Acer H235HBMID review

some time last summer I purchased from play.com an Acer H235HBMID 23'' PC monitor for 120£ days later the price jumped to approx. 180£ and a few months later the price is around 190£. The price jump might be understandable if we factor the fine LCD manufacturers need to pay due to the cartel they formed to harm European customers.

At the original price, this is a hell of a monitor! It has its short comings, such as bizarre power switch, little bit confusing touch controls (which you get accustomed to) and limited movement but hey I can live with that.
I've been using it the past few months for general purposes such as Internet browsing and moderate gaming all with superb results. Great colors, fast response.
Initially when i used it with my laptop, the text would be blurry. But after trying it with a couple of other laptops and desktops it showed no problem. So the culprit was my graphics card, an Intel 945 express chipset.

Sensitive consumer

I wanted to buy an electronic device to use with my computer network at home and searching through Ebay, and Google shopping I located two shop that had the best prices on it. One on Ebay and one through google the www.digitalpromo.co.uk having a look through google again for customer reviews on digitalpromo i managed to find two both of which were totally negative about digitalpromo. On the other hand, the Ebay shop had a 99.8% positive record. Despite the fact that this was 5£ more expensive, I decided to go with the best reputation rather than dealing with a seller who might live up to his bad reputation.
