Description: The HP LP1965 is a 19 in, flat panel computer monitor. Compared to other flat panel monitors on the market, it is midpriced at around $310. This unit features a 1280x1024 native resolution. Weighs 15.7 lbs.
Pros: Its wide viewing angle (178 degrees) is useful whenever the screen is being viewed by more than one person at the same time. Accepts DVI input, which allows for greater signal clarity than traditional VGA.
Cons: Has only 1280x1024 resolution, which is lower than some similarly priced monitors. For example, the Lenovo ThinkVision L192 , a 19 in monitor at around $320, has 1440x900 resolution. Also, this monitor has 0.294 mm dot pitch.
Suitability: Built for those who want a spacious screen that will not hog their entire desk. The 6 ms response time of this screen makes it ideal for fast-moving games and for watching movies.
Value: In general, this monitor has great features for the money.
Suggestions: (1) Before purchasing an LCD monitor, consider visiting your local store for a live demo to ensure that its overall image quality, color, and sharpness meets your expectation. (2) Since this monitor is DVI-capable, you might want a DVI-enabled graphics card in your PC to connect with it -- this will pass the digital video signal directly without converting it to analog, making for better performance.
