Acer monitor good choice

Thanks to all who replied on my LG monitor thread. DS2 has now said he prefers this monitor.

Your comments appreciated especially in comparisons to the LG monitor/tv

He does realise that this one does not have the tv tuner.

    The monitor is all well and good for Gaming and watching DVD/Blu Rays.

    But as you stated in your other post, your son might want to watch TV in his room on it. There are a few choices you will need to make.
    1. If he wants this monitor, to watch TV you will need to buy a freeview box to go with it.
    2. You might want to look at just TV's and not monitors
    3. Connect a Computer to the monitor and watch Freeview TV on tvcatchup

    Search for TVs on Amazon and you can find some decent ones 19'' - 23'' for less than £200, so see what your son prefers. Also He will not need a Full HD TV (so HD ready is fine) as with that small off a monitor the difference is non-existant. HD ready & Full HD only start looking different at 37'' ish

    Hope this helps
