Since my previous PC was a laptop I needed a display for my new not-so-little beast – Acer M1641 desktop. After several hours of investigation I’ve found Samsung T190 – the best value for money offer in the next door computer stores. I got this very stylish 19″ TN+film LCD for $240 – not a bargain but quite tolerable. It has a way better colors and viewing angle than my laptop’s screen.
Either Samsung or retailers have set the screen brightness to 100% to make the T190 pop on the store shelf and I was very surprised when I had to lower it all the way down to 55% to make the image comfortable (and still very bright and vivid).
The thing I like most is its power indicator. It’s so subtle and unobtrusive that you can easily think it’s just an element of the LCD’s decoration. The best LED placement idea I’ve ever seen.
