Envision's G918W1, H1781, and H1981 LCD monitors

Just in case you still haven't located a "Vista-certified" LCD you're comfortable with, Envision is hoping one of its three latest will hit the spot. The 17-inch H1781 sports a 1,280 x 1,024 resolution, five-millisecond response time, wall-mount support, 300 nits of brightness, 700:1 contrast ratio, 170-degree viewing angles, and a VGA input to boot. The 19-inch rendition (dubbed the H1981) boosts a bit larger screen but manages to keep all of the same specs found in its smaller sibling, while the widescreen G918W1 (pictured after the jump) ups the resolution to 1,440 x 900, the contrast ratio to 800:1, and adds an HDCP-compliant DVI port. Of course, all three of the units feature a relatively unsexy frame, but considering the modest $199.99 (H1781), $219.99 (G918W1), and $229.99 (H1981) pricetags, we suppose there's not too much room to grouse.

No way! A new boring-ass LCD...

To me, the constant posts about new (completely uninteresting) LCD monitors just seems like a waste of time. I've been reading Engadget for quite a while now, yet I still don't understand the need to blog about EVERY SINGLE LCD monitor coming out of Asia...

"while the widescreen G918W1 (pictured after the jump) ups the resolution to 1,440 x 900"

Actually 1440x900 has close to 15 thousand fewer pixels than 1280x1024.

Yeah exactly what I was just gonna say. 1,310,720 vs. 1,296,000 :)

Yes, 1440 x 900 (16:10) has less pixels than the 1280 x 1024 (5:4). But 1440 x900 is a wide aspect ratio that fits for DVD wide screen format display, especially if you use Windows Vista, it is better suited.

That is why there will be a slew of wide screen format LCD monitors coming to the market. 19"wide, 22"wide or 24" wide...

They are similar to the wide screen LCDTV in its aspect ratio. (LCDTVs are 16:9, while LCD monitors are generally 16:10)

They still make 4:3 monitors?
