Review: Hyundai N91W 19in TFT monitor

The N91W is Hyundai 's latest widescreen 19in LCD.

Like the majority of widescreen displays of this type, it has a native resolution of 1,440x900 at 60/75Hz and a square pixel pitch of 0.285mm.

Despite the lightness of its round, clip-on base, the monitor is quite stable and tilts easily on the wide flat arm that joins the back in a hinge. Two analogue VGA connectors and one DVI-D connector are mounted across the back of the monitor on a downward-facing ledge that sits about 8cm from the bottom edge.

On the left there’s an IEC mains connector, while the three video connectors sit on the far right, along with a 3.5mm stereo socket for the built-in 1W speakers.

The 20mm black bezel has a 3mm silver trim. Five narrow, rectangular, user-control buttons are mounted in the centre of the bezel, below the screen, where it broadens to 24mm.

A continental and UK mains lead, 3.5mm jack audio lead, VGA lead, install leaflet and a CD-Rom containing the user guide in multiple languages and generic ICM colour profile, are supplied with the monitor.

Apart from the colour depth restriction, this display is hard to fault. The auto function on analogue inputs locks accurately and doesn’t drift and the display is bright and sharp. Even on non-native resolutions the internal image processing results in a surprisingly acceptable image.

The N91W is a decent monitor at a good price, but there really isn’t that much to differentiate it from the countless other 19in TFTs available.
