Its a really great monitor that looks good from every angle I sit at the desk. It is VESA mount compatible, so worst case you could drop a few more bucks on a vesa mount that would suit your adjustment needs. I should mention to you that Acer (along with most other TV and LCD manufacturers these days) now refer to "Dynamic Contrast Ratio" which can be misleading to some people. Dynamic Contrast (or DC Ratio). It is really just a marketing tool that started a few years back when one manufacturer (Samsung I think) started advertising contrast ratios WAY above the standard ratios available from the other makers. DC is just a different way of measuring contrast, mostly with dark scenes in darker ambient light. Pretty soon, all the other LCD makers were forced to use the spec in self-defense. I don't know if there is any scientific formula, but a dynamic contrast ratio of 40000:1 would probably equate to a static or "native" contrast ratio of somewhere in the 8000:1 or 10000:1 range. Still, I would throw the specs out the window on contrast and go with what you have actually seen to look the best.
