Which is really a better bang for the buck, the Acer or the Samsung? Why or why not have the HD (Acer) vs. Samsung version?

I have the Acer C7. I chose it over the Samsung for a few reasons: I saved $50 by purchasing the Acer and had read reviews that the Acer had a brighter, truer display. The Samsung will probably boot up a few seconds faster than the Acer because of Samsung's 16 GB SSD. The Acer has more horsepower processor wise. Another reason to consider the Acer is because you can add Ubuntu Linux. For me, purchasing a Chromebook was an experiment to see if 100% (or close to it) cloud computing was for me and this was the cheapest way to find out.

I recommend the Acer Chrome - especially as a second machine. There are some things such as MS silverlight that are not supported yet. The free chrome apps available cover just about everything else.

The Samsung weighs less, has a longer battery life, a 16gb ssd and bluetooth. The Acer weighs a bit more, has a shorter battery life (although unlike the Samsung it is removeable so you can buy a spare or extended life battery), no bluetooth, a faster processor and a 320gb mechanical hard drive. Since the Acer is cheaper, possible to add RAM to, a perfect unit if you want to try Ubuntu, and runs Netflix since it uses an Intel chip it was the one I choose, but pick the one that meets your specific needs best.

The only information that I could find is that the AL2223Wd is silver (instead of black) and has a contrast ratio of 800:1 instead of 700:1. Both have the same resolution, screen size, and response time. Acer's web site does not even have information, that I could find, on the AL2223Wd.Seeing as the amazon reviews for both products are stellar, I am thinking that both of these are good products. Anyone have additional information?- Mike

Go for Samsung UN50H6350 50-Inch 1080p... Its a way better than plasma, also you will save on electricity bill. Plasma consume more electricity

I think if you can find the HD at a decent price I'd go with it. I got mine (Ultra HD) at Best Buy on sale for $169.99 plus I had $10 dollars in rewards coupons, so $159.99. I think there is about a $50 +/- difference in the two. I love the video on the HD, but I've seen two Ultra video reviews that look pretty darn good in quality. I'm thinking of getting my son the Ultra non HD for Christmas, just because he will trash it quick and why spend the extra $$$.

After having a dell for many years and making a change I'm not impressed with your machine. It's operating is not user friendly. To answer your question NO. I would never bought an Acer if I had tried it before I bought it.

Not a touchscreen. There is a good deal at Microsoft store for an acer v5 with a touchscreen for 500. It only has 4gb of ram and doesn't have a dedicated graphics card. If you don't want to run games or won't do any ram intensive work that is probably a better deal:more refined look and a touchscreen. If you want all these specs plus a touchscreen, amazon has an acer for 689 or in that range. I was already breaking the bank at 600 so I didn't go for that one.

I was waiting to purchase one of these but the lack of hdmi is a deal-breaker for me. I'd rather not go to the acer timeline 1810t but I'll have to if you don't follow through with the spec on your website.Bill (a sad, lost buyer)

I just ordered the HP W2207. I went back and forth trying to decide on both, because Samsung has a really great reputation. However, the HP W2207 seemed to have better reviews. No bleeding, tilts for both landscape and portrait views, etc. I saw over and over again where people said it was by far the best display out there right now at this size and price. I saw lots of consistent negatives for the Samsung 226BW: Bleeding; the VERY annoying blue light on the power button which stays on even in sleep mode; the loud, constant buzzing noise after adjusting brightness (most all said it's default brightness is WAY too bright and needs to be dimmed- which means there'll always be the buzzing); no tilting to portrait view; and no height adjustment. Although it can be mounted on the wall, the mounting equipment must be bought separately. The only negative comments I saw repeated with the HP were the possible glare if light hits the screen (because of the glossy screen), and it is more compatible with a PC than a Mac, although it works fine with Macs, there were comments that it is truly best suited for a PC. So it seems as if the HP2207 is probably newer and is overall a better buy. So we'll see how great it is when it gets here. Hope this helps...if you've not already made your decision.

You can open more browser tabs and run more apps. If you don't open more than about 10 tabs the 2GB model may be fine. I purchased the 4GB model because I previously had the Samsung with 2GB. The Acer C720 is substantially faster and more responsive, but it also has a faster processor.

The 5400rpm Best Buy's (NP700Z5B-W01UB) model HDD was a deal breaker for me. Besides Amazon's tax savings offset the price difference, so you get all 4 additional features (7200 HDD, 8G SSD, backlit keyboard, better video) for about $100 considering shipping and the current $150-$200 price difference. However the mention of the 5400rpm drive in S03 (and I'm sure S04) models made me think again. It's gotta be some difference with S01/S02 and the drive seems to be it. Another thing that one reviewer (of the S04) confirmed is that the 8G SSD is indeed proprietary tech (built into and inseparable from the HDD) and thus unavailable as a separate drive letter. I use Linux as my primary OS, so I don't care about Windows startup or IE speed. I don't think Linux would pick up the SSD at all. Which makes me go back to the stripped down Best Buy model. I'd simply swap its slow HDD with a full-size (256G+) SSD which can be had for $300 nowadays. I can live w/o the backlit keyboard and as far as the less capable video card, it's a business notebook, not a water-cooled gaming rig anyway.

Believe it or not I didn't know what one to get. So I called into Amazon. By the way, to me, and I am fussy, Amazon is the best. Alibaba is not American so screw them. Now back to the answer. So you want to get a new monitor for sure because they have changed also. I would have gotten a Gateway, I always have bought Gateway and never disappointed. However they cost more, so I got an LG 27 inch baby and I tell you its like magic. This computer is like a wizard and so fast. I am still learning 8.1 and all the tiles, but its not hard just do it. I had an Acer screen before and you can't go wrong with one of them. If you can afford it go bigger, this 27 is a monster and doesn't take up a lot of room. So either one, from Amazon I would say, Acer, or LG.

I don't know because I don't have any experience with that. It looks like the difference is the HD is a little thicker. Can't go wrong with either, especially considering the price.

The Samsung by far, but amazon's price is very high, circuit city carries this monitor for 379.99.

I don't see any difference. They both can do 1080P. They both requires to be powered by the adaptor the came with the tablet. Maybe you need to check out the Samsung web site directly.

Sony is better than Samsung as far as the processors and their color engines. I have studied hundreds of TV's and color gamut readings. Sony beats Samsung 2 to 1. I would by a Sony over a Samsung.
