  Strengths: Bright, Sharp Display, Pivot and tilt features, Great warranty

  Weaknesses: Gets dirty too easily! Pivot snaps into place sounding like it is breaking. Planar has a very poor and hard to follow website. So far, I've heard no feedback from them from my registration.

  Overall: I've been very impressed with this model. I'm wondering why it didn't make the top 10 on the current PC World Reviews of 19 inch monitors. Was it reviewed? It is super sharp and the pivot works well. I leave it in the portrait mode all the time. It makes doing Word processing documents a breeze. Websites work better as well. My only gripe is that it snaps into each portrait or landscape mode, feeling a bit like it will break each time. Time will tell if this pivot point holds up.I purchased this because another review site showed no bad or negative comments from any reviewers. In fact, I could find no other negative reviews by actual users. All other models in the PC World Top 10 review featured some negative reviews. If you are looking for a solid LCD monitor, indeed consider this one. Though you may pay a bit more, you get a fine monitor.

  Strengths: Design Style, 700:1 Contrast Ratio, 300 Brightness, Easy to use right out of the box. Beautiful Picture. Best Warranty out there.

  Weaknesses: None Yet

  Overall: I wanted to buy a flat screen LCD monitor but had no idea which one, except I did know that I wanted a 19 inch because I had a 19 inch CRT and wanted to stay with that size. I started to research them on the internet one by one. What I found was that they were quite costly and they vary from model to model. Some had some of the options I wanted and some didn't. I was having a hard time finding one with all the options I wanted. Finally I came across the Planar brand and what I found I liked. The PX191 had all of the features I wanted. Contrast Ratio, Brightness, Thin Style Design, Pivot, Ease of Use and very importantly one of the BEST Warranties on the market. After taking it right out of the box and hooking it up to my computer the picture is Beautiful and even better than I had imagined. If your in the market for a flat screen LCD you owe it to yourself to check-out the Planar line of flat screens. If you are like me and want to get the most for your money you will definitely find that in a Planar monitor. Though a little costly, there are other comparable LCD's out there that cost the same and even more but you'll get less! I would highly recommend this monitor to the pro or even the first time buyer, like me!
