Features of the HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor
The HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor uses active matrix TFT technology. The viewable image size is 19" and the viewing angle is 140 degrees horizontal and 130 degrees vertical.
The HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor has a 250 nits brightness and a 500:1 contrast ratio giving it good picture quality. The typical gray-to-gray response time for the HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor is up to 12ms. With some games I played on the HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor I noticed a bit of ghosting.
The ghosting I found was not so bad as to make the monitor unusable, and many users would likely not even notice it on this particular monitor. The HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor has a 1280 x 1024 native resolution and has no DVI connections.
HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor in Use
The HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor is a good performer and will be superb in a pure office setting. Some home users, like hard core gamers, will want to shop for other monitors, such as the ViewSonic VX922 19" LCD, due to the slower response time of the HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor.
However, casual gamers and home and business users simply looking for a larger, low cost LCD monitor that can be used to watch movies, work online and play an occasional game will love the HP L1906 19" LCD Monitor.
