from N/A, www.newegg.com
because of this, text looks slightly less sharp than i would prefer it to.* minimal backlight bleed at the top of the monitor like every other monitor i've used.
from www.amazon.com
there is no discernible effect of this mismatch on using it to watch internet video or tv [that looks awesome on this large wide screen], but it does lead to ghosting of some text lines when used as
from N/A, www.newegg.com
furthermore those who say that the text is a little fuzzy i don't know what resolution they are on but with optimal everything (which it comes by default) all text is as clear as can be.
from www.amazon.com
for example, my 1600x1200 20" lcd monitor can fit more text on the screen (and is vertically taller despite the lower diagonal measurement) and is thus better suited for business work such as reading

Acer H233H bmid

$250.00 Est. at Amazon

from Timmmae, www.newegg.com
it's a lot easier to read text at max resolution than one of the smaller 21.5" monitors.
from mikiem, www.newegg.com
text is very readable, the viewing angle is pretty wide, & it comes with all the cables, saving you some cash.
from www.amazon.com
other pleasant details are touch controls instead of buttons and a special control for fast switching between text, game, cinema and user monitor profiles.
from PGHammer, www.newegg.com
hyper-crisp *text*, even at 1920x1080.

from hexatron, www.newegg.com
the illumination is ok for text (which is what this monitor is almost completely for) but i don't think images would work very well on it.

("i don't even have to use my glasses to read it!!")
from N/A, www.newegg.com
the blue power light isn't nearly as horrible as someone else stated - i was expecting a blazing led after reading that, but it's just a light.
from www.amazon.com
(hard to read and make out.) if you have a choice, buy a white or silver unit.
from N/A, www.newegg.com

from CJ, www.newegg.com
also it has a "text" mode which allows you to view text with little eye-strain.
from Barry O, www.newegg.com
crisp & clear text cons: am not a fan of the software to set up monitor ...

other thoughts: out of the box, this monitor was blindingly bright, but the "text" mode was just right for my taste.

from www.amazon.com
the vast majority of us have no need for the most esoteric features of the highest-end monitors, and if we did, it is doubtful we would be reading this review, anyway.
from www.amazon.com
also it has a "text" mode which allows you to view text with little eye-strain.
from www.amazon.com
even small text, as in "the fine print" to the right is razor sharp; my wallpapers from digital blasphemy are jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
from www.amazon.com
you can adjust brightness/contrast/color settings on your own or use their magicbright presets for text, internet, gaming etc.
from www.amazon.com
the resolution is fantastic and now i can lean back in my chair and still be able to read the font/text on the screen without straining my eyes.

but i can tell you that text is crisp and clear - documents and surfing.
from Jim Pratt, www.newegg.com
if you don't like the icons and text so small with this particular setting, change the settings in your browser and/or os font size settings only (zoom in, etc.).
