Acer is one of the major players in the world of computers, and they have teamed up with exotic car manufacturer Ferrari in the past with blazing fast gaming notebooks that cost a bomb (to go along with your Enzo I suppose).

Design And Finish

The design of this monitor is exceptional on more than one level. The idea of an LCD monitor in Ferrari colors is seductive, but once it was out of the box and on the desk, we were already a little skeptical. Not that this monitor is shoddily finished-just the opposite. But you have to realize that Acer is going against the trends now being followed by other designers of IT equipment. Whereas the fashion at Apple, Sony, and Logitech follows elegantly simple lines, Acer has surprised everyone with this flaming-red monitor that's likely to contrast rather intensely with the rest of your office electronics.

But after all, why not? Whatever else you might say, the finish on this baby is remarkable. The red lacquer visible on the base and parts of the chassis is exceptionally well applied, and the gloss -black plastic parts are assembled with great care. The only slight criticism we might make here is the Ferrari logo itself, which is embedded in the lower part of the panel in the speaker bar. The logo is a little cheap-looking, and a better finish on the emblem would have made the product stand out even more.

Just to remind you: We now rate the design of monitors on a scale of 5. The quality of the finish and the care taken in assembly of the panel are taken into account.
