Acer AL1714CB-8 17" LCD Monitor
Performance:
The only assembly required is to attach the LCD to its base, which is quite easy, followed by connecting the power and video cables. The OSD (On Screen Display) menu items for adjusting the different aspects of the display include brightness/contrast, phase/clock pulse, horizontal/vertical, color temperature, and language selection. Another nice feature about Acer LCD displays, as with most current generation LCDs, is the auto adjustment feature that can be activated from its designated button or when the device is powered up, it goes through its auto configuration cycles.
