...there for reviewing is the Philips 190cw7cs, 19inch widescreen. I mostly seem to use my computer for work these days but I do find time to watch the odd downloaded movie on this monitor and have also watched various sporting events through my TV tuner when her indoors wont let me watch them on the TV. During all of these activities and a small amount of gaming this monitor has performed admirably. The pc I am using this monitor with is a Sony built ...
...X1650 Pro Ultimate Edition graphics card. I can vouch for the clarity of picture with this monitor as the previous monitor I used was the original Sony monitor that accompanied the pc which I thought would be hard to beat and whilst I am not saying this beats the Sony I am saying its a very good match for it.

Advantages: Clear screen, easy set up, cheap
Disadvantages: sometimes text unclear.

I recently purcahsed this monitor from John Lewis at a very reasonable price, lower than i see it available today. The monitor itself was ready to go straight from the box.
