Acer from what I've seen is pretty vibrant,specs are good, and if you grab their P-series you will get 2ms response time and 3000:1 dynamics. Only thing i don't like is it doesn't have an adjustable stand and it's selection of inputs. I ended up getting an LG L246WP-BN instead. HDMI, 2 usb,VGA, audio out, and component. Wanted a monitor/tv type of deal and the acer does not have the styling as an LG or Samsung. 600 bucks everywhere but if your lucky like me you can score it for 450. Didn't want to spend that much but a good deal is a good deal.
