Samsung SyncMaster 191T Black 19LCD Monitor

Strengths: clear, Bright picture, There is a update for the Pivot software and also a updated driver on their homepage. I will say I had absolutely not problems on my XP Pro nor with my Win 98 before I updated

Weaknesses: I have not found any yet. I have not found any bad pixels.

Summary: I have check out and used many LCD monitors and even bought another brand and took it back. I have nothing but praise for this monitor. I run both the digital and the analog as I have two CPUs hooked up to a Belkins unit so I can switch back and forth. On my XP Pro I use ATI All in Wonder Radeon 8500DV. With my Win 98SE I use ATI All in wonder Radeon 7500. I use the Digital on XP and the Analog on Win 98 this way I never have to change any cords or what ever. I have always used a glare screen on my CRT monitor but I see no reason to use one on the LCD monitor, it is great without it. I just watched a DVD on the LCD and think it is as good as on the CRT screen. I did not see any ghosting as some reported. Yes it was a action DVD. I highly recommend this LCD Monitor and the price is very good for what is out there.

Strengths: aesthetics

Weaknesses: none

Summary: Great monitor for the price. The image on the lcd isclear, bright, and looks awsome. I had researched this lcd vs the viewsonic 19" but settled with this because of the slim profile and tilt feature.

Strengths: Size, clarity, refresh rate, little afterglow

Weaknesses: Price

Summary: These are still pricey, but coming down all the time. All I can say is that I absolutely love this monitor. I cringe everytime I go to work where I have a 17" CRT. I'd love to get a second 191T for dual head - the really thin bezel would make it a beatiful thing.

I have no complaints at all.

Strengths: gorgeous image, wide viewing angle

Weaknesses: pivot software that came with it crashed my computer, internet update available

Summary: This monitor is the best I've seen. It doesn't have the extras like USB ports or speakers, but I didn't want them on my monitor anyway. I sat it next to my other $800 17" Samsung flat panel monitor that is 8 months old and the image is clearly better. It has both digital and analog inputs. I haven't found any bad pixels yet.

Strengths: Style, ease of setup, clarity, sharpness, style, good height adjustment, great color out of the box.

Weaknesses: Three "nits" to pick - The power and video cord routing could be "cleaner". Also would like to have a 0 and 90 degree detents when monitor is pivoted. Setup and installation is a PDF on CD.

Summary: I spent a month researching my first flat panel display in person and on the web. In person, the Samsung 151/171/181 series monitors caught my eye immediately due to their thin bezel, and the display seemed to visually "outshine" the other nearby monitors with better color depth, sharpness and clarity. After about six similar experiences with the Samsung units over a couple of weeks, I went to the Web for reviews.

All the reviews of the Samsung "1X1" series were very positive, with a small number of folks knocking it mostly for ghosting in fast game play or DVD playback.

I don't play fast action games, but do fly several flight simulators on my PC, and the 191T works fine with them.

I do notice a small amount of ghosting on DVD replays when there is fast action against a dark background, but if I wasn't looking for it, I wouldn't notice it, and I have beccome accustomed to it without problems. The monitor is connected to an ATI8500DV with digital connections, so my experience reflects that configuration - there may be different results with the monitor's analog connection.

The pivoting feature of the 181T/191T monitors was important to me, and the monitor pivots easily by grasping the bezel edge on ether side of the monitor and turning it counterclockwise. A mouse click changes the display to the new orientation, and the monitor is ready. Having pivot detents would be nice, since fine tuning the pivot angle is a minor pain.
