what u opionion? i think it look good

yeah, it look good

lex, have you compare the acer monitor with other brand?how does it look like?

Yup, it looks good..

Its pretty good actually, I've always like Acer's almost pure "white" since I've also had an older Acer 17" monitor (used as work monitor) which is "paper white". The colors are very strong especially the red and green tones. Compared to my BenQ which has kinda "warmer" white and more bluish tones. And compared to Dell ones (the 19" widescreen model), the Acer colors look more vibrant than Dell's somewhat dull looking colors. Its less intense compared to a Samsung 19".. The horizontal viewing angle is kinda good too when going from left to right.. bit better than my BenQ 22", maybe its due to the shorter length/width I'm not sure.

many people in newegg are complaining about the flimsy stand. there's one guy saying that if u bump your table, the lcd stand only prevents it from falling forward, but not backward.

is the stand really that bad?

Funny that they should say that. I never bump into my table.

Jokes aside, the stand is a tad bit flimsy, nothing much we (consumers) can do about it.

The stand design is almost the same as Dell, you can see the "leg" design... Except Dell's stand is heavy.

So how bad exactly is the stand? How vulnerable is it from falling down and the whole thing goes 'piang'?

I don't think its that bad. It depends on how hard you knock/bump/whack into the table.

i have this too.
bought it last november for rm470.
i saw at all it last month for rm399.

great lcd, good for gaming and work.

Its not that flimsy.. Pretty stable actually, it will take an extremely hard knock to even try to topple it.

Maybe because the panel is heavy and a slight shake makes it looks flimsy?

The "centre of gravity" determines its stability..

Would older 4:3 20" fare worse? They are much taller.

More or less the same, depends on how they design the base stand. I have an Acer AL1717, a 4:3 screen, still haven't made it fall despite the numerous knocks on the table when moving PCs around the table.

intentionally or un-intentionally?

I had a Samsung 740BF. Stand is round. No issues whatsoever.

I think the stand is not an issue at all...it looks ok to me...

Dell also has a similar design, right?

Un-intentionally..

Yups, already mentioned.. or refer to the attached picture.
