FYI, no HDMI and only 1920 x 1080 Not that I would expect a perfect monitor for $130...but I would pass on this.

As for the resolution, anything greater than 1920x1080 is double the cost on Newegg. The reviews on the color quality of this monitor would concern me though.
The 23" ASUS VH232H doesn't seem like too bad of a deal. It's cheaper after promo code and rebate ($124.99), and it comes with DVI, HDMI, speakers, and a five-egg rating. Food for thought.

Only 1920 x 1080? No other 24" monitor has a higher resolution. As for no HDMI, you can buy a DVI to HDMI adapter for $2.26 on Monoprice. I don't anything about the quality of Acer monitors but $130 seems like a pretty good price even for a low end 24" monitor.

This monitor is only 200 nits, so it will probably not be great in a very bright sunlit room next to a window. It would be ok for standard indoor rooms.

ASUS VH232H is not the LED monitor.

I'm sorry, but there are plenty of monitors with higher resolution. Also, the nexus 10 and ipad both have pixel densities that blow this away. I didn't give this thread a red or anything, just posted the resolution and said I would pass. I personally am tired of low pixel density monitors, and would like to start seeing 24" monitors on par with tablet pixel density. I don't mind paying 2-3 times the price for all those extra pixels. I stare at monitors for a living and the more pixels the better. For playing games or watching movies, this monitor would be great.

Unless you keep your monitor directly in front of a window (and who would want to do that), 200 nits should be more than enough brightness. I use a U2412M, and keep the brightness at 0-5 out of 100 in the evening (your pupils dilate in a dark room to take in more light, but if you've got a single bright light source in the room (e.g. a monitor) your eyes will take in too much light), and 12-20 out of 100 with blinds open at high noon. Anything over 35 or so is too bright (save maybe for watching movies) for me. So I'm not getting anywhere near 200 nits.
If you do some research, your monitor brightness should not exceed your environment's ambient light. Eg, if you hold a sheet of paper up next to your monitor and the monitor is brighter than the paper (under comfortable lighting), you're asking for strained eyes.
