Q: ok here it goes im planning on buy a monitor for my pc but im not sure which one is better can somebody tell me and explain me why that one is better? cause i love computer games and also good high quality movies ViewSonic VX1940w 19" that cost 219.99 or Acer AL2016WBBD 20" that cost in walmart 184.88
A: I agree with the first poster, the viewsonic is slightly smaller, but it has more than three times the contrast ratio (1000:1 static, 3000:1dynamic where the acer is only 800:1) which will make for blacker blacks and whiter whites. The 2ms response rate on the viewsonic means sharper motion (no ghosting or halos around moving images, this is especially important for gamers). Finally even though the Acer is a bit larger they both list the same resolution of 1680 x 1050, this means that while the screen on the Acer is bigger, so are the pixels, so you're not getting any more viewable area. The Viewsonic looks like a better screen. On a personal note I have a Viewsonic 22" and an Acer 22" working side-by-side as an expanded desktop and the Viewsonic has better colour reponse.
