  Overall Rating: 2 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:4 Months

  Strengths: 700 to 1 Contrast Ratio,DVI Cable included &speakers, if you need them

  Weaknesses: DVI Refresh Rate only at 60 Hertz (Max setting),only 3 adjustments in DVI Mode,25ms Response Time, not good for gaming or movies.

  Overall Evaluation: Maybe at one time this was a good LCD-19" for the money, but this is no longer the case. The other reason that I'm giving this monitor only 2 stars is mine had a display problem, it's called streaking. On a black screen background, a-non full size page streaks upward & downward (white with some colors) the remainder of the screen size. It's been sent back to Princeton, (another $30.00 for shipping it back). Mean time I purchased a 19" Samsung 930B, 300 brightness, 700 to 1 contrast, 8ms Response time, 75Hertz (DVI) & it has a lot more adjustments in DVI mode. It was cheaper & just blows the 19" Princeton away. Unless your getting this monitor for a really good price, I would suggest you do some research first.

  Strengths: Large bright display. So much nicer than my gateway 17" LCD. Installed easily and worked with XP home edition - no problems!

  Weaknesses: speakers

  Overall Evaluation: No comparison between this display and my gateway 17" LCD. This Princeton display is huge. The installation was a breeze, once cabled the display fired up flawlessly with windows xp. So bright! BUY IT.

  Strengths: Excellent display quality. Brightness, contrast, colors all equivalent to more expensive LCD monitors. Just plugged it in and it was ready. Everything worked perfectly right out of the box.

  Weaknesses: None.

  Overall Evaluation: I've been using desktops for 22 years. Purchased this monitor on-line after comparing with Samsung, Viewsonic, Sony and other 19" 1280 X 1024 DVI monitors in local stores. This one certainly equalled any of them and cost less. I'm using it with a new Mac Mini, for which it is a great match-up. I see other comments about speaker quality. These speakers are fine for computer messages. I use my Bose system for Mozart!

  Strengths: very good image quality, with both DVI and analog inputs

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: Purchase from onsale.com for $387 (including shipping). Paid only $287 after $100 rebate. Hard to get 19" LCD with contrast ratio of 700:1, with both digital and analog inputs, and build in speaker at that low price. Perfect picture image.

  Strengths: Superior image quality with a DVI connection option. Great two-tone design.

  Weaknesses: Sound quality from speakers.

  Overall Evaluation: The monitor itself has a large viewing area with superior image quality and wide viewing angle. The screen doesn't wash out under bright lights. Very nice design also helps the outside appearance of the monitor. For a 19" flat panel monitor, this is the best value that you can get in the market.

  Duration of ownership:3 Months

  Strengths: Both analog & digital connections, DVI cable included. Sharp picture, good color gradation. Black levels are pretty good.

  Weaknesses: First monitor was DOA, second arrived with one dead pixel. Not a thin-frame monitor and is rather large. Height is not adjustable. Separate power brick instead of power being integrated into display.

  Overall Evaluation: Used Display Mate to adjust picture --> set Contrast to 45 and Brightness to 60 for best results. Speakers are actually decent, I've heard worse. I use the DVI connection, however the analog connection is not bad. Controls on monitor are somewhat tricky. For example, to switch between DVI and Analog you have to hit the MINUS button. Also, the monitor takes longer to power up and synch with the video signal compared to others. Very good "2D" monitor, for games you may notice ghosting.

  Strengths: - Superior Image Quality - Very Nice Design - Ease of Installation -

  Weaknesses: - Average Sound Quality -

  Overall Evaluation: With a $100 rebate and a low price, this LCD monitor is the best deal in the 19" flat-panel market. Installation is a breeze. I can even connect the monitor by using the supplied digital or analog cable. Image quality is surprisingly superior (sharp and very bright). The silver-black colors make a very nice combination that matches my work desk. The unit also comes with built-in speakers, so that's one less adaptor to worry about.

  Strengths: Bright clear picture, no dead spots.

  Weaknesses: Monitor controls a little clumsy and hard to adjust in terms of graphic needs.

  Overall Evaluation: If you want an all purpose monitor for word processing and Internet usage I would highly recommend it. It has a good cost to quality ratio. I had no trouble installing it quickly right out of the box. I haven't used the speakers as I have better external ones.

  Strengths: Very nice monitor. I bought it for my son as a Christmas present - he is very happy with it.

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: My only complaint - and a big one for me - is that Princeton has not honored the $100 rebate which was sent to them in early December. I have tried to contact them about this problem after sending them all of the items requested to no avail.

  Duration of ownership:1 Days

  Strengths: Sharp, clean picture. Excellent colors. Low price.

  Weaknesses: None so far.

  Overall Evaluation: Even though I have only had this 1 day I am very, very impressed. The auto tune feature works well. The screen is easy to read at 1280x1064, no dead pixels on arrival. I got this for $289 after the $100 rebate from Princeton. If you are looking for a good 19" TFT flat panel take a look at this one.
