Conclusion:

The Acer P243WAid doesn't have all of the bells and whistles found on some of the higher-end 24" widescreen monitors such as height adjustments, pivoting, an integrated USB hub, or integrated audio, but it's still a nice monitor especially considering the price. Some of these higher-end models go for $400~600 USD, while the P243WAid is priced at a mere $390. In addition, it has a 2ms GTG, HDMI input, DVI with HDCP, and other features one would expect. The monitor's base and bezel is made of plastic -- compared to metal parts with other models -- but it's built quite well and are confident with its construction. We were also appeased by this monitor with its image brightness, no defective pixels, no uneven brightness, and overall quality. If you are looking for a 1920 x 1200 display with the features we have mentioned and aren't concerned about its lack of physical adjustments and plastic base, the Acer P243WAid is worth considering for your next LCD upgrade.
