Have you ever owned an Acer?
Never owned one myself, true, but I work with Acer computers on a daily basis and they are built poorly with low end components. I'd say about 1/5 of them have something wrong with them right out of the box. Typically this is either various led lights not working, the mouse being broken, or the hard drive broken. As for their monitors, they have a cheap look/feel to them and are manufactured much the same way as their desktops and laptops are. Also keep in mind that reviewers have played around with a product for 1-4 weeks, not months or years when problems and issues occur. For the 1.5 years that my store has carried Acer I've had consistent problems with them and I cannot recommend any of their products to people es[ecially when it's not hard to find something better for about the same price.
