I spend so much time on my pc that I figured I owed it to my eyes to have the largest reasonable display.

I read other reviews. I have an ATI 4290 on-board graphics using the ATI catalyst software.
Out of the box I got my VGA connection to work with out an issue.
I am not a huge sound person so I decided to save desk space and use the built-in speakers and volume on the monitor.
To minimize cables I switched from VGA to HDMI and removed my speakers.

The product works fine (with HD picture and sound) but took a little configuring to balance and effectively use Windows 7, ATI Catalyst, and the Monitor's capabilities.

-'s - The ASUS Quick start documentation is weak. There is major room for improvement here.

Other thoughts -
If you have two video cables plugged in, you will have your computer thinking you have two displays. Windows will autodetect and configure accordingly.

After discovering the multicables issue, I completely removed my vga cable from the PC and rebooted.

I got the same "black border issue" described by other people. I also got an oversized view which meant the computer was giving me an image too big for the monitor.

I fixed the situation:
1 Open the ATI Catalyst Control Center software.
2. Click the 'Graphics' drop-down menu, then click on 'Desktops & Displays'.
3. Then click the small picture of a monitor at the bottom left of the window and click 'Configure'.
4. This will bring you to the 'DTV' options screen. From here you will see the 'Scaling Options' tab which is the 3rd tab from the left.
5. You can click 'Scaling Options' you will see the Underscan/Overscan slider to adjust/eliminate the black borders around the screen.
6. I set my slider to Zero.

I also needed to use the remote control's middle button in the 2nd row to resize the screen to a 16:9 aspect ratio HD picture. Many people are describing symptoms that are indicative of a default 4:3 aspect ratio. Use the remote to switch it for HDMI.

Used for video production
Overall a great monitor for the price.
If you want to have a good monitor and not pay a lot you will be happy with the ASUS.

Now I want to got eat a fish taco.

Notes:
Had to set the up the monitor to get the look I wanted.
Not noted in the manual: Had to set some video card settings to get it to go full screen

I have no idea why there are flowers on the bottom of the monitor.
In the low light of the edit bay they don't look like flowers.

Great monitor
I bought this a few weeks ago and so far I really like this monitor. The picture is sharp, the colors seem true, and in general it's a very high quality product.

I don't like the placement of the control buttons on the top because it means I have to stand up from my desk, but the inclusion of a remote makes that almost a non-issue.

Good product my client will buy more
Good product my client will buy more. Installed and setup effortlessly, client is very happy with monitor and price was good.

Clear, bright, crisp + Great Price
The ASUS MT276HE 27" monitor is a great value. The screen is bright and clear. The controls are easily understood, even intuitive. The speakers are very good for built-ins on a monitor. I just love the clicker which allows complete control over the screen, music, setting, etc. and is great when watching NetFlix online. There is a slot on the back of the monitor to stow the clicker, which is well done and quite cool. The screen is bigger than many of my TVs, so watching movies with a remote-controlled 27" monitor running on a Dell 1750 laptop is fun.

The only thing wrong with the monitor is the stand... I know, I know - a weak point to make. But the stand allows the monitor to sag this way and that a bit and is not well-engineered from a stability point-of-view.

It ran great right out-of-the-box with no setup required. It replaced a 27" Acer which was really quirky. Thus the Windows 7 ready features of quick start-up are appreciated.

SUMMARY: Great value, good product, clear, crisp... A+ You will not regret buying one.

broken overhead projector, described as:"like new"
WHEN I NOTIFIED MR. SHIRAZ BADRDIN, OWNER OF "ONIEL'S", THAT THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR WAS SHIPPED BROKEN, SINCE I DID NOT FIND ANY BROKEN PART IN THE VERY TIGHTLY PACKED BOX, HE HAD A QUICK READY MADE ANSWER FOR ME:"CALL THE SHIPPER, THEY ARE INSURED". I TOLD HIM THAT IF I WILL CALL THEM I WILL THEM, THAT I THINK THAT IT WAS SHIPPED BROKEN,AND THEY SHOULD TNVESTIGATE THE PAST CLAIMS OF "ONIELS AND MR. SHIRAZ BADARDIN, I WAS TOLD TO SHIP THE PROJECTOR BACK, AND WAS PROMISED,TO BE FULLY CREDITED,ICLUSIVE MY SHIPMENT COST.THE RECIEPT OF .WAS INCLUDED IN THE PACAGE. TO-DATE I DID NOT RECIEVE CREDIT FOR ANY.IF THIS IS A METHOD OF GETTING RID OF DAMAGED GOODS,AND/OR GETTING SHIPPERS INSURANCE MONEY, IT SHOULD BE STOPPED!

Used for years...terrific product
Have used this product for years. Carried across the US by plane. Easy to carry, not too heavy. Take care with the bulb, which can be removed fairly easily. Runs on household current. Case has sufficient size to carry some markers/pens, etc. Not as small as some but a quality product.

good design, weak bulb
The compact design and portability of this overhead is excellent. I move it around every week and I love how quickly and easily it folds up. What you sacrifice is brightness. I wish the bulb were stronger.

sent unusable equipment
On May 12, 2010, I ordered a used 3M Model 9100 overhead projector from Oneil Imports in Carrollton, Tx. - I was so excited and pleased when it was actually delivered On May 17, 2010. We took it up to the church (for which it was ordered), to try it out - and when we plugged it in - and turned it on - were delighted to see it turn on and showed a large lighted square on the wall for our overheads. Then withing seconds of turning it on, it quit running. We tried several times to get it to stay running. It would not. - I believe this to be a defective piece of equipment - I would like a total refund of cost and shipping.

This company is not rated by the BBB. And to the BBB's knowledge this business had closed their doors - not so. I would not recommend ordering anything from this business.

I tried calling this company - two different phone numbers - both had been disconnected.

Better than my miniHP
I had an HP mini 1137NR that cause me many problems (there was not video output - I need to buy an extra cable; the LCD has broken after 1 year and there was not HP support outside USA)

I decided to buy a new netbook instead fix my HP (the price would be similar). I bought this Acer because it has 1.83 GHz Intel Atom N475 processor (the latest processor available in intel site for netbooks)

In comparison to my HP:

- Operational system:
Acer: windows 7 starter
HP: windows XP
I think that XP is faster when I use a program but windows 7 is faster to initiate.
- Keyboard
Acer and HP are very good, the acer is a little better
- Touchpad
Multi-Gesture Touchpad in acer is good but the quality of touch in HP is better
- Screen
I think that Acer has a better quality than HP; videos have better quality in my acer
- Processor:
Acer: 1.83 GHz Intel Atom N475 processor
HP: 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom N270 processor
- RAM Memory - 1 GB in both, but Acer is DDR3 and HP is DDR2. There was not information about upgrade memory in Acer site, neither in manual product.
- Acer has more USB ports (3 versus 2)
- Acer has a memory card reader that accept more types of cards
- Speakers are weak in both netbooks

I am very happy with this acer and I recommended it. In this moment I think that just 1 GB of ram is ok for my needs (internet browsing, skype, Office documents, videos - I could see DVD movies on my external samsung DVD recorder without problems). I use this netbook all the time and I am using my desktop just for downloads in Ares.

Warning
This model is sold with 1GB of DDR3 RAM. It is NOT upgradable to 2GB. I just had an exchange of email with ACER, and Their answer is that:" yes this is a limitation, and you should have known about it. This computer is only meant to to run Win 7 Starter."
It does not matter that it is delivered with "Windows Upgrade Anywhere."
So, given the current trend of all software to needing a lot of memory, I would not recommend this model.
And I would not recommend ACER, given their service or lack thereof. And misleading product description.
Upgrade capabilities are VERY important criteria.

Perfect for traveling!
I had been thinking about buying a 10" netbook for quite a while and finally did it! I've just had it a few days, but already I feel that it is just what I wanted for traveling. It is so small, but still very usable, and I love the red color! It has only 1 GB memory and 250 GB hard drive. That's not a lot of memory, but for my purposes I think it will be just fine. It was a great buy at Amazon!

Very good product
Very neat and compact PC. Only rub would be this model does not allow for a memory upgrade. With todays new software 1gig of memory may not be enough. However this little guy is easy to carry and goes with me on planes, trains and automobles.

Everything I wanted in a Netbook
I am very pleased with this netbook. I carry it everywhere...to play games, to get email, to download, to upload photos from my camera. It has more ports than anyone could use. I especially like the SD port as it makes it easy to upload my photos.

I will admit that I do have trouble typing emails as I have been accustomed to the ergonomic keyboard. But I do muddle along quite well and don't worry about my typos.

Couldn't be happier!

Warning!
After doing a ton of research about this netbook, I finally decided to buy it. I found a link on Acer's website that stated this netbook is capable of handling 2gb of memory but that they do not recommend or condone replacing any parts in the computer.

Well, I went ahead and ordered the ram module anyways with the netbook making sure it was exactly the right type. It was then that I found out why they don't want you to upgrade it. Let me explain:

First you have to unscrew every screw from the bottom of the netbook. Then, you have to carefully push in the clips around the keyboard holding it in place. After prying off the keyboard, you need to unscrew 3 more screws holding the bottom panel in place. Next, you need to loosen the bottom panel by sticking a screwdriver through some odd hole of sorts underneath the keyboard. Once a corner is loose, THEN you can carefully pry off the bottom panel of the netbook to access the ram. Whew!

Finally, I replaced the ram making sure it was properly secure, and then screwed everything back into place. When I turned on the netbook, it wouldn't even post let alone boot to Windows!! I don't feel like going through that ordeal all over again at the risk of breaking a component of my netbook. Thankfully, I have arranged to return the netbook to Amazon.

Long story short, don't buy this laptop if you plan on upgrading the memory.

On another note, the glossy netbook case is a fingerprint magnet and the touchpad is not bumpy as it appears to be from the photos. Other than that I would have been satisfied.

Overall, very disappointed!
