The only new thing to my system is the surge protector that I got last week as the other one was shot and giving me trouble when I tried to turn on the computer, which is now resolved. I unplugged the monitor from the computer and plugged the power cord into another outlet and achieved the same result, although 1 outlet gave me nothing. We have no information, though, as to when or whether that will happen.I restarted my computer with my Acer v193w monitor and when it came back on, the monitor was black and the power light was flashing amber. If Acer ever does add this model to its online Web site, we expect it will be accompanied by the usual array of driver downloads, FAQs, and other help. Still, we're told that it's backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty, and includes toll-free phone support from Monday to Friday from 5 a.m. Web site, to include this particular model. The p191W came out in early August, but Acer still hasn't updated its support Web page, or even the main product section of its U.S. It fared better than the NEC on almost all of our image quality subtests as well, making it the clear winner, unless you really want integrated speakers. Our biggest issue was its uniformity, in that we found a few areas susceptible to light bleed as well as some darkening toward the top of the screen, but none of these issues was so irritating that it turned us off of the display. We found small text readable down to 6.8 points. The only display that outpaced it on our overall image quality test was HP w2007, a 20-inch model that costs $260. We're glad to report, then, that the p191w performs its expected function very well.
But as far as extras, there simply isn't much more to this display beyond its expected function. You get standard DVI and VGA inputs, as well as cables for each, which we always appreciate.
With no HDCP-compliance and no speakers, there's little for us to talk about in terms of the Acer p191w's features.
