Acer H243H

Acer H243H

The Acer H243H is a 24-inch version of the H233H. Both monitor's are similar with only price and a few design minor differences between them. Acer sells the smaller H233H for $209, while you can find the H243H can for as low as $240. The monitors include DVI, VGA, and HDMI connectors as well as the required cables for each; a welcome novelty we hope more vendors start including. The displays have built-in speakers and perform well when playing games and watching movies, with the H243H having a slight performance edge thanks to its low black level. Like the H233H, the Acer H243H is a great, cheaper alternative to the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370; however its good performance is not quite in the same league as the XL2370 is. Design and features The 24-inch Acer H243H 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 monitor's bezel to the desktop is about 2.6 inches. The back of the panel is a smooth, black matte and is relatively flat. The panel measures 1 inch thick with its connection options and ventilation system adding another 1.5 inches of thickness, bring the full thickness to 2.5 inches.
