Acer H233H LCD Monitor

The low blacks were weak, and this disappointed us outright. There was not much discernment amongst low black level bars, and overall they did not go that deep. On the other side, whites were clear, but again, the contrast in the image that could make the image really vibrant was absent. So overall we can say that the brightness and contrast is average to decent. The good part is that the whites do not bloom at high levels, nor are there colorations or tinges, thus mostly 6500 K neutral color temp is maintained thereabout.

The good part of the monitor was the sharpness and detail. Fonts look very crisp and readable, plus we conducted our test of 1080 lines of alternating black and white, that can really show the monitors level of accuracy in detailing colors and minute regions, which this Acer did well at depicting.

For the movies and games playback we used Tropic Thunder HD file, and Prince Of Persia. The motion department was satisfactory, impressive rather. Very little motion blur and artifacts of the sort were encountered. With the contrast being weak, there was a certain washed out feeling. Blacks did not look too convincing.

Conclusion
This one is an affordable monitor at Rs. 13,000. But there are compromises in the grayscale luminance department. Simply speaking the blacks are not too deep and looks washed out a bit. The good things are the clear sharpness and well controlled motion scenes. Overall it might work as a nice office monitor for doing text and presentation work, and casual gaming and movies will pass, but anyone who is an enthusiast level video guy will want more juice for sure.
