Enjoy high-definition visuals with this Acer T-Series 23" widescreen flat-panel LED monitor that features Windows 8 10-point touch capability for easy navigation of Web pages and more. The 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio delivers brilliant colors.

I bought this monitor twice from Best Buy and twice I took it back. The first time I bought it and enjoyed the picture quality, yet not top of the line (not anywhere near the U2711 from Dell). I also enjoyed the touch functionality, it works flawlessly and makes Windows 8 that much more enjoyable.
The issues that I have with the monitor, is the fact that it wont sit completely upright and dust was trapped under the glass. The monitor always has a slight tilt backward. When sitting in a normal position at a desk, this becomes bothersome to me. The biggest issue, was the fact that there was dust trapped under the monitor's glass. It wasn't just one or two specs either, there was quite a few specs of dust. This dust was worse than a bad pixel, as the dust was larger than a pixel and more distracting. I eventually took the monitor back. Several weeks later, when Best Buy got more stock of the monitor, I decided it must have been an isolated incident and bought another one. I took it home and right away noticed that AGAIN there was dust trapped under the screen.
Needless to say, I now have a distrust for Acer's quality control and will be buying a touch monitor from another company when availability increases. I have read reviews from other buyers, on other sites, that have had the same dust under the glass issue as I.
What's great about it: Touch functionality
What's not so great: Dust under the glass, no fully upright position
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Where to start... The Energy CB20's have a better sound than the Bose that I have heard... Not much suprise for the audiophile out there. These deliver an extremely nice mid sound, nice low to 60ish Hz... I would recommend setting your crossover to 70 though. The high are great. The build quality is AMAZING.
I bought two of these and two of the CB10's. After hearing the CB20's, I took back the 10's and bought two more 20's. I got these all four on sale for $250 a pair... what a deal it was. I highly recommend these speakers. I was going to buy two sets of Bose speakers till I noticed (with the gill off) they were cheap paper speakers. Then, I looked at these and they just looked much higher quality and sounded a million times better. These are amazing speakers. Use at least 14 gauge speaker wire with them.
What's great about it: Sound quality, build quality, warranty length (5 years), power...
What's not so great: Actually.... nothing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This wall mount is plagued by a faulty tightening knob. This is the screw that tightens the monitor so that it wont tilt (or sag) on its own. I like the fact that you can tilt and turn the monitor, but the plastic parts inside keep it held in the position desired. Instead, as other reviewers have stated, the monitor slowly starts to droop and sag to one side. In the end, I took it apart, pulled the pin out, and just tightened the middle piece completely down. This made it more sturdy and provided maximum tension for the monitor tilt adjustment. Overall, I recommend that a potential buyer steer clear of this wall mount.
What's great about it: Fully adjustable. You can adjust it in every possible direction.
What's not so great: The tension mechanism is extremely flawed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This game has no option to install to the hdd.

I have contacted EA support because there is no option to install this game to the hard drive. They told me to clear the system cache, and take back the game to try another one. I tried both of these options and nothing would work. I like to have my games installed on the hard drive to prolong my xbox's lifespan. This game was poorly designed to not support hard drive installation and therefore gets 1 star only.
I gave it 1 star because there is no way to give it 0. Plus, the games are fun If you like the sound of the disk drive spinning in the background.
I would only recommend this item if the person does not like to install games to their hard drive.
What's great about it: Fun games
What's not so great: The disk will not install to the hard drive. There is no option to do so.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
