor and Sony LCD 40" HDTV. The Dell also has a buzzing sound and similar to Acer. Sony LCD HDTV actually has a much louder buzzing sound. Not noticeable under normal condition, but it is there if I put my ears couple inches from the unit. The plastic surface is glossy. So I do see reflection. This is very noticeable and obnoxious with the reflection from my TV.Read full review
I recently upgraded from a 19" standard screen on my Dell desktop to the Acer 24" Widescreen. This monitor is great, I would recomend it to anyone. I can't believe the resolution and clarity that I got out of this monitor. I use AutoCad drafting software and the widescreen makes the viewing/workarea super big and easy to use. I should have got one of these years ago.
good value older monitor to buy used best thing is that they have DVI, HDMI, VGA and speakers. Also VESA monitor mounts so you can always re-purpose later as small TV in your RV or kids room.
Great for watching Divx movies. Doesn't have that 'night light' glow that new LED monitors have. Also, does not raise the temp in my room as do the LED monitors.
This is a great monitor with great specs, bought mine as is for parts/repair so price/availability was the factor in this decision. This is the second acer monitor I own and I like the overall quality in the acer brand
