"Terrific monitor"
Pros: Great color, clarity, aesthetics .. an all-around great monitor
Cons: None so far
Summary: I was very skeptical after reading prior reviews about problems with clarity, but the monitor came free with my Dell on a special they were running. One of two things must be going on here: 1. People don't understand how to adjust the settings on their monitor and in Windows XP to optimize the video, or 2. Dell has fixed whatever problems there were with the monitor.
I've had the monitor now for a little over a month, and couldn't be happier. Everything's crystal clear, the 500:1 contrast ratio is wonderful, games look great, and the size is almost too large.
Don't shy away because of poor reviews -- this thing's a gem.

I usually review before I buy, but I did it backwards on this Dell E193FP 19-inch Flat Panel Monitor - I just ordered it and began to read reviews that were totally discouraging. Then I read cgoode777's comments, and felt much better. Perhaps cgoode777 can give me some hints on setting this monitor up, and fine-tuning it for optimum display performance?

I had technical support at Dell help me attempt to optimize the settings (and I know a thing or two myself), and after a half hour the technical service representative pretty much gave up on trying to fix the text resolution problems b/c we had maxed it out as much as possible.
