Hi,
The viewing angle is great - so far I've been looking at it from all sorts of odd angles and it seems to be fine. The entire picture seems to get uniformly covered with a little grey mist, but there is no patches of light and dark like in TN panels(I have it side by side with my old Viewsonic Va1912).
I got the AL2623W, but the specs sheets of both models are similar.
The Indian website has a link for this -
acer India - Products View
And the UK site specifications (more in depth) -
Acer - United Kingdom - Products
Acer - United Kingdom - Products
Also, while they claim it has a PVA panel, there is a certain amount of controversy about that. Witness the hardforum discussion -

Caveats
******
The specifications are not always the most accurate. My monitor came without a DVI input(most disappointed) even though the specification sheet claims it has one. Am going to write to Acer about that.
The warranty is for 3 years.
Also, someone mentioned the Apple Cinema 23" is a TN display because of the 170" viewing angles, but I think that is Apple just being conservative about their figures. I remember seeing an Anandtech review a couple of years ago(when they were most definitely using the LG Philips S-IPS), and they still claimed only 170" viewing angles. (
