The name Hanns-G isn’t one that most computer enthusiasts are familiar with. It wasn’t until recently that this author came across the name while looking into inexpensive LCD displays. It turns out that Hanns-G uses HannStar LCD’s, currently one of the largest manufacturers of TFT panels. The Hanns-G name is thus a front for HannStar to sell their TFT panels.

There have been major price cuts in the LCD market, making competition among who can produce the best product for the lowest price. Enter the Hanns-G HW191D, a low priced widescreen monitor sporting features such as a 700:1 contrast ratio and a response time of 5ms. The Hanns-G HW191D is selling left and right, from both major online retailers and local computer vendors, at a retail price of under $180.00USD. Word among the enthusiast community is good, but in order to get our opinion, sit back, relax and enjoy the review.
