Unless you're in the market for a 19-inch display on which to view HD video, you'd be much better off with the NEC Accusync LCD193WXM, a 19-inch wide-screen LCD that trounces the Envision G918W1 on performance (and also has built-in speakers). We also found the NEC model for about $20 to $30 less at various outlets online. The only caveat we'll add is that the G918W1 display was recently on sale at Best Buy for $119. It's currently sold out, although Envision ensures us that it will be restocking and that it plans to keep Best Buy well stocked for at least another year. If you're not overly concerned with image quality, you should keep an eye on Best Buy's Web site during its usual yearly sale times.
Service and support
Envision protects the G918W1, and all of its LCDs, with three years of parts and labor coverage, although the LCD screen itself is only covered for one year after purchase. You can find the driver file and a downloadable system manual online, which is handy. There's also a FAQ that addresses basic questions. If you need further help, you can call Envision toll-free, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT.
