CNET Reviews the ACER P241W

CNET has a great review on the ACER P241W low cost PC. The PC comes in at around USD380. CNET were no too impressed with it and recommend an alternative low cost PC. The most impressive feaute of the P241W is the brightness of the screen. CNET claims this is the brightest screen they have seen. CNET writes:

The Acer P241w can be found for as cheap as $380--a very fair price for a 24-inch LCD--and boasts a unique look and very bright image. Of the five 24-inch displays we've reviewed this year, we'd rank it fourth, but it still does some things better than its higher-ranked competitors. It posted the highest score we've yet seen in our brightness test, although we discovered it comes at the cost of producing full and deep colors and true black. At $380, it's the second cheapest of the five we've reviewed, with the V7 D24W33 coming in lowest at $371. If you wanted something a bit prettier, however, with a better designed connection layout, check out the BenQ V2400W, which can be found for $434. The most expensive of the lot is the $679 Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP. It's the overall best 24-inch display we've tested, thanks to its many connection options and outstanding performance. Unless you absolutely need the brightest screen for the lowest price, we recommend not the Acer P241w but the V7 D24W33 for 24-inch LCD bargain hunters.

The P241W does seem to be a decent product and another choice in the low price PC market sector, which is quickly becoming saturated.
