While there are plenty of 19-inch monitors to choose from, the 19-inch Asus VW198T is noteworthy for its high resolution and low price. It is one of a new class of 16:10 aspect ratio monitors, sporting a resolution of 1,680-by-1,050 pixels. That gives it the same resolution as a typical 20- to 22-inch LCD monitor, but less screen size overall. The result is that you can get more on the 19-inch screen than many similar sized monitors, and images and video will look sharper, but everything will be a touch smaller -- including text. Some users with poor eyesight might find that to be a challenge, so experts say to check out the VW198T before buying.
Reviews of the 19-inch Asus VW198T are not extensive, but it is included as part of a larger round up of 19-inch monitors at X-bitLabs.com. You can also read a good selection of user reviews at Newegg.com.

2. CNET (U.K.)
In this short review, Rory Reid calls the Asus monitor "gimmick-free." It's HDCP compliant, so you can play Blu-ray discs if your computer has a player. The speakers, however, are lousy.
