Acer D240H

The Acer D240H shares its design with the H243H. Other than a couple of feature differences and their prices, the monitors' designs are identical. The D240H includes two USB ports, a Compact Flash reader, and a SD card reader; none of which the H243H has. Both monitors include not only DVI, VGA, and HDMI, but also have the required cables for each connection. The displays have built-in speakers and perform well when playing games and watching movies. The D240H can cost as low as $290; about $50 more than the H243H. However, the D240H's $50 price difference is a bit much considering the only extras it has are the USB ports and card readers. Still, while the D240H's performance isn't in quite the same league as the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370, it matches the performance of the H243H and H233H. If you're looking for a good performing monitor with a large screen and useful extras at a price that--while not ideal--won't break the bank, look no further than the Acer D240H. Design and features The 24-inch Acer D240H is a 16:9 aspect ratio monitor with a glossy, black bezel and foot stand. The oval-shaped foot stand is 10.6 inches wide and 7 inches deep. The distance from the bottom of the bezel to the desktop is about 2.6-inches. The back of the panel is a smooth, black matte and is relatively flat.
