What You Should Know about the VP912B Black 19

Short On Desk Space? Older Aspect Ratio May Allow a Little More Elbow Room

Once the dominant shape of both televisions and desktop monitors, 4:03 aspect ratio displays such as this one are falling from favor as people want to a more cinematic experience from their displays. With this dimension, you don't get as much extra horizontal space, which can be handy for application palettes or for viewing documents side-by-side.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Great Picture Quality. Nearly Unnoticeable Ghost Trails. Space Saver. Looks Elegant with full black coated. 2 Dsub 1 Dvi for future HDTV capabilities.

Weaknesses: Other then little noticeable ghost image. This is a perfect Monitor for gaming and watch Videos.

Overall Evaluation: Great Monitor Overall. I am just being too picky on the Ghosting Issues. I think Most ppl wont notice that at all. Most of my friends cant notice it at least. Reasonable Price. 3 years of warranty. WHat else can u ask for. Definitely a 5 out of 5.

Overall Evaluation: Upgraded from 19" CRT allows for cleaner desktop. I got this for $520 shipping included on a special promotion from securemart.com. Controls are fairly easy to use and blend into the surround so they are not distracting. Black color frames the screen nicely. Only problem I've had is going from 800x600 to 1280x1040 which 912b seems to want as the default. Although Windows XP let's me custom size the font to 150% to offset the smaller screen size which results from going to the higher resolution, I found that several AOL screens including the welcome screen and a couple of other application screens had windows that weren't resizable and were very hard to read at the smaller size. I've gone back to 800x600 for now but it's probably too expensive a display to use at that setting. Maybe I can work around it down the road, but anyway, seems like an overall nice display.
