Does anyone know if there's a protective film over this monitor when it ships? I just got mine and I can't tell. Thanks.

Mine did, yes. And it was pretty obvious--it had little tabs hanging off the sides.

No film on the screen itself. It was shipped with a thin foam sleeve over the monitor.

I don't see that effect, but you should probably ask someone else. My eyes aren't perfect, and it might be something I don't notice. I can't say that I've ever seen that effect before. I've always had better-quality monitors, and I can say that I love this particular monitor very much. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it.

Impede clarity of screen? Didn't know such a thing was possible... only thing bad I can say about the screen coating is it needs Windex more often than I expected (that or it's just me being OCD about it)

sorry it has taken so long, I really like the monitor. It is more of a glossy picture rather than a matte. But it beats the heck out of what I had.

I purchased this item and am very happy with it. The glare is not an issue for me. I do not have or need non-glare film, but its touch is sensitive, and I believe the film would work fine. It has best clarity of any of my 7-8 monitors.

I have a similar problem.. but it's not in the red portion. Mine looks like it's separating from the black edge that meets the screen edge at the bottom portion of the bezel. Amazon is sending out a replacement as we speak but I hope this isn't going to be in the replacement as well.

Mine got a vertical and horizontal lines at the center of the display and I suspected that the damage is from shipping since Amazon did not double box it. Anyways, just get onto your amazon account and ask for replacement then amazon will ship you a new one. My replacement is double boxed and came in within two days.

mine did not have a coating. it may be a protective film to be removed after shipping.

I didn't get that on this monitor, but I've had it on other Acer monitors before. contact Acer and they should honor it under the first year warranty as a screen panel defect.

Ivan had a legitimate question Cliff with a sarcastic answer from you. My monitor has the same problem and is worthless at this point. If we figure it out I will fairly rate this product. Our security system is a high test system and not from the big box stores.

I'm a pretty dedicated gamer myself and I've had the monitor for a few weeks now. I could hardly notice anything personally. However if you really don't like the colors you could download the proper monitor color profile online and it will supposedly make it look great. Although I never bothered because it was fine to me. And I have no idea what the angle problem is. If you mean is the screen a little tilted or whatever I'm going to say that mine is perfectly fine. Hope this helps you make your choice.

I would order from amazon or a prime reseller to be on the safe side. I got mine 6 months ago and at that time they shipped with no additional protection. I had to return the first one.

You're welcome! I love this monitor. I've bought two already and might be purchasing another one. :)

Same thing happened to me but within 2 weeks. Luckily I hit the return period right on. The monitor itself does have a warranty though through the company itself that should be covered.

Mine is absolutely silent, but I do not have screen protector film installed. I don't know if you do, but if so I suggest removing it.

Thank you so much, everyone!! I really appreciate your replies :). I went ahead and ordered a screen.
