Product Description

The SyncMaster 191T features the latest in display technology with a 1280x1024 maximum resolution, dual digital/analog inputs, and an ultra-thin 0.7-inch bezel. In addition to powerful technology, the SyncMaster 191T comes available in a stylish silver front and black back.

Amazon.com Product Description

Samsung designed the SyncMaster 191T's base with a surprisingly short depth, trimming it to leave more desk space than just about any other 19-inch monitor. It is ideal for multiple-monitor use in professional applications, when two or more monitors are placed side-by-side. Plus, the TFT screen optimizes graphics with intense color, contrast, and brightness.

For office applications requiring advanced imaging and high-speed interactivity, the 191T features a 0.294mm dot pixel pitch with a 1,280 x 1,024 native resolution. It delivers clarity and crispness with a high 250 cd/m brightness, and 500:1 ultrahigh contrast. An extra-wide viewing angle of 170 degrees permits easy placement and increases productivity, allowing several people to view the screen comfortably throughout your office. The dual interface offers both analog input for standard graphics cards and digital video input for the most accurate color and sharpest detail.

The 191T's dimensions are a very compact 16.4 by 17.7 by 8.2 inches, including the media stand, for a design that lets the monitor fit comfortably into most office plans. It supports Windows, Macintosh, and Sun Microsystems (with VGS Connector) operating systems. Samsung packages the 191T with an AC power cord, VGA cable, DVI-D cable, and tabletop stand. An optional USB hub is available separately. The monitor parts, labor, and backlight are all supported by a limited three-year warranty.

Great monitor, portrait view is great for .pdf docs.......2006-08-08

I have used two of these 191T monitors in my office for almost three years. One has been flown across the country (in a Pelican 1610 case, which now costs about the same as the monitor) a few times and is no worse for wear. They are both great monitors. We use them mostly in portrait mode for word processing and for viewing .pdf files of letter-size documents. We turn them to landscape mode for spreadsheets.

The included PivotPro software v.768 is pretty bad. It works on my laptop with an unsupported Intel graphics card (82852/82855), which gives me an extended screen, with the laptop in landscape mode at 800x600 and the monitor in portrait mode in 1024x768. The other monitor (on a desktop system) runs at 1024x768 on a NVidia card that includes a pivot feature, so it does not run the PivotPro software. I suggest using a graphics card that lets you avoid using the PivotPro software.

great monitor, good price, i have owned mine for the better part of two years now. i have recommended it to all my friends, and four others have the same one and they seem very happy with it. Clear text, and fantastic picture quality. everything is included and although it does the Pivot deal with the picture, never really used it. it has adjustable height and tilt. only problem with this monitor is i cannot find another one. Samsung has other models out but this one is discontinued. i'd recommend this monitor for anyone that spends SERIOUS time in front of the computer.

Super looking monitor, part II.......2003-11-07

I am returning with my second review for this monitor, and my rating hasn't changed. But from what I have to say, maybe some of you out there may lower my rating. First, in my first review, I said that the monitor had two dead pixels. I've since found about 3 more. They don't all show up at once though. It depends on the background color of whatever you-re looking at e.g. games, web-surfing. One is always blue when it should be black. On a white background, as I type this, there's one pixel that's stuck in red. It would have been nice if the monitor was perfect with out any defects like these pixels, but I'm an easy going guy and never felt a need to return the monitor because of this.

On my old CRT monitor, I was used to having the resolution at 1024X768. Switiching to the Samsung's native 1280X1024 made things like pictures in webpages look smaller at first, but I quickly adjusted and it's no big deal. You can see more of the web page without scrolling at this resolution anyway. Other reviewers mention rotating the monitor, and yes, it comes with special software to adjust your screen when you rotate it. Unfrotunately, I haven't taken the time to learn how to rotate my monitor. The instructions come on a d CD, not a printed booklet I i wasn't able to find out how to rotate the monitor from this CD. I'm sure the insructions are in there somewhere, but i need to look harder.

Gaming: With the native resolution at 1280X1024, I prefer to leave my monitor at this setting at all times. I don't like the fuzziness of graphics/letters when shifting to other resolutions (I.e. UI'm spoiled by the sharpness of the native resolution). So, if you want to play your computer games at the native resolutioin, you need to make sure that you have a fast computer. I notice ghosting during the cutscenes of GTA3. and if I go to www.gamespot.com and scroll down a web[age, you can notice the refresh rate isn't as fast as a CRT (the screen "blinks" as you scroll). This only happenes from gamespot's website, and it's really not a big deal to me. Overall, I think the colors/graphics of games still look very nice on this monitor. Yes, CRT is sharper, but the Sam,sung comes pretty close. Plus, you save all that desk space. SO, I don't feel like going back to my old CRT (Sony 21" GDM-F500 from ~1998).

I'm happy with my purchase of this samsung.

A treat for the eyes.......2003-11-03

Nice monitor, with two interfaces (analog & dvi), easy to setup and use; no dead pixels. Brightness is perfect and contrast is nice. I recommend it.

Awesome monitor.......2003-10-26

I compared this new monitor to my old LCD 19" from NEC side by side in a dual monitor setup and I could tell the brightnes and clarity that this monitor gave over it INSTANTLY! For a 19" it looks incredibly large, out of the box and on my desk it was ready to use and play games perfectly, no ghosting at all. I highly suggest this monitor!
