Stunning Monitor
I first purchased my HW191D in Jan. 07.

I now have 2. These are absolutely FANTASTIC monitors. I had a slight bluetinge problem on one, but HannsG warranty is superb, doorstep swap.

The value for money is brilliant. The picture is superb, and the brightness and viewing angles are great.

The monitor also has DVI, Ideal for me, so I can run two off one graphics card.

Even on VGA, the picture is great.

To top it all off, the display is fully VESA wall-mountable.

Classic!

More than adequate
Got the monitor because I was replacing a laptop. As I am not a gamer, graphic artist, nor database freak I was looking for something cheap which looked good. Monitor arrived in good time. However, they had managed to pack two vga leads and software rather than a vga and a power lead. Ironically, I did not need the vga lead as I had bought a dvi lead. Because I work in IT I had a spare power lead but you may not. Dvi lead does allow you to rotate the screen but, as you cannot rotate the monitor it impossible to control the mouse until you tilt your head to 90 degrees! Didn't know it had speakers, tried them, but went back to dedicated speakers immediately.

It comes with a perspex sheet taped over the monitor for protection. The bonus is it makes a great crazy mirror - I have not taken it off yet .

Cheap, and okay
Coming from an old 17 inch 1600x1200 capable CRT, which was definitely darker than I wanted in the dark parts of games by the time it failed, this is a bit of a change.

I mostly used my CRT in 1280x960 mode, this is natively 1440x900 and I'm really missing the few lines from the bottom of the screen.

This is sometimes sort of shimery/silvery (eg when scrolling fast), maybe all LCD screens are this way, I don't know.

I tried it first on it's own VGA cable, it chopped off the edges of the boot-up screen diplayed by the BIOS before windows started, some of the lower resolution modes were fairly uncomfortable to look at on VGA, when the DVI cable arrived the monitor improved considerably in these respects, the BIOS display isn't cropped at all. I'd definitely recommend getting a DVI cable.
