I need a new one, got Bioshock and I can't see a bloody thing on the TFT I have a the moment (A BenQ of some kind from 4 years ago).
The HansG above get 5/5 everywhere I have checked.

Cheers.

Yes mate, I have seen both the 19" WS and the 19" SD and I can vouch for both types, and it was one of the choices before I got this one.

All I would say before you buy, and this goes for all TFT displays not only the cheaper end of the market is ask the retailer what their policy is on dead\stuck on pixels.

Although in relative terms TFT displays are reasonably new the technology has come on leaps and bounds and IMO there is no real excuse for dodgy pixels.

I was even told this by a major retailer as they exchanged a TFT for me with 1 pixel switched off right in the centre of the screen.

Brilliant, thanks for that. Yeah it's a gamble. It is something like it has to be 4 dead in a square inch or something, it's much the same for the vast majority of makers, if it has a dead one, I can just reject it as something else, too big or some such.

Cheers for that, will order one.

I've got one, I find it really good for playback of DVD & other media files, plus it is great for watching TV via a standard vbox & my Radeon 'All in Wonder'

- oh and it is ok as a computer monitor, too,

Mine had no faulty pixels ...

I paid around £140 for my one of those a while and it was a bargin at that price

I use it with DVI for the pc and have my 360 Plugged into the VGA socket

Apart from the odd issue with a cold start (i.e after being switched off at mains) where because I have devices connected to both the DVI and VGA input it doesn't always see the signal on the DVI untill the OS has booted as far as the GUI. (at which point the graphics drivers take over the running of the video card)

Never quite worked out if that's the monitor or my 7800GT being a bit odd. only ever happens after its been unplugged from the mains and only if I have both the vga and DVI ports connected but only the DVI in use at the time.

If The VGA is in use it sees it straight away and if both inputs have an active signal the OSD comes up when you power the monitor on and asks you to select which input to fill.

Only other gripe is that the 360 wont do 1440x900 which is the panels native res (mind you the picture looks much better than my mikomi lcd-tv which is what i used to have the 360 connected to via its vga in (for higher res) the colour reproduction and response time on the monitor is a LOT better)

(then again my TV is awful for response time it motion blurs quite a bit)

Dont forget if you buy online you get 7 day distance selling so if your not happy you can send it back

I`ve got the HW191D and had it for quite a while now. Very impressive for the price!!¬! Bioshock looks great on it at 1440x900.
