HANNS.G HU196D

Advantages: Cheap, easy to set up
Disadvantages: None really

I have 2 computers. One was almost always in a state of disarray. It was the machine that was being used to test boards and software on, so it was not my working machine. When my wife moved her office downstairs she took with her the better of the 2 machines and left me with the ratty one. As the monitor was almost next to useless I decided on a rebuild. The motherboard, memory and processor were fine, the hard drive was quite large, and the rest ...
...graphics card. This was replaced with a Radeon board, (reviewed elsewhere.) As the Radeon had a choice of outputs, digital and analogue, I could use my ancient monitor. This 17 inch monitor was huge and took up an immense amount of space. It also took great gulps of electricity! so it had to go. I had bought the Radeon from Misco, and their service was good, so I used them again. These are the main specifications that are understandable and useful ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent price, great picture quality, adjustable angle
Disadvantages: Slightly pants speakers

I use my computer for my work as a Music Copyist, so needed a monitor that was within budget (approx. £150), could give me the clarity on screen that I required, look good and take up far less room than my old, fat monitor. After shopping around both shops and the internet, I came across a review for Hanns-G computer products. The review told me that whilst Hanns-G made top-spec equipment, they sold for a much lower price than their main competitors ...
...to the competition, and therefore wanted to create their own foothold. Hanns-G it is then! That's what I decided, as it certainly narrowed down my search (so many monitors!!). As well as an excellent screen display, looks were important to me in my new monitor - as it's something that I will be keeping (hopefully) for years, until I need to upgrade. So, I was looking specifically for a Hanns-G monitor, that looked good, and was in my price range ... Read review

Advantages: graphics, overall appearance
Disadvantages: monitors

...into tower for me at least but then that means remembering to turn down the volume : ) the screen is huge, and the appearence is attracive. and smart. there is only one fault i have with this monitor. and that is the speakers. for every day use and video calls its more than adiquate however play music files and you realise the quality is less than perfect. if i dont listen to music i hardly notice problems with the quality unless it gets too loud. ...

Advantages: Cheap, solid
Disadvantages: Not feature packed, problems with high refresh rates, stand not height adjustable

I've had this for a couple of months now and its been awesome. Cheapest 19 inch monitor ever, does everything a monitor should do and for the price I can't complain. Although not as sharp as others I use (Hp ones at work are crystal clear) does the job nicely and takes up less space on my desktop than my old 19inch crt. Also has digital and analogue inputs. Not sure about speaker quality as I don't use them, but according to some they aren't much ... Read review

Advantages: Neat, large, cheap
Disadvantages: Chunky like a kitkat

They say it helps to have the thing in front of you if you're reviewing it, and never has that been so true as now. Standing proudly to attention, the HU196D is a beauty. With lovely round edges safe enough to bounce a small child on and wiring that slips silently away from the back of the monitor like a gentle stream, the monitor is extremely neat. I don't know much about computers and the specs, and I won't pretend to here, but one thing I will ...
...the NIA for monitors with less than 5% blink levels. And all that for less than 4438:5 energy output value... outstanding! In English that means that it's really clear and bright and stuff. I got it as part of a deal with my computer, but I'm pretty sure that this is one of the cheapest around for it's size, and considering I've not had a fault with it, it's spiffing value for money. I would say, however, that it is not the most repositionable ... Read review
