1. Even though I'm not interested in the 19" screens myself, it is great that xbitlabs still reviews these smaller&cheaper LCDs. It is a good principle to also review products that the majority will be interested in, instead of just reviewing the highest-end products.

xbitlabs is steadily going up in my list of best review sites =)

i totally diasagree....nobody wants to see a 19" screen reviews these days....and please stop wasting space by including the non-widescreen panels.....review 22" non-TN-panels please

I like the 4:3 or 5:4 ratio. Here is the deal. If you watch widescreen on a 5:4 you lose less resolution then if you watch 5:4 on widescreen. The are in the 2 vertical black bars is much more then the are in the 2 horizontal black bars...

Also I am poor, so I do not need anything more then 19 inches...

And I totally disagree with you SK. The sentence "especially gamers who can’t afford an expensive graphics card that would run games fast enough at high display resolutions" is so true! Even if I'd put in the investment in the Dell 2407WFP-HC, I'd have to get a high end graphic card every time I upgrade it. Otherwise I won't be able to run the latest games at this screen's 1920x1200 native resolution.
I'm not willing to spend so much money on graphic cards. I'm perfectly content with running my games at 1280x1024. I don't want to be limited to such high resolutions.
Thus, 19" screen are perfect for me and for many other gamers.

2. Glad to see another good article on LCD monitors. I don't think it's a waste of time and web-space to review 19 inch non wide monitors. I'd like you include in your reviews iiyama monitors too. Keep up the good work!

3. I wouldn't spend more energy to write Roundup part X about 19"Monitors.This segment of the market is already dead.

Actually, you're completely wrong. 19" monitors are the most popular.
