AG Neovo F419 19" TFT review
My old P1500 21" CRT was dying so i needed a new monitor, so i got a:
AG Neovo F419 19" TFT 12ms 500:1 (1280x1024) (Analogue/DVI) Monitor - Black (3 Years Warranty)
It has a good looking screen with slim black bezel which goes well with my black setup. Picture quality is excellent, no dead pixels (AG Neovo's policy is NOT zero dead pixels for a replacement) with both analogue and DVI cables included. Stand tilts are detachable to allow wall mounting. My only gripe is that the stand is a bit flimsy and doesn't allow you to tilt left/right but that's not a problem tbh.
Took me seconds to hook up the DVI and get the recent drivers.

I do many hours on a monitor every day (wink wink) including quite a bit of work, so colour reproduction and clarity is very important to me, but I eventually decided that LCDs have progressed enough to be worthy of consideration. Well, I really did consider for over 6 months and saw many, many monitors in that time!
I dithered and dithered, but having read a reviews of this monitor (including a great one in PC Pro) I had been keeping my eye on the white version of the F419 for a while but then suddenly this black model dropped in price, so I decided to finally bite the bullet! It is christmas :P
The set up via the buttons on the bottom right of the bezel is fiddly, but how often do you do it? Unless you are into graphics, pressing the auto button will do the job - simple.

For £180 i was expecting a worse image display than my old 21" CRT but it's great! TFTs have come a long way and this is an great monitor for the money. So guys if you are thinking about getting one - this gets my vote.
