This system is competitively priced. Insensitive controls mean a limited range in the brightness and contrast settings, and performance is poor. Verdict A low-end, although adequate, monitor at a very reasonable price. It's a Plug and Play 17in. It has a dot pitch of 0.27mm and a 15.9in.
Intensity is fairly regular for each colour, but colour purity is below average.
Also, convergence of the three colours is poorer on the vertical than on the horizontal, particularly between the red and the blue, and a pronounced halo effect is apparent in brighter images, all of which leads to a relatively poor overall performance score. The AcerView 76e failed to impress during subjective tests too, although the picture is acceptable for general use. The monitor has the standard power-saving features, including VESA DPMS compliance and Energy Star support. The angle of the AcerView 76e can be adjusted to a maximum of 30 degrees vertical tilt and 180 degrees horizontal swivel. Weighing 17.4kg, it's a light monitor, which can make it difficult to adjust the rather stiff tilt.
