Acer 99sl 19 inch CRT Monitor Review
Acer 99sl 19 inch CRT Monitor Review - PCSTATS
While the difference in price between a 17" and a 19" monitor is roughly $200, the benefit of a 19" is worth so much more.

On the On screen display

The OSD (on screen display) for the Acer 99sl is typical of the menu's coming onto the market these days. No frilly graphics, just bluescreen blue and greenscreen green backgrounds with standard ISO icons to depict the various settings which can be adjusted should they require it. All monitor options are controlled from within a small onscreen display menu using two function keys on the front bezel of the monitor.

Attempting to alter all of these settings by the old-fashioned blinking LED's would just be insane, and the monitor would have a control panel that rivaled a 747!

Features of the onscreen display include:
  1. Luminance
    • Contrast
    • Brightness
  2. Geometry
    • Horizontal Position
    • Horizontal Size
    • Vertical Position
    • Vertical Size
    • Rotation
    • Pincushion
    • Unbalance
    • Trapezoid
    • Parallelogram
    • Top Corner
    • Bottom Corner
  3. Colour
    • 9300K
    • 6500K
    • 5500K
    • 7100K
    • 11500K
    • Colour Preset mode
    • Colour User Mode
  4. Recall Geometry
    • Recall preset Geometry settings
  5. Manual Degaussing
    • Removes colour shading by magnetism
  6. Miscellaneous
    • Horizontal Moire
    • Vertical Moire
    • OSD position
    • Language (German, French, English, Spanish, French, Italian)

Again the controls on the front of the panel are as follows: i-key, brightness/contrast, power, and two function keys.

So how do all these features stack up in the real world? Is this monitor worth the buy?
