19" 12ms, dvi LCD $210 AR @newegg

[kmmatney]

I bought htis monitor for work, and its an excellent office machine. I can't comment on gaming, but the windows desktop looks fantastic with the DVI connection. I did finally get my rebate after 6 months. I believe its a 6 bit panel, but the colors still look great.

Damn. I just paid $284.00 for this from them two weeks ago.

Oh well. Here is a review, and note that I spend all my time in front of two 19" Samsung 930BF's so it may be biased.

Yes, it's inexpensive. Packed quite well, and comes with both a DVI and VGA cable. The brick is pretty small, though I worry about the connectors. They seem somewhat flimsy.

Image Quality:

I've only had it on VGA so far, but I'll try DVI if anyone has any questions. One stuck-on-green pixel out of the box. The backlight tends to bleed through both at the top and bottom when the screen is darker (think games). The bleed seems to flicker, although I couldn't tell you the rate. Maybe 40 flickers per second. The refresh rate seems fine, thoough I haven't gamed on it yet. Mostly just surfing around while the newly built box is burning in. I also haven't tried the onboard speakers, though I can't imagine they'd be too good given the tiny grills. The bezel and frame is fine and of nice quality, and the monitor is quite stable on its metal stand. The range of tilt is very limited. Maybe 15 degrees, if that.

At this price I'd still say it's a great deal. It was just a decent monitor at what I paid for it.

I have received this monitor and have played with it since Thursday of last week. I also attended a LAN Party this weekend and brought it with me to compair to some of the "Elite" gamer's panels out there. Well, I must say that I am totally impressed. Considering both the performance and the price, for $199 I can honestly say I had the best monitor in attendance. I have one dead (stuck on white) pixle that you have to look for to see. Not too bad I guess. I was hopeing for a perfect monitor. I have no way of telling if this is a 6 or 8 bit panel os if soeone out there has a definitive way of telling (ie some kind of software that will tell you) let me know and i will run it. However, as far as gaming, its perfect, much better than the crappy 17" I used to have that had backlight bleedover on all 4 edges. There is a very fant amount of bleedover on the very top edge of the monitor but its hardly noticible, even when watching a DVD. (Which I have watched 3 of on this monitor so far). All three other edges are perfect. My only complainr about the monitor is I wish there was some way to turn down the backlight. It seems overly bright, and when I turn down the "Brightness" it seems to just wash out the colors, rather than truly turn down the brightness. Thats my only complaint. If it makes you owners of $400+ 19" monitors out there feel any better, this monitor is not perfect, but HOLY $%#! I cant believe I got this for $199 and its right up there in quality.

I've had this LCD for about 7 months now and its been great. It does have some backlight bleedthrough but not very much. I play on-line games all the time and it works great. Also I did just receive my rebate about 2 weeks ago. I called Fuji about it and they said they didn't even start processing the rebates up till about a month ago. I guess they don't do anything with the rebates until the end of the promotion date.
For the price, its definatly worth it IMHO.

Seems the Rosewill R912E @ newegg might be the better choice even if it is $230 AR.

Will this work with THIS wall mount?

I'm going to just be using this watching TV in my office (Background noise TV, not serious movie watching) so this doesn't have to be a top end monitor, I just want to get rid of this HUGE 19" CRT that wasting space here.

Unless they don't know how to measure, yes it should work. Only real guarantee it's as compatible as it's supposed to be is to try it.
