We reviewed the same monitor last year. It features a stand heavy enough to knock Godzilla silly, which cunningly incorporates a 10 watt RMS speaker unit with a subwoofer that delivers good sound, the best we've heard from inbuilt LCD speakers. To say this panel is well built is an understatement, although it's not a widescreen. The soft touch buttons are as annoying as they are nifty-the problem is that they don't work as they should. We missed a lot of touches-irritating! The dated TN panel in this monitor shows up a few issues with contrast in DisplayMate. After that we had a few more issues with geometry which were rectified with judicious use of the calibration tool.

In terms of colour performance it's a mixed bag with accurate rendition of primary colours at the expense of some issues in the 16 shade intensity test. F.E.A.R and Oblivion sport great detail and the effects and colour look really good on this monitor, and unless you're in one of those shadowy areas the lack of contrast won't be very noticeable. The lack of wide screen will annoy you when watching HD content, but the quality itself was satis factory. With a good webcamera adding value to an already good offering the only possible goof up could be the price. Rs 26,990 is too much to pay for a 19 inch, monitor. Heck. . .its too much to pay for a 22-inch monitor. Enough said ...
