A+ Huge, Cheap, LCD Monitor (Update... still no problems).......2005-03-02

(To be honest the BLACK F-419 is really nice also)

I wrote this review in January. I have deleted it and lost the points just to add some updates because the review is more important to me. The bottom line is that the monitor is even better than I hoped. NO DEAD PIXILS. NO PROBLEMS... like none, zero. I have found this monitor by far the best bang for your buck. As for going pro and paying more. Go pay more if you want a pro LCD monitor. But to be honest I would put that kind of money into a projector for widescreen movies. If you want an LCD monitor for Counter-Strike, Games, Graphics work, then this is what you want. If you want to present your $100,000 car via video to your client using a 19" LCD monitor in the show room, then obviously go spend $1,000 on a good LCD showcase LCD and not this.

Ghosting is there, but to be honest I have seen ghosting on this and the Dell but there is no way to get near no-ghosting effects without spending on pro LCD monitor, period. And we are talking not domestic Sony products that cost a bomb but pro line broadcast products not found on Amazon... i.e Panasonic pro range and Sony Broadcast stuff.

The NEOVO range sells like hot cakes and competitor prices differ vastly on this monitor because you can sell it at three times the asking price. Basically this is a 19" whooper LCD that sits next to 15" Sony monitors (at the same price or this is much less) and makes them look like little monkeys. The 17" pro models are usually twice the price but this big screen just gets snatched up because it is so much more in size and so much cheaper than the item next to it, and get this... chances are no dead pixels (anything less than 6 is acceptable as long as they are all not clumped together or something. AG actually has good quality monitors. I viewed several of these 19" monitors and have found one with two dead black pixels on white and even I would have bought that if it was the only one left. Seeing monitors is a good idea but AG seems like a good bet on-line judging by what I have seen although I must admit the box felt a little loose carrying it.

Turn on any LCD and the room suddenly gets brighter. Same with this model... yes it is an LCD!

The actual screen appears to curve slightly inwards, a nice effect with the 19" resolution quality (1,280 x 1,024). A Pro 256mb graphics card set at full acceleration and something like an MX1000 laser mouse and I am sure even pro graphics users would not complain about the neatness of their work. Gaming-wise you will never look at another monitor the same way again. In terms of graphics, I will say that the 19" pro monitors where really nice but a way more expensive. This Neovo beat most 21" CRT monitors, hands down, but there where some 21" inch CRT screens that could still compete with this at a cheaper price. Something to think about... but slim is in and the LCD is pretty much LCD.

Of course there are some drawbacks, the monitor does not have a perfectly steady base, does wobble a little more than pro models but does stay standing. You would really have to tilt the desk or hit it hard to knock it over. The pixels are also somewhat harsh if you look at the screen closely and you do see the pixels with clear 20/20 vision which means that it is not really high-end at all except for the size price factor.

To be honest the NEOVO F-419 is more like a very high quality 17" LCD monitor on blowup than a true 19" panel.

Unless you are doing extremely pro stuff like large 2 meter x 2 meter graphic prints or telecine 35mm motion picture film CGI which requires higher resolutions like 1600+, meaning popping the extra (triple the price) for a pro 19" model then undoubtedly you will have a more superior 19" LCD with a higher resolution and probably everything else. No one is going to disagree with you there, but those who have spent money on pro 19" monitors are going to want to keep them for at least five or six years minimum at those prices. Next deal next decade? The F-419 is not cheap but let's face it - I can retire it in three years time from now and feel I got some use for it. Would certainly buy AG again.

However the 19" blowup effect of a high quality 17" monitor makes this thing unstoppable except for those with bigger wallets. Viewing high resolution scans is like a new experience. Playing Half-Life 2 just improved the game like x 100 even though the ghosting on this monitor is a little more noticeable than the pro models but beat any 21" CRT hands down because it is LCD.

In short, budget LCD is here. 15" and 17" forget it... why waste the money? Get this 19" or go 19" pro or better for higher sums.

Pros:
- Best buy LCD monitor at this time.
- Gorgeous Price Tag.
- No dead pixels.
- Huge Size.
- LCD

Cons:

- Not a true 19" LCD.
- Probably under par in every department for a 19" LCD except for all working pixels.
- Ghosting a little stronger than the next $100 model but $100 does not buy you no ghosting (however to be honest there is no monitor like this at the price).
- No height extention (might need shelf)

A MIXED BAG.......2005-01-14

Been using mine for three months now, all in all a great monitor bright, sharp clean looking etc. I like the glass protection screen it was my main reason for purchasing. Now the bad news. It came with three bad pixels in the worst possible areas of the screen. Not enough for a warranty claim but enough to drive me crazy everytime i turn it on. For the money this monitor cost it should be perfect.

WOWIE.......2004-08-18

I just received the monitor - so this review is based on limited experience. Even with my integrated graphics card, I can't believe the clarity of the monitor. Now I'm in the market for a DVI based graphics card to really exploit this monitor. There is some 'ghosting' with rapid movement, but I think this obviously a deficiency of my graphics card.

Crisp, Sharp, Brilliant and easy to clean.......2004-08-08

By far the very best displays I have ever owned. Have two now and am ordering two more for my trading business. All the pixels worked out of the box. The digital verses analog is noticeable right away in this 19 inch display. The built in speakers can not take much input. However, the purchase was not made based on the quality of the speakers.. This display simply rocks.

This monitor is absolutely fantastic. I have been using it for a few months and my eye strain is gone. The digital and analog abilities are top notch so you want to get a video card that lets you take advantage of this monitor's features.

When comparison shopping, I checked out the specs and compared them to other 19" LCD monitors. These rank right up there in the top and the dollar value is quite reasonable. To get the same specs in other brands, you will have to pay $150 to $200 more.

I first saw this monitor in a store with other monitors to compare the picture with and this monitor stood out. There was only one monitor that matched the Neovo in picture quality and it was $900 on sale. The optical quality glass on the screen gives such sharp images that I am totaly awed.

The only thing I didn't like is the stand. While it is solid and sturdy, it is not flexable (no up/down). I removed it and have the monitor mounted on a mechanical arm that allows me to move the screen to any position including rotating it 90 degrees. My video card lets me rotate the view as well so I have full page views with a couple of clicks of my mouse.

The display adjustments are common sense and flexable and indeed, with the Neovo, I turned down the brightness a bit unlike other LCD monitors that have to be turned up to the max value.

The styling on the Neovo is impressive and gets a 10 on a scale of 1 - 10 in the "WOW!" department. This monitor seems a little pricy until you see the features and 19" size of the monitor. Then, you realize that this is a great price for a monitor with such great specs and is an attractive and functional 19" LCD monitor. The best recommendation is that I would buy it again without hesitation.
