Customer reviews for the HannsG 19" Widescreen TFT Monitor

Only 2 disavantages: Doesn't come with a DVI lead (Buy a Dabs one for £6, works perfect!) and speakers not very powerful. Otherwise what a bargain for £123 (Jan 07). Comes in strong box with driver, instructions, VGA cable and speaker cable. Looks great in silver, hidden speakers. Can be wall mounted with 4 screws. 3 years warranty. Very pleased with it!

My old 17" CRT went pop on Saturday and so I was in need of a replacement. I had been tracking the HannsG 191 for a while and the latest price drop was a great incentive. Placed my order on Sunday night 11pm and the kit turned up today at 8:30am - good work dabs! Monitor worked out of the box with a dabsvalue dvi cable, no dead pixels, no setup other than turning the 100% brightness and contrast to more tolerable levels. Tried it out with Need for Speed, a DVD movie and Photoshop files - all pinsharp and no lag - what more do you need? Buy one now!

I am very impressed with this monitor. It looks great and the quality of the image is brilliant. I am a Mac user, and even though they do not support Macintosh I just plugged it into the VGA port and it worked straight away, in system prefs. it even recognised the screen ID and size - no software to load. I have not used the speakers yet, as I have powered ones. I have done video editing on it with Final Cut and watched a DVD through it and, for the money, you just can't beat it. I would advise anyone to get one of these, and the service from dabs was second to none, I ordered it on Monday and it turned up the next day.

First of all the monitor arrived really quickly, thanks dabs. Secondly, this is one fantastic monitor. I was a bit nervous about ordering this monitor as I had not heard of the name before. Do not let this put you off, the monitor was a breeze to set up and as far as i can tell zero dead or stuck pixels. The monitor speakers are nothing to write home about but what monitor speakers are. The styling is nicely understated with good clean lines and no clutter on the front. Many people have commented on the screens brightness and I agree with them it is bright, I have mine turned down to zero. You will not find abetter monitor for cheaper. If your GFX card has DVI ports, I recommend that you get a DVI cable at the same time (quick link 2455WS) for only a tenner well worth it.

I bought this upon a recommendation from a friend and I am more than happy with it. The service from DABs was first class, arrived the next day! The monitor is so easy to set-up and the images are so clear. I would also recommend this, as the value is so good!

i would recoomend this monitor to anyone really. Tho i haven't tried out the gameplay with my 360 yet. but for now for pc gamings it amazing, tho in some games such as dawn of war it doens't like 1440x900 resolution. I also had a problem with it and my 8800GTX graphics card, i had a huge black line across my screen at first i was like oh for god sake,, cause i have antoher of these monitors here and it had had deadpixels on it tioll i fixed it so i thought this was a common trait , tried to get rid of the line but all failed, i was about to request collectiona dn returning info from dabs when i figured i'd try one last thing and update /reinstall my graphics card drivers and well the line has gone... tho i'm testing it thoroughly now. Anyway overall the monitor is very good. very clear and a proper bargain. tho i am a bit annoyed that it didn't come with a dvi cable and none of my dvi adapters work on it... so yeh.

This is a great monitor, especially taking into account the price and, as usual, Dabs delivery service was superb - ordered at about 3pm and delivered next day at 8:30am using next day service. It is a shame though that the control buttons are so small and difficult to use. In fact I still have not yet found how to adjust the monitor screen. Fortunately it does not really need adjusting at the moment. Now that BT has (unfortunately)taken over DABS I hope the superb service I have been enjoying will not deteriorate. BT is my service provider and their support is appaling!

I must say that the first unit I recieved did have a dead pixcel in the very centre of the screen, but all products have the odd faulty one. Credit to dabs that returns and exchange was fast and easy. Other than that, this is an excellent low cost unit. The picture quality is superb and there's no ghosting, even though I run some heavily demanding graphics software. With reference to some other reviews that criticise the ease of use, I've not had any problems whatsoever? The buttons are small and tucked to the side to look tidy - menu system is logical and easy to use. I had to darken the image slightly as all the settingwere at 100% but did it within a couple of minutes. In my opinion the design is excellent. I've just oredered another one for my brother who wanted to replace his monitor for LCD on a budget. He couldn't believe a 19inch widescreen could be this cheap. 5 stars all round.

2 dead pixels I had on this one, even the plastic bits looked like they come out of a mould carved by a blind man, I did not want to risk to get an other one as my customer had to wait another week if the next one was the same so I went to Argos to get a 19" Acer for a tenner more that was fine. I must say that the returns are better organized with Dabs now no complaints there, I would recommend to spend a bit more on a monitor and get better quality to enjoy
