5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - BUT you better have a good graphics card., November 10, 2003

This review is from: Planar PX191-BK 19" LCD Monitor ( 997-2288-00 ) (Personal Computers)

Just bought this monitor and played "Matrix: Reloaded". The picture quality is quite amazing. I also test drove Warcraft III and Quake 3 and the graphics look great with no apparent "ghosting".
I also see no pixel fusion for this monitor. Since i am an avid gamer, this monitor gets my "2 Thumbs Up". However, i use an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro w/ 256 MB DDR (using the DVI adapter). Not sure how this monitor would perform with a lower end graphics card.

I have three of these monitors in a multi-monitor setup, and they all work very well. While admittedly I am using them in a business setup that is not pushing the graphics capability of the monitors the way that some games do, I can say that they have been completely dependable, with no problems of any sort, and very good image quality (in both landscape and portrait mode). The pivot feature works quite well, and is a real plus.

I had a problem with the second monitor I purchased (the DVI connection wasn't working) and Planar sent out a new monitor to me immediately. I have been running these three monitors for about a year now and am very, very pleased. I will likley be buying two more for use at home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Monitor, Too Bad not fast enough for FPS Games, November 22, 2004

This is a GREAT monitor. Colors are unreal on this display. Very true blacks, definitely lived up to its reputation. Unfortunately, it ghosts pretty bad in fast action games, specially FPS which is a big shame. I have a high end video card and use the digital connection on it as well. Always using the native resolution of course. I had a 17" dell LCD with a 25ms response time and was able to deal with its slight ghosting. I felt since this one had the same response time, it would have the same performance. Also reading other reviews about people saying it was good for gaming, i felt why not give it a shot. I tried it on Doom 3 and Far Cry and it ghosts horribly. So if your an avid gamer,specially with FPS games, don't buy this monitor. If games don't matter, this is one of the best, if not thy best LCD monitor out.
