Dell E197FP 19-inch Flat Panel Monitor

 (10 customer reviews)

Before buying this monitor I was a bit skeptical about it's stunning reviews but honestly, this is hands down the best 19" LCD out there. Add the fact that it's only slightly over 200 bucks and it gives a guy a warm fuzzy feeling knowing he got a great deal. The picture quality is brilliant the design of the stand and frame are very pleasing. The adjustment control buttons are simple to use as well as pleasing to the eye. I've heard several buyers complain about the lack of a separate "brightness/contrast" button but I didn't feel it was a problem and in fact I think adding more buttons would detract from the nice clean lines of this monitor. For this price this is an outstanding value and I'd recommend it to anyone. Extraordinarily Nice !

I ordered this monitor instead of the wide screen version. The screen is actually huge and much taller than the WS version. This monitor is better for gaming, graphic design, CAD etc. Order WS if you watch a lot of movies on the computer.

I love the monitor but find that the size and brighness of the LCD screen will give you a headach after a while. I would recommend a great 17" LCD over a good 19-20" LCD if you mostly surf or do computer work. Just my preference. Bigger may not be better....it's like sitting 2 feet from your family room TV screen. Ladies, good luck convincing your tech-hungry husbands of this.

What a change from the old style monitors!! I couldn't believe the difference when we hooked it up. And now that I have a newer computer, the 3D graphics just rock on this monitor! I highly recommend it! You can't beat it for the price!
