Asus PW191 reviewed

If you're curious like we are about how Asus' PW191 widescreen 19-incher handles itself in the real world after you've returned the first two or three on its dead-pixel guarantee, we've got good news: Tom's Hardware took a very long, in-depth look at it. After the praise and adoration for it being possibly "the best looking monitor available," (which we might have to take issue with -- Dell's new biz ain't too terribly far behind Apple's Cinema Display industrial design these days), they found it suffered from some insensitive buttons (aww), a glare filter that messed with the picture, and generally not so amazing panel performance. So sure, you could plunk down the $400 for a display with a 1440 x 900 resolution, 600:1 contrast ratio, 330cd/m2 brightness, 8ms pixel latency, and VGA and DVI inputs -- or for even less you can snag a larger, better specced, higher res Dell 2005FPW on sale, or its successor, the 2007WFP. Just saying, is all.
