If you are one of the many who have recently purchased the new Acer Gridvista range of monitors then you will be glad to know that it has a host of features that will prove useful to you. One of the most popular things about the Grid Vista is that it comes with a built-in Windows optimised interface, making using the monitor a rather smooth experience. The OS interface on the other hand is easier to use than any other monitor on the market and is highly recommended by many IT experts as an alternative to Microsoft. With a multitude of add-ons and tools pre-installed on the system, you should find it very easy to navigate around your desktop and achieve what you want from it very quickly. This is not always the case with many other systems on the market which can sometimes prove a bit daunting when trying to get around and perform tasks.
In addition to the Windows optimised interface and easy usability of the system tray, another feature present on the grid is the integrated boot media. One thing many people do not realise is that the Windows operating system has a tendency to cause a lot of slow boot times when it starts up. The Acer grid has a system tray which has a nice rolling action to help distribute the boot load more evenly between all parts of the machine. If you use one of the other models with a solid state hard drive (SSD) then you may find that your desktop may crash more often in the beginning unless you have a back up system. The system tray also helps to distribute the boot load by automatically rolling it over so that all parts of the machine are equally covered at all times.
It is worth mentioning that the integrated display port on the Acer grid is actually two separate ports instead of a single one as it appears at first glance. This enables the use of monitors, which are of greater resolutions such as 2560x1600 while still having the ability to connect to your personal computer without any degradation in viewing quality. If you are looking for a very compact monitor then this is definitely one to consider especially if you are using your computer to handle heavy duty graphics or video applications. One other great feature found on the acer grid vista is that the monitor stands very solidly making it a good choice for those who want to make sure they get a quality monitor system which is both durable and practical.
