Acer H235H LCD Monitor

Acer has entered with a swanky new 23 incher LCD monitor, sporting a few brush strokes and extra hours in its aesthetic form. It’s called the H235H - a higher model than the previously reviewed H233H, this time with juicier rated specifications, which we will talk about shortly. There are already a lot of choices in this 23-24 inch monitor market, thus let’s see if this contemporary looking model can just nibble on market share, or actually usurp some glory.

Design and Features
The monitor comes fully wrapped in a gloss bezel, with a smoothly contoured back panel, tapering at the edges and bulging at the center. This back panel is not boring black, rather Acer has taken a feather out of LG’s cap, and made the back panel a darker shade of steel blue, this too with a glossy surface.

The speakers are at the bottom, and pump sound through a hidden vent which only is visible if you life the monitor up like a baby.  The whole frame comes perched on a round, similarly finished gloss black stand; with a joint that is decent in its grip but not super tight. There is a slight amount of wobbliness.

The screen can tilt up and down, but no swiveling is supported. The back panel has a very ubiquitous, large print of the Acer log, in a gleaming silver colored font. Overall the monitor does exude class, and surely looks quite modern and trendy. But the aesthetics are not the only thing with slick. The connectors available and features are also nice, with one HDMI in, DVI in, VGA in, and also a 3.5 mm EP audio in.The front right panel has touch sensitive buttons columned up, right above the power on switch LED, which itself is a push button located on the side. The LEDs are small, round, blue ones with a concentric ring around each of them.

As for rated specs, we have a 16:9, 1920 x 1080 screen, assumed to be a TN panel. The viewing angles are 160/160 degrees, while the dynamic contrast is a heavy 100,000:1. Brightness is measured at 300 cd/m2. The response time also sounds impressive at about 2 ms.
