Any Experiences With The Hanns-g 19" Hc194
« on: September 11, 2006, 02:39:00 PM »

I can pick this up right now for 109 after rebate which is a slick price for a 19" monitor. I have heard people say its great for the PC. Anybody used it for the 360? Heres a few specs of the blurb; 700:1 contrast ratio, 8 ms response time, vga and dvi connections, built in speakers.

thanks for the recommendation. I got the monitor and have been playing around with the settings. 1 thing the default brightness and contrast is very high and colors appear washed out. Can you tell me what you have set them at? What other settings have u changed to get the best picture and colors?

I've got this monitor aswell..Yes it's cheap and has DVI but the speakers are crap and this is now my 3rd one.

1. 4 stuck pixels and problem with on/off button.
2. Had a piece of plastic floating behind the screen it was about an inch long.
3. 3rd time lucky i hope?

I will say this tho Hanns G customer care is second to none! the replace everything within 2days. TAKE NOT MS!

Also note the colors need to be adjusted to screen default instead of user.

p.s what resolution do you have it set on? mines 1280 x 768if you notice when you set it to the highest res it still outputs this res.

I had no problems with the piece I got. I have it set at 1280 x 1024 and it works as a dandy. I set colors to "cool" and found my bright/contrast setting was best at 45%/69%


I dont use the monitor speakers, everybody said they were crappy!
