Viewsonic VP191b

The newest member of Viewsonic's professional range of LCD monitors, the VP191b, is specifically aimed at graphic designers, engineers and the financial sector.

Launched in March with a 19in 16ms panel, it has already been updated with an 8ms response time.

In reality, this makes very little difference. Far more important are features such as a pivoting screen with super-slim bezel, crystal clear 1,280 x 1,024 image, strong colour and 170 degree viewing angle.

Viewsonic's on-screen menus are refreshingly straightforward and make setup easy, while a height and tilt adjustment lets you get the ideal position on your desk. Ours proved a little stiff, but was nothing to worry about.

The VP191b also stands out with three video inputs: two VGA sockets and a DVI-D connector. Picture quality on all three was excellent.
