Acer H213H Review

This review is for the Acer 21.5" H213H monitor.  This monitor has a glossy black bezel and built-in speakers.  The video on the monitor is nice.  Though it was a bit difficult for me to get it tuned to how I wanted it to look, the default settings weren't that great.  I don't do any gaming, so I can't comment on that aspect of the monitor, but it's full 1080p resolution, in conjunction with the HDCP allows Blu Ray video watching at full resolution and the video looks pretty good.

However, the speakers are worth about 3 cents, I don't know why Acer even included them with the monitor.  First of all, they sound really bad.  Second of all, when the monitor goes into standby, the speakers turn off as well, so you can't walk away from your computer with your music playing and expect it to keep playing while the monitor goes into standby (which I do quite often).

All in all, this is a pretty good monitor, but don't plan on putting away your current speakers when you order it (like I did!).
