I was looking for a moderate sized and priced widescreen and there were several choices available. I checked out several monitors - Samsung, Viewsonic, Acer among others - at various stores. The BrightView screen of the HP w19b, its 5 ms response time and overall compact look were significant factors that won me over, plus the immediate availability by mail order! The brightness, colors and crispness of images are all very good. The clear screen (as opposed to matte) has not been a problem - very nice indeed. I have no complaints about the visual aspects of the monitor.The negatives (1/2 star deduction each) are the tilt (some advertisements claim that it can do so but I have not been able to figure it out) and the speakers (they work and the volume control is nice, but are tiny and sound tinny - for real audio get better quality speakers!)I think it is a very good buy for a basic 19" widescreen LCD.

I chose this as an immediate replacement for my original vf17 which came with my HP Media Center. Side-by-side, you can easily see both a brighter and sharper screen in comparison to the HP 22-inch widescreen LCD, as well as the standard 19", 17" and 15". The real proof of that was when I quickly setup this monitor and changed my desktop resolution from 1280 x 1024 to 1440 x 900. I then downloaded some appropriate desktop wallpaper images at that resolution and it's like viewing a plasma HDTV display.Yes, the built-in speakers leave much to be desired, but they can also serve as a quiet reference speaker source when you don't want to disturb your neighbor... just plug in the display to your "Line Out" jack.Another plus is the wire clasp bracket on the stand which relieves stress on the power and VGA cables, a headphone jack at your "desktop", and a DVI jack for either graphics cards or HD gear which require such a connection. I am very pleased with this monitor for basic computing, photo-editing, DVD playback, et. al.

Exceptionally clear display. Makes working with graphic intense programs a pleasure. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone who works with graphics, plays games or watches movies on their computer.
