Summary

This one was unexpected. A friend loaned me an Apple 20-inch Cinema Display widescreen monitor to get my opinions regarding its image quality. After just one night with the monitor, I gave him my verdict: gorgeous. However, there’s more to it than...

Strength

Drop-dead gorgeous image quality in a beautiful package; 16:9 aspect ratio

Weakness

USB hub didn't work with my PC; awkward location for hubs; almost no controls

Bottom Line

If image quality is top priority, this is the best LCD monitor available today. However, it has few controls and its USB hub would not work with my PC.

Strength

Relatively Inexpensive at the 20 inch LCD mark. Sleek form-factor, made of durable aluminum. Simplistic.

Weakness

Sacrifice some features for form-factor.

Bottom Line

The bottom line is that is even though it has a weak backlight, and more mac-oriented than PC oriented, ACDisplay can prove its worthiness within the first few days.

Not many adjustments, only one video input, expensive
