So get used to the idea that if you’re looking for a low-cost monitor, you’ll have to move to 16:10 format. But "low-cost" doesn’t have to mean low quality – the quality of the 19″ wide displays I tested was quite satisfactory overall. That doesn’t mean that you can ignore the wide variations in performance in the panels I tested in this roundup.
If you are in the market for a widescreen 19" screen, then this is a pretty good article to reference. They touch on details that many people don’t usually touch on, including latency. Before you make your purchase, you may want to peruse this first.
