With 25.5 inches of widescreen viewing goodness, the Acer X263WBI is possibly the big and beautiful display you've been after. Acer's excel series starts at a comfortable 20inch and sizes up to the X263WBI at the top end of the range. The 5ms response time is adequate for a display this big, so you can be assured of vibrant image display across the board. A native 1920,1200 resolution means you can see just about every icon you will ever need in a huddled corner of your desktop, leaving plenty of room for that beautiful widescreen background of choice. Friends will flock to the display from all angles, with a maximum horizontal viewing angle of 170degrees providing plenty of view for everyone. With up to 16.7million colors supported, quality video playback will be a breeze on the X263WBI. The monitor also includes HDMI connectors for the performance buffs looking for HD capability in a large display.
FeaturesThe fact that this is a 26inch desktop monitor is a big feature draw card by itself, and the increased 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, which is an improvement over lower end models, gives more accurate color display across the palette. Power consumption is quite high at 55w, but not unexpected given the physical size of the display. The monitor weighs 14.6lbs, which probably means you don't want to be lugging your X62WBI around to your nearest LAN party. VGA connectors are also available for those users with computers lacking HDMI inputs. ErgonomicsBig isn't always beautiful, but the X263WBI really does sit nicely into your desktop environment. Its sleek design fits in with most other Acer series, with the desktop stand being as unobtrusive as possible when holding up something the size of this display. Wall mounts are supported standard and you can also attach a Kensington lock to secure your monitor to your desktop environment, though it may take away from the overall look of the setup. SummaryNormally the exclusion of external speakers on monitor packages gets products a small markdown in score, but there is no sense in making this already large piece of equipment larger with the addition of side speakers. Plenty to like here for gamers and graphic design artists looking for a big display capable of large resolutions. The Acer X263WBI is almost the biggest we can ask for from mainstream monitors for now and has the features to make it an attractive purchase. Pros
