Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: You'll soon find out why its cheap...

As I'm writing this review, Im looking at this display screen now as my words appear under a camouflage of finger prints and smudging. I'm currently at my college where I study, and my college has bought over 300 of these screens in recent years. The AG screen is by far one of the cheapest monitor screens for computers you can buy (hence why my college has so many). The screen, although resiliant to the aggresive use of students has so many flaws ...
...buy such a screen. The screen only has to be brushed and smudges appear which take a lifetime to 'work' out. Quite often, the colour contrast settings will abruptly change and you'll be left startled and quite scared as a thousand pixelated colours appear screaming out at you. This inturn causes you to have to reboot your computer to sort out the 'flaw'. The monitors are very heavy, movement is limited due to the alluminium alloy on the outside ... Read review

Advantages: Clear text, high contrast, good looks, portrait mode
Disadvantages: *Unsuitable* for 3D games

How good is this monitor you ask? - well depends what you want it for. If you spend all day reading text off the screen or programming etc - this is a good choice. Thats not to say you couldn't get an aquequate 19" monitor for £100 less than this model (e.g. AOC LM-919/929). On the 193T the text is sharp and the colour is resonably consistant from top to bottom. This is an important factor to me, I owned a Hyundai Q17 17" - regardless of the viewing ...
...start blue and fade to light grey/blue at the bottom. The portrait mode for reading text is amazing, being able to rotate the screen 90 deg, really reduces the amount of scrolling. It does come with software to pivot the screen. If you have an NVIDIA card then the NVIDIA tray icon (can do this anyway). The footprint is not that small, it is still around 8" deep. It has no additional features but a usb hub costs around £10 and could quite nicely ... Read review

I brought my Samsung 931BW LCD monitor around 5 months ago and after doing a fair bit of research (mostly PC reviews) I brought this one from currys for just under £150. Previous to buying this one I had a very old CRT monitor. The Samsung synmaster 931bw is a 19 inch Widescreen with a 1440x900 resolution producing 16.7million colours. In addition it has a 2,000 :1 contrast rate and a 2ms Refreshment rate which make it an ideal monitor for gaming ...
...want to check out the Samsung website (www.samsung.com/uk/) and enter 931bw in the search box on top right of web page. Setting up: Quite east to set up, you need to remove the back cover to access the analog (VGA) and digital (DVI) connectors, I've used both the analog and digital inputs, the LCD will detect and automatically switches to the the chosen input when the computer starts up. Once you've connected the power cord and RGB or DVI cable ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, many features, easy to set up
Disadvantages: Does not come with a wall mount

I have recently bought this monitor because my old monitor blew up. It's been a while since i have bought a monitor due to the fact they tend to last for years, so even tho i know a lot about computers i don't really know much about this type thing. My last monitor was a flat screen but i bought it cheap from a friend of mine, so i did'nt care what it was like, but when i looked at how much these kind of monitors were i looked into great detail on ...
...had to be cheap but i really wanted a large screen, when i saw this one it looked just as good as all the others but was a lot cheaper. So why was it cheap as far as i could make out it was just the make, I took a chance and to be fair it is excellent the picture is very clear infact when i watch a dvd on it it's better than our T.V in are living room. it has many features which are easy to use. The only extra money i spent was on a wall mount which ... Read review
