The PL1910M performed fairly well in CNET Labs tests. Connected digitally and running at its native 1,280x1,024-pixel resolution, the PL1910M's text was clear, sharp, and easy to read. Colors on the PL1910 looked vibrant and image quality was fairly consistent, with only minor irregularities in an otherwise smooth progression from dark to light. The grayscale tests did reveal a slight tendency to shift toward the blue end of the spectrum, and color adjustment is not available with a DVI connection, but this shouldn't be a problem unless precise color accuracy is required. With a pixel response rate of 25ms, it's not surprising that the PL1910M has a hard time displaying motion without some streaking, ghosting, and noise effects, but it showed realistic flesh tones and a nice range of colors on the Labs' test DVD.
Planar backs the PL1910M with a customer-friendly three-year parts-and-labor warranty. If your LCD fails, Planar will send you a replacement via two-day air and will have the defective model picked up free of charge.
