Introduction

LCD monitors have exploded over the past year, especially widescreens. They started with 17" and 19" models, but now with the price drops 20" and 22" widescreen LCD's are becoming more of a standard now.

Packaging

The AL2051W comes in the standard Acer LCD monitor box. I still don't understand why Acer does not have a carry handle on these. Inside you will find the monitor nicely packaged with Styrofoam covered in plastic.

Getting the monitor out of the packaging it is covered by an extra layer of plastic and a piece of protective plastic over the screen itself. Getting everything out we have the AL2051W monitor, VGA cable, DVI cable, audio cable, and power cable.
