While the difference in price between a
17" and a 19" monitor is roughly $200, the
benefit of a 19" is worth so much
more.

Acer 99sl 19" Monitor Review
If you are a graphic artist or just another bloke in the
ever evolving world of the web, chances are you spend a lot
of time starting at a computer screen. While the difference in price between a
17" and a 19" monitor is roughly $200, the
benefit of a 19" is worth so much
more.
How can
this be you wonder? Well screen
real estate is significantly larger on a bigger screen because the resolution can
be bumped up to 1280x1024 or even higher with making all the text really
tiny. The more you can see on your desktop, the more you can work with -
technically speaking. Basically a 19" monitor is an investment in
productivity and at the very least, lowers the strain on your eyes if you
have a high resolution set.
Now getting on to the review! Previously
we reviewed the 19" ADI Microscan E66, which faired very well in our evaluation. This time
around we will be reviewing the Acer 99sl, a 19", 0.26mm pitch short-length flat
square tube monitor.

If you are working an old
version of windows, and it doesn't recognize the 99sl, you can get the
drivers from www.acerperipherials.com.tw They are
not entirely necessary from our experience in a Win98SE environment
where most of drivers are included with the OS.
