ViewSonic's VA902b, Acer's Acer ALI916, and CMV's CT-934D are among highlighted, inexpensive 19-inch LCDs compared. Most choices available are online, although evaluators found an ad for a KDSS K915x at a local CompUSA store, which sold out before they could grab one. Their online searches took them successfully to TigerDirect.com, Newegg.com, and Micro Center Online, where an Acer AL1916 19-inch LCD monitor with a 12-millisecond pixel response rate was purchased (including two rebates). Testers also watched bargain sites such as Techbargains.com and SlickDeals.net, where some acceptable buys were found that were relatively unknown brands. Testers read many reviews of mixed quality that caused some suspicion over claims. Testers found that low-cost LCDs usually omit user-friendly features, such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports of entertainment ports such as S-Video, component, and composite video inputs. Testers purchased a Hanns-G and a X2Gen at TigerDirect.com that fit the budget, but passed up a DCL monitor at Costco.com because there was a 5 percent fee for nonmembers that would have put them over budget. They also purchased a CMV CT 934D at Newegg, but passed up a ViewSonic VA902b that was refurbished. Testers urge LCD monitor shoppers to see the display in person if possible, read reviews and comments, look for a three year warranty on parts, labor, and backlight, seek a luminance rating of 600 candelas per square meter, and make sure there is a 30-day money-back guarantee against defects from the vendor.
