- ViewSonic VX1962wm - flat panel display - TFT - 19"
- Despite its good performance in games, smart design, and a high 1,680x1,050 resolution, we do not recommend the ViewSonic VX1962wm because Westinghouse has a 19-inch LCD that's cheaper and a better performer. A slightly blurry picture during DVD playback also detracts from the ViewSonic's appeal, and we noticed a yellowish...

- Westinghouse L1916HW
- The Westinghouse L1916HW is a 19-inch wide-screen LCD that carries a $180 list price but can be found for as low as $160 at Best Buy. With its decent performance across a variety of tasks and HDCP compatibility, we think it's a good buy. By comparison, the $250 Lenovo ThinkVision...
