Cheap 22 Inch LCDs
Hi Geoff,
Acer is a good make -this could be a real find. I've got a 20" and a 22" and am happy. I think these do not take DVI cables though. That could be a reason for the price. Also, Their policy says: # ** This item is warranted through the product manufacturer only. what's this? ** Dead Pixels Policy: Replacement or Refund for 8 or more dead pixels only. 8 dead pixels would be pretty bad. Perhaps they have a dodgy batch that they want to get rid of.

As long as the fab making panels, has a machine wide enough to make a 22" panel without a significant penalty to the number of panels they can lay up, there is no reason for it to be more expensive. If they were using an older generation of panel fab, then a 22" would cost a fortune due to the wasted (cut off) glass. So I'd say they got a wider machine :-) And remember that a CRT with a 22" tube weighs a ton. The glass used in an LCD is virtually weightless by comparison. One CRT of that size uses a lot more resources than a similar LCD. Paul |

The 22"s are the economy line. I think you'll notice for instance they're six bit not 8 bit color. They dither the extra colors. Not for photographers. Good for games and web browsing. I think the vertical viewing angle leaves a lot to be desired, so much so you won't see many 90 deg pivots on these models. |

Interesting info I guess that using a LCD for computer (primary use) and TV uses may not be as good as once espoused. Your point on colors also explains to me why color photos on CRT look better then on LCD. |
