choosing a monitor from three similar models

by Orgmike - 11/5/09 10:00 AM

Not sure I am in the rigth forum. I am looking for an inexpensive monitor for work. I definitely want a 5:4 aspect ratio, not a wide screen. I am looking at three Hanns G comparable 19 inch models. The differences seem so minor that I can't make out what is significant. Models are JC199APD, HH191DPB, and HX191DPB.

http://www.google.com/search?q=JC199APD found your post and nothing else.

Is there a link to this available?

While I would never buy these.

I'll tell why in a moment. The HannsG HH-191DPB contrast ratio pulls it ahead of the others. DHCP helps too.

For me this model is a NO SALE since these are not the current technology of WIDE SCREEN. Because of my work I must get the new displays that you see today or my software efforts would be hampered by using the older displays.

I'm sure you have a reason for this choice.

I am probably a little naive about this, but my reason for preferring a 5:4 aspect ratio to a wide screen is being able to see two documents at once one above the other, and see more of one document at a time. Graphics capabilities is not my primary concern. I realize everything has moved to wide screen format. perharps there are some disadvantages that I don't understand. I welcome your thoughts on this.

Just a picture.

I picked up the swivel model as you see at http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w146/rproffitt2000/?action=view&current=desktop2.jpg

If I didn't swivel that then maybe 2 docs side by side?

All personal choice there.
Bob
