Most Helpful Customer Reviews 34 of 35 people found the following review helpful. Good screen, but needs tweaking with Maestro Advantages: Build Quality Low power slim sturdy aluminum base to mount very easy to self-backlit, very little bleeding (if any) Bright no bad pixels, 2 HDMI inputs Small power adapter with a HDMI cable inputs are at the bottom Disadvantages: last menu controls some time to get off-center installation uses a small deflection has only one speaker (non-issue for myself - not even listen to them) I find the Acer software tools to fine -tune the colors and so ... strangely took a lot of time, resources and patience to Usual defects TN panels, which calibrates I do not rehash No direct input buttons to dive into menus to switch the input indicated 68% color gamut have input in the base shipping packages I had this concern is my first LCD home and replaced a 17-inch CRT, I still have it and have two monitors to compare them side by side. Also I have not had a chance every game yet, but if there is nothing unusual, I'm an update I'm still fine-tuning post, because I started the calibration of my old card (Nvidia 6800 GS on analogue) and then got a new card (AMD 5870 via HDMI), but it's basically what I experienced: I can not find the light distracting, very simple and effective, almost elegant. Entries - you either love or hate the place (they are the foundation outwards, not down), but I bought a mono Price Save HDMI connection. It is essentially an adapter worked perfectly 90 degrees for this configuration entry. I make the display to promote as far as possible without worrying about bending the cable. The power supply is very low, which is nice. You really took some time to discover this monitor look its best. Out of the box with the colors appeared a bit washed out. So I first calibrated by the eye then uses video discs calibration and color filters to only display controls make it look good at first, I adjusted the RGB levels of the "user" for the color temperature, but actually prefer the warm (D6500) after I set them AB, whites looked more white. (I think this monitor D6500 setup is correct, but I'm not sure.) I then used a combination of the AMD Catalyst controls (aside, Nvidia software is better), Acer software, tools and even some Windows 7 . Try to get the range right first and then adjust from there. Rinse and repeat. For me the brightness and contrast on the screen did not have much effect as they do on my other screens (HD or otherwise), perhaps because the white LED backlight? After all, I think the screen looks good. My first observation of the washed out colors to see when I connected with right-out-of-the-box settings were gone. I used a pair of BluRays to check the colors etc and everything seemed fine. I think the key is to adjust as much as you can use the monitor controls (or not and just use the settings of 50% or default settings) and adjust using software. I seemed to have better results with software-based adjustments. It is not "perfect", since I'm not a professional calibrator and therefore can not test it with a colorimeter, etc., but it looks good to me. Other calibration with better skills can have a different opinion to YMMV. But all things considered I like this monitor. Other things: preset modes (standard, text, film, etc.) just pump the contrast and saturation in varying degrees. Some may find them effective, but I'd probably never use them. Not sure if the lower than average range of color is apparent to me, I guess I'll know when I AB with my CRT, not really doing any photo "serious" / video editing so that the can not matter. When hooking up via HDMI, my desktop was too large (icons off the screen, etc). I finally figured out that AMD software allows for multiple color space settings with this monitor (I saw four choices). I.
