Works Great Right Out of the Box with No Problems & Looks Great
(5 out of 5) by Thomas Lee on Feb 24, 2008 (Sac)I purchased this Acer monitor for my MacBook so I had to get a mini-DVI to DVI adaptor which was not a problem. The product description does not mention it comes with both a DVI and VGA cable.
It is actually 1680 x 1050 though the title says 1600. When I purchased a couple of days ago (February 17, 2008) it was sold through Amazon and had free shipping but for some reason I see now it is sold through another vendor that is charging shipping but the price is still good. I paid $199 total.
When you look in the manuals that come with it there is about a page and a half of instructions, though the manuals are larger because of all the different languages. It it so easy to set up and use, nothing more is required.
It is nice to open a product and just plug it in and have it work great right off the bat.
The picture of the item on Amazon seems to make it look like it has a white or gray frame even though it is listed as black. It is all black. And with my white MacBook including white wireless keyboard and mouse, it is fine. The black front frame just make the image that more intense.
I am happy with this purchase. It even has a 3 year warranty which is pretty impressive for any items and especially a computer item.

Second one and still love this product
(5 out of 5) by Mike Meyers on Feb 8, 2008 (Seattle, WA USA)Not much more to say. I highly recommend this product. It has great resolution, great price. If I had to say something critical it would be that I can't seem to get it to render the resolution I want under Ubuntu (note that is an unsupported configuration), but that's more of an Ubuntu or Linux configuration problem. My windows boxes all work wonderfully and as advertised.

Beautiful monitor; great performance.
(5 out of 5) by Karl E. Hoff on Apr 5, 2008 (Carbondale, CO USA)I'm very pleased with this monitor. Plugged it in, booted the computer and it works. Settings take a little practice, but overall very easy.

Very Good monitor
(5 out of 5) by Luiz DeViveiros on Jun 4, 2007 (Providence, RI United States)Very nice monitor - large, good contrast, excellent price.
Cons: The height of the base is not adjustable, and the switching between analog and digital signals requires both signals to be connected (this is a pain if your desktop is on the digital input, and you were using someone's laptop on the analog, then took the laptop away; you won't be able to switch to the digital input until you connect something to the analog one).
