First Rate Monitor
Pros: Excellent color and clarity. Bright, but not too much. Type and details are sharp and clear. I compared it side-by-side with other 19" monitors costing much more, and it was as good or better.
Cons: Haven't found any yet.

Fantastic Monitor - one of the best 19" in the market - and its the f1905'b' I am talking about
Pros: 'Plasma-like' BrightView Panel, Anti-Glare Screen, Dual inputs (Digital & Analog), 1280 by 1024 native resolution, 500:1 screen ratio, Comes with matching stand alone speakers and DVI CABLE!
Cons: None - Seriously. Perhaps it could be positioned vertically like the Samsung 193P
The brightness level on this monitor is astounding - bar none. 12 MS response time, 500:1 ratio, Auto adjustment feature, Outstanding Quality of text/graphics, sexy silver body, Anti-glare screen, dual inputs - and yes its made by Samsung.
PC World ranked the regular f1905 in its top 5 monitors in the 19" category last week (Oct 10 - 16).

And thats for the older model!!! I wonder what they would rate the newer 'b' model.
To be honest, I checked out the # 1 ranked NEC MultiSync 1970GX 19" LCD Monitor in the store and did not find it as refined looking as the HP monitor, even though the contrast ratio specs were slightly higher.
It comes with free matching speakers, and an analog and DVI cable as well! That in itself is impressive. I picked mine up from Futureshop (equivalent of Best Buy in Canada) for $499 CAD + Tax.
CNET should review this monitor ASAP. What a deal!!!
Well done HP - my first LCD and I'm super impressed with the package and price.
