Hey my friend Acer is horrible. My cousin got a Acer comp Q8300. The parts it uses are of no quality horrible quality. The mobo is locked doesnt let for OCing.

There is literally 1 BIOS option. their PSU is F-DATA and RAM is F-DATA. The case looks nice but its cheap parts and loads of money compared to building on your own.

I just bought this monitor this week. Here is my mini review of it.

I am gaming on it and I think its great. There is some back light bleeding along the bottom edge of the display but my previous monitor had some bleeding issues as well. The bleeding as lessened over time it seems, but I don't know how or why.

Aw cool thanks man. One question what color is the power LED, is it blue? Also is the monitor quiet or does it buzz?

And what does the quality of Acer comps have to do with their monitor quality?

I have three Acer monitors. I have never had a single problem with any of them.

Its the red pcb thats the problem...

 

[MentalIlness]

How far are you going to overclock your monitor ?

 

[mnewsham]

Its the red pcb thats the problem...

Blue is even worse D:

 

[zod96]

Lol I probably will overclock it so I can get 1MS out of it 🙂 I probably will ditch my Dell U2311 and get the Acer...

 

[SolMiester]

I want some of what he's on!

I'm afraid, that's his modus operandi.

 

[zod96]

So what would you guys do.

1. Keep the Dell U2311 $280
2. Go for the 27 inch Acer $380

It has a blue LED and I haven't heard any kind of noise or buzzing from it.

Now I have to really decide. The Dell U2311 I have now is pretty perfect. Zero dead or stuck pixels. No backlight bleed and color uniformity is perfect. Do I take the chance and go with the 27 inch Acer for $350 and sell the Dell for say $240 or do I stick with the Dell..
