Which Acer 23” 1080p HD LCD Monitor w/HDMI & DVI is the real one? Which is the copy? Maybe you should just buy them both to be sure.

If you’re on the Internet, you probably know the story. The dark, terrifying story that comes from a transporter accident. For all humans are creatures of duality, their two sides held together by only a tiny piece of lace, or perhaps a delicate golden latch, and when that breaks, the monster inside is free to roam the halls of the starship that is our lives. That’s why we’re hoping you’ll be very careful deciding on your new Acer 23” 1080p HD LCD Monitor w/HDMI & DVI.

We’ll tell you first that there’s very little you need to worry about when making the choice between models. Both the H233HBMID and the X233HBID are equipped to handle HDMI, DVI and VGA. Both have a 5ms response rate at 40000:1 contrast ratio, ensuring a fantastic picture. Both can even work with your video game system or laptop. But one has a dark secret that the other does not.

The H233H has a pair of lousy 1.5 watt integrated speakers built right in.

Now, if you’re the kind of person who thinks “more” always means “better”, well, sure, rush for it. Fight off everyone who stands in the way of your conquest. At the end of the day, you’ll still be enjoying the same 1920×1080 resolution, but maybe you’ll feel like a better person for having those crappy speakers along for the ride. Or maybe, just maybe, that’s the trap.

For are we not creatures of great potential? Are we not beings made to transcend our base wants and desires? Could we not claw our way to the stars, if only we were to set aside our selfish natures and build a new society based around sharing what we need, rather than grabbing as much as we want? Are we not, truthfully, in need of own own inner Wesley Crusher, a delicate soul who can gaze upon cynicism with innocent wonder?

The choice between the two different Acer 23” 1080p HD LCD Monitors w/HDMI & DVI is one that each person must make for themselves. But know, before you make that choice, that it may define you, and place you firmly on the side of good… or the side of darkness. And we gotta tell you, darkness is not gonna be happy with those speakers at all.
