[Irishwhistle]

I'm not buying one or anything... just interested in what people think.

I went with good because totally awesome sounded a little too enthusiastic.

Wonder what sparked this?

I wonder...

Maybe there's been something wrong with the ones I've used in Best Buy... Or maybe it's just the bloatware... hate bloatware.

 

[Irishwhistle]

I stand here corrected. Must just be something personal.

I've had my Acer 22" monitor for over two years. No dead pixels and, overall, it's still in good shape. I'd say they're pretty good, but I haven't tried out some of their competitors products.

I agree they have A LOT of bloatware on them when you buy them but its not like thats difficult to take care of or anything.

Then that explains the in-store performance.

Best way to deal with bloatware.

I've had a few Acer's without many issues. My current Acer laptop only has one issue, and that's with the power connector coming lose (although I have yet to have it not charge), other then that for the price they are great.

Works great, doesn't it?

Acers awesome! If apple never was invented I would have got the Acer Ferrari 5000 instead of my MBP

Actually..I'll have to admit, my media card reader conked out on my acer a couple months ago. Bought a $15 replacement, good as new

The older Aspires are nightmares.

The newer ones aren't as bad I suppose.

Ah! Well those are the only one's I've tried I believe... so that might explain something.

I wouldn't say Acer is the top of the line brand, but it's also definitely not the bottom either.
