Hanns-G Widescreen 19 Inch Computer LCD Monitor

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 | Monitors

The Hanns-G 19 inch computer LCD monitor is a widescreen LCD monitor with 1440×900 screen resolution, 5ms latency and 700:1 contrast ratio. Good specifications at a reasonable price.

A widescreen monitor provides lots of extra desktop space by making it wider. Pure size makes a difference, but the range of our own vision stretches much more horizontally than vertically. Seventeen inches has become pretty standard for desktop monitors, with the biggest laptop monitors also reaching that size. But a bit of a stretch up, and more stretching out to each side, you get a lot more monitor for only a little extra cash.

Here is a list of features for the Hanns-G:

• 19 inch LCD monitor
• 1440×900 maximum screen resolution
• 5ms latency
• DVI video input
• 700:1 contrast ratio

High contrast gives the image on the screen a crisper look, subtle difference in color are more obvious. 700:1 is just fine and will give good quality images. 5ms latency means that the response time of the monitor is very high. When the image is changing quickly, the monitor’s ability to keep up with the changing image without looking like there are ghosts chasing your character in a game, is measured by the latency. 5ms is very quick, and even when you take into account that this is the fastest response, the average should still be good.

DVI video input only is something to consider. A lot of computers still do not have DVI ports, so a VGA-to-DVI adapter would be needed to connect this to a computer with only a VGA port. The included speakers are small enough to almost not be seen, which also means they are not really much good for anything but simple audio, but if you’re listening to music on the computer you probably have speakers or headphones already.

Hanns-G has made a good name for themselves and this monitor will deliver everything it promises.
