Title: Not so hot Date: April 22, 2009
ProsPrice. Design. Style.
ConsTerrible picture. At first I thought it was video drivers or maybe that the Dell system it was on didn't have a DVI port. But I've tried it on another system with DVI and it still looked terrible. The brightness of the image from top to bottom is very uneven. No matter what angle it's viewed from, the bottom is bright and clear and the top is dark.

Review:I'll be contacting Dell to exchange this unit as it seems like it's just a bad monitor. Every other Dell monitor I have works perfect.

ProsGood looking, image quality is about as good as any other flat panel I own. Ubuntu 8.10 recognized it instantly.
Consit's really about 17" tall. OpenArena did not like this at all, resolution looked good, but the mouse locked up.

Review:I will do a complete re-install when 9.04 comes out. Photo was taken with my HTC Touch phone which has the worst camera in the world.

Title: Possibly a good purchase Date: April 22, 2009
ProsI think the monitor is very good, but I can't honestly rate it because it is not compatible with
my current computer (Dimension 4400).
ConsI cannot set the resolution to 1440 x 900.
The video card in my computer is not compatible
with this monitor.

Review:I'm hoping to receive a good offer on a Dell
computer to use with this monitor.

Title: So dissapointed Date: March 22, 2009
ProsPrice
Easy to hook up
Nice for gaming & watching movies
ConsColor quality stinks

Review:My husband has a similar model & the picture & color quality looks nice on his with his gaming. I was excited about getting mine. Boy was I in for a major dissapointment. This is my first LCD monitor. I noticed that the colors look darker towards the top & get lighter on the way down. I got ahold of tech support & tried different settings, updating drivers & nothing helped. Dell sent me a 2nd monitor. Hooked it up & the color was a little better but you could still notice the colors being darker at the top. The 2nd one is going back & I ordered a different model. I mainly use my computer for pixel drawing in paint shop pro so I need to have great color quality. This monitor just does not cut it in that department. After doing some research, I realized I need a better monitor then this type. It is good for surfing the net, watching movies & playing games but if you need something for graphic design- a big NO.

Title: Just perfect Date: March 9, 2009
ProsI was lucky to purchase this monitor on President's Day so I got it for $119.99 plus free shipping but I think it is still a bargain at the regular price. I have just a small amount of room for a monitor on my desk or I would have gone for a bigger screen. Then again, the bigger the screen the further back you need to be to be able to really read it easily. So I am more than happy with the 19".

Title: A super monitor for the price!! Date: March 2, 2009
ProsA delightful 19" monitor for the price!!
ConsA tad too bright for my tastes; and, of course, settings are cumbersome to modify.

Review:Although my XP-equipped cheapy Compaq suits my needs quite nicely, I was craving a desktop that operates on Vista--so I bought a another cheapy Compaq. Since I had always wanted one of their computers, I shopped Dell first; but, at the time I finally succumbed to my passion, Circuit City had a model that was $150 cheaper than a comparably-equipped Dell.
Naturally, for my new toy, I needed a new monitor; and, once again, shopping Dell's website first, I stumbled upon this 19" monitor for $119--with free shipping! A few months prior to this adventure, a 19" Acer had set me back over twice that amount; I didn't even waste my time checking the competition.
My parcel was delivered even faster than promised--and setting it up was a breeze; although, as I mentioned in the above "cons" box, the settings are ridiculously tedious to engineer. Perhaps that's the way it is with all monitors; at least that's been my experience with every one I've owned.
A minor little point, since it's this "settings" deal that's my only gripe with this monitor: although the accompanying CD loads the instructional manual on to the computer, you can't get the critical images and pictures to open up: you have to print a copy to view them, so you can figure out how to manipulate them to change the settings. Not a big deal!! And the quality, for the price, was a great deal!!

Title: The Best Moniter I've Ever Had Date: February 28, 2009
ProsSturdy stand, clear text, great price. I love the cable mangement
ConsI want built in speakers and HDMI

Review:I bought this after I have two HP W1907 one came with my HP desktop that was on clearence at Circuit City. I never liked it too much due to a wopple stand. But I did not think there was a better moniter at the time so for an event I bought a secound. I returned the HP W1907 because when I bumped into the table the moniter kept falling over. Then when my Grandpa needed a new computer, I suggested to him a Dell. I have a dell dimension 4550 and it still runs great, so I orered my Grandpa a Dell. We got the Dell Inspiron 530. He loves it. I love it. We also got a Dell SE198WFP Moniter with it. Opps I hit the table. The Moniter won't wobble. It has the same sized screen, but it won't wobble. I'm so grad we got this moniter. I sold my other HP W1907 and bought another Dell SE198WFP to go with my HP and one more for my older Dell. I love the little hole on the stand for the wires.
This moniter and Inspiron 530 are faboulus. I would reccomend this to a friend.

Title: Great Monitor Date: February 18, 2009
ProsThis monitor has a great picture and a sturdy stand. The last monitor I had had a cheap stand and it shook when someone walked in the room. This is by far the best monitor I have owned. And of course it is Dell quality, you can't go wrong. It is overall an exceptional monitor for the price.
ConsCan't reach a higher resolution than 1440x900 but it is good enough.

Review:Will tell others about this monitor.
