Construction
  
Out of the box, the monitor is protected by a plastic film. All packaging is rather standard, and the monitor arrived in perfect condition. The box design is somewhat lackluster, but does include a handle. The Hanns-G HW191D comes in both a black and silver design. As one can see, the monitor base has an average footprint. Out of the box, the LCD itself simply clicks into the base without need for screws or any hassles. Unfortunately, the monitor base does feel and look somewhat low end. In order to remove the monitor, two clips are simply pushed together under the base.    After the quick assembly, one can see just how wide the monitor really is. The bezel has a cheap feel compared to other higher end LCD's, however nothing is seriously off kilter. The angle can be adjusted by simply pushing the bezel back. Where depth is concerned, the monitor profile isn't ultra thin, but is thinner than others seen on the market and could certainly be mounted. To the back of the monitor, we see the four VESA standard mounting points. Slits allow for passive cooling around the back of the monitor. As one can see, the components aren't exposed to dust as seen on other LCD's. Also in the back, are two 1 watt speakers.     On the right side of the bezel, the function buttons are found. There are five total for the entire monitor; Menu/Enter, Volume+, Volume-, and Auto Adjustment. It would have been preferable to have the buttons elsewhere on the bezel; perhaps in the front. We found making adjustments difficult. Also to the lower right is a green LED indicating power. 
The monitor comes with a DVI-D cable, VGA cable, power cord, manual CD, and an audio cable. The documentation was somewhat lacking. Video cards with DVI connecters are becoming the norm, however many still have VGA. Certainly, DVI is the way to go if supported. However, during testing, we didn't notice a real difference between DVI and VGA. |
