ASUS VB191T 19'' - Expert Reviews

Review summary: The PG191 boasts a 2ms response time, a subwoofer and a touch screen OSD. But is this gaming monitor as good as it looks?

Verdict: The Asus PG191 does have an eye catching design, the integrated webcam is a good touch and thanks to the subwoofer, the speakers are the best I've heard integrated into a monitor. However, I found colours to be over-saturated and unnatural and severe ...

Review summary: Asus hasn't been in the display market for very long, but it's made an impact with the showy widescreen PW191.

Verdict: A functional stand and an interesting design do not make up for mediocre picture quality. At -310 there's a strong argument for purchasing a 20in 1,680 x 1,050 widescreen LCD instead.

Pros: The SanDisk Sansa e200 series combines copious features such as subscription compatibility, an FM tuner/recorder, voice recording, and photo and video playback into a compact and durable device. We like the tactile navigation wheel, as well as the ...

Cons: No AC adapter in package ; the buttons surrounding the SanDisk Sansa e200's scrollwheel can be difficult to press ; the mechanical scrollwheel can tire out some thumbs ; photos and video must go through conversion with bundled software ; the expansion ...

Verdict: Memory goliath SanDisk continues its assault on the flash-based MP3 player market with the CES launch of the flagship Sansa e200 series, along with the budget-class Sansa c100 series. The SanDisk Sansa e200 series represents a departure from previous ...
