Yeah, not fond of em either.

Ugh... I really don't want another Acer monitor. My first, and while it was a cheaper one, was just so horribly okay... I just don't even anymore with Acer.

My old Acer monitor lasted 6 years, and the viewing angles were above average for TN panels (especially TN panels that were made in 2006).

Then I suppose maybe Acer went off the deep end.

Or I just had bad experience because I bought a budget LED-backlit super fucking bright as shit eye-blinder of a 1080p monitor...

The S211HL.

Practically every monitor comes as eye blinding. LEDs are more harsh than CCFL in general. Don't quote me on this, but the W-LED is generally an issue. W-LED is actually blue LED with yellow phosphors. Supposedly blue is part of the offending issue for eye discomfort, hence the low bluelight modes that exist. Which may be an issue to some people. Again, don't quote me on this if it's actually because of the W-LED being blue LED + yellow phosphor or something else.

Personally, the brightness I am comfortable with is about 60 cd/m2. A lot like to advertise 250 cd/m2, 300 cd/m2, or sometimes absurd 450 cd/m2. Out of box is in general always super bright. It's a bigger is better kind of advertisement despite it being useless.

My old Acer monitor lasted 6 years, and the viewing angles were above average for TN panels (especially TN panels that were made in 2006).

Eh, I have an old ass TN, 2006 or 2007 one. Viewing angles are still shit. Color shifts are pretty prominent for me to notice.

It's too bright.... at the lowest brightness. -.-

Flail the number epeen! is basically what a lot of companies do. Honestly I think the best range is 25-250. Eizo did some weird shit for EV2450 and EV2455 was 0.5-250cd/m2. You can't see anything. >.>
