The Acer P205H is a 20" LCD computer monitor released in mid 2009. This monitor is capable of displaying HD (720p) images due to its 1600 x 900 pixel resolution. The aspect ratio of the P205His set at 16:9, meaning it's designed primarily for displaying widescreen video content and gaming, but it can still be useful for productivity apps and web browsing. The response time is rated at 5ms, while the refresh rate is rated at 75Hz. This configuration makes it ideal for watching movies, and even light gaming if required. Physically, the display is encased in a glossy black bezel. Video inputs include one VGA port and one DVI port with HDCP for DRM-protected content. Users without desktop speakers will likely find the integrated 1 watt speakers useful when required by applications or media. For the energy conscious, users will be glad to know the Acer P205H uses 28 watts of power, and less than 1 watt when idle.
