    Can we just take it as a given that geometry on LCDs are perfect? Its rather tedious wading through a list of 5's to find out what's WRONG with a particular monitor. Perhaps to make it simpler, if you awarded 5 to all the monitors in a category, you could condense it down to a single figure so we can skim the page more easily.

    Its too expensive to compete with the 2001FP. Its been on sale for a while but samples for review just arrived - go figure

    The usually great review... :)

    I would like to see also a comparison with the LG.Philips 19'' 25ms S-IPS panel.
    A monitor like LG L1910B (last version) or Iiyama E481.
    Buyers say it doesn't have deep black, but is very fast on video and games.

    3rd generation my a*s...

    funny this monitor has been on sale at Fry's for over 2 months.

    Would Anandtech recommend buying the Samsung 193P over the Dell 2001FP?
