Really wish I read these reviews
Everything stated in the other reviews is true. Sub-par colour, text disappearing from the bottom of the screen due to the viewing angle, really awful stuff. The overall glare is hurtful to the eyes and is impossible to rectify no matter how combinations of contrast and brightness are being used. Taking this one back to the shop tomorrow morning.
Edit - Quick addendum, Harvey Norman were great in their customer service, giving me a full refund.
Purchased in February 2021 at Harvey Norman Retail Stores - Electronics for A$129.00.

Worst monitor I've used
This monitor isn't great. In fact, it's awful. The viewing angle is very poor, the clarity of text is awful and the colour reproduction is shocking. Avoid at all costs!

Taking it back
This monitor is awful. The variation in contrast and colour with the slightest change in viewing angle is ridiculous and seems like very old LCD technology. The problem is exacerbated via the lack of height adjustment. Even moving your head slightly up and down the screen changes the colour intensity dramatically, so its hopeless for any home photo or graphics work. Hard to see why Acer even put this one on the market, as it really drags their name down.

Avoid! Sub $100 display but viewing angle reminds me of laptop screens from the late 90s!
Even at sub $100 inc gst in my opinion this monitor should be avoided.
I purchased it as it was the cheapest monitor I could buy in store and I needed a test monitor so I could see what was going on on my Linux server which has an HDMI out. For this purpose it functions but it is not a good monitor and certainly not worth $98!
The main issue is viewing angle. Think 1990s, early 2000s laptop screen! I thought tft manufactures fixed these issues over 15 years ago!
The good (Scraping around here!)
=======
- It is fine as a terminal screen for my hobby (text based interface!) and was the cheapest monitor in store.
- The plastic finish looks okay as these things go.
- It has an HDMI port which I needed (Cable not included)

Questions & Answers
EAP B.asked
Terrible. Agree with all the comments above. Extremely poor viewing angles, adjustments do not yield any desirable effects. I can't imagine how Acer would have produced such a sub-standard product. My trust on the brand has totally vanished. I have to confess I hadn't look at product reviews before I bought the monitor. I thought Acer should be OK, but I was so wrong.
