The 191T was a large success, but it had a few pitfalls that needed to be addressed.  Perhaps it was our particular review sample, but we had a slight problem replicating certain warm hues correctly.  Since the substrate in both the 191T and the 192T are identical, upgrades in the signal processor and firmware might result in enough changes to remedy any problems we ran into.

As no surprise, the specifications for each monitor are pretty much the same.  Interestingly enough, the working and standby wattages are different.

Our monitor came with two dead green sub pixels.  However, after about a day of use, the sub pixels rejuvenated.  While it is not uncommon for sub pixels to come back after going dead, we are surprised that this occurred with dead sub pixels that we did not rub or coerce back to operation, particularly after just rolling out of the factory.

    OMG...people i need help. I live in Montreal, Canada and i really i want to buy this monitor but wherever i go they only offer me the 191T+ and i want the 192T ! One bcz it looks so kewl and second because it's better then the 191T. What's the difference between 191t+ and 192T except the look and the speakers? Does anyone know a good online store where i can buy the monitor with shipment to canada for a regular price...i have 850$ for a lcd 19".

    Please help me if you know...i found something neutroncanada.com but it looks aweful and i dont know if i should trust them.

    Thanks,
    Elessar.

    The VX900 is an awful monitor. I feel sorry for your horrible experience. To go from a 192T to a VX900 is like going from an audi s8 to a honda civic.

    I just to say that I bought one of these monitors. I liked it, but when I took it home and connected it, there they were, I got burnt pixels right out of the box. I returned it and got another. The same thing happened again. As a matter of fact, I ended up returning it four times. I payed $750 and I don't think that for that amount I should be dealing with these problems. I contacted Samsung and was told that they had not experienced any problems, but I did, four times! That's too bad because the monitor was really nice looking. I ended up buying the ViewSonic VX900. I must say that I've had no problems of any kind. I don't know if I made the right choice, but I'm very happy with my choice. Thanks.

    I have this monitor and it is still awesome and going strong 10 years later. Color is fantastic and still beats any TN panels out there. Great looking too. I am finally in the market for a 24" though :)
