Acer AL2216Wbd Versus Acer AL2216Wd

[Kyzer]

Hey everyone!

Just wondering which 22" LCD monitor is better, the Acer AL2216Wbd

or the Acer AL2216Wd

Also, a reason why one is better than the other would be much appreciated

Thanks!!!,

Kyzer

One has built in speakers, one does not. One is black (no speakers) and one is silver (with speakers). For gaming I assume you would want better sound than the 2x 1.5watt speakers on the silver monitor. You'd be using a good set of headphones or surround speakers. For connectivity the black model lists it's DVI as DVI-D with HDCP, the silver model just lists 1 DVI connector (does not specify DVI-D or HDCP). The black model lists it's power consumption as 55W, the silver lists only 44W. The silver model comes with an audio cable, the black model does not.
