Good afternoon all, hopefully this week has been kind to you. If you’re not familiar with the Product Spotlight pieces we run every Thursday then this is just a space where we can recommend products that we think are worth your attention but that don’t get too much hype or recommendation. Often there are products our staff has bought and enjoyed or just things we think don’t get the attention they might deserve.
This week, out spotlit product is a 23” Acer display. It’s marked down for the week by 7% to €139, which should be welcome news for anyone on the market for a new monitor (we had a long conversation about this on Twitter a few days ago) or even a spare monitor for a dual display setup.
As you might expect it’s 16:9 and is capable of 1080p (or FullHD). Moreover the response time (5 ms) is nice and fast and should be enough for anyone but the most dedicated of hardcore gamers to be perfectly satisfied.
The input is VGA too, which means that with the relatively inexpensive addition of a single cable you can hook it up to an Xbox 360. Pushing console connections over to monitors is a tactic we’ve grown fond of if only because it frees up TVs. It’s like buying peace and quiet in a crowded house
Anyway, that’s all the detail I can really give on a display before I just start throwing bundles of numbers and measurements in centimeters at you guys, so I’ll leave you with this link to the Acer 23” detailed product page instead.
Hope you guys like it, at €139 it’s a solid deal.
