The bad: Worst image quality we’ve seen in a while; obstructed DVI port access.

CNet writes “We’re not overly impressed with NEC’s LCD193WXM monitor. The 19-inch wide-screen LCD has strong enough image quality for the price, but NEC seems to equate utilitarianism with missing features. We wouldn’t expect a $200 19-inch screen to bowl anyone over, but competing displays seem to try harder.”
