The Acer T230H is a 24-inch touch-screen monitor available for as low as $360. The monitor includes screen height adjustment, swivel, and tilt. Unfortunately, its performance, though not near the worst we've seen, cannot compete with the likes of the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 in games or movies. The T230H is fine at general tasks and includes a nifty touch-screen feature, but it's too pricey if you're interested only in surfing the Web and writing Word docs. Its touch-screen functionality (only with Windows 7) is an entertaining novelty, but without the option to tilt the screen back all the way so that it faces directly up, you will find your arms fatigued very quickly. The Acer T230H's disappointing performance means we can't recommend it over cheaper, better performing monitors like the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370. Design and Features The 23-inch Acer T230H is a 16:9 aspect ratio monitor with a dark gray bezel and a glossy, black foot stand. The sleek foot stand has two 9-inch long "toes" that extend out from the neck of the display, each at a 45-degree angle, with the full width of the span measuring 19.8 inches. Knocking the display from the sides yielded minimal wobbling, as the display's wide stance and 17-pound weight kept it fairly grounded.
The T230H sits on a stand that allows you to rotate from side to side as well as move it up and town. At the back, there are VGA, DVI and HDMI inputs. For audio, there's a separate input leading to the speakers if you're not using the HDMI port. Taken together, these features make for a relatively complete monitor, which is why it scores four stars in this section. To gain the famous fifth start, it would have had to go a little future and include accessories like a memory card reader or, a USB hub or even a webcam. As a general rule, touchscreen monitors have a response time of 5 ms at best, which means they're more suited to office use. The T230H, though, has a 2 ms response time, meaning it should be able to stand up to the demands thrown at it by gamers--or so the theory goes. In practice, Acer delivers. This is a very responsive monitor that can easily handle rapid movements without suffering from any blurriness. Its other strength is that its input lag is only around one frame on average, meaning it won't hold you back during multi-player sessions. The Acer T230H gave us an excellent surprise by producing the best colours we've ever seen.
