Pleasantly surprised by Dick on tigerdirect.com Dec 1, 2010
The order arrived within several days--amazing. The follow-up was equally great and the Planar monitor even better than I expected except for the audio (speakers). But, I had the benefit of reading prior reviews noting that shortcoming so I was ready ...
 
Not cheap, but worth the price to me. by None107 on newegg.com Jul 4, 2007
I'm glad Newegg made UPS their primary shipper. 1. UPS does not require a signature, they just put it on the porch and run. That works better for me. 2. Where I live (a small town) UPS service is superior to the other shipping companies. Buying anything ...
 
Perfect for any office or "cube"! by vchand on shopping.com Dec 29, 2006
As you may already know, I use the Viewsonic 2012WB 20.1" Widescreen LCD monitor at home so it would take a lot for another monitor to impress me. You may also know that I have just started a new job and with new territory comes newÂ… "equipment", of course. Well you will see me reviewing a lot...

Good Monitor by ContentInPA on dell.com Mar 2, 2009
I wanted to replace my 17" CRT, this was a nice choice, to not spend a bundle and have a good screen for picture viewing and the gaming I like to do.
 
Planar 19" monitor by Ms. Eddie M. James on amazon.com Jun 25, 2008
I really like this monitor. I have one at work and it influenced me to purchase one for home. The monitor is clear, crisp and easy to use. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality monitor at a reasonable price.

Better monitors are available by Eric C. Anderson on amazon.com Jan 19, 2009
This monitor is bright, but the image is somewhat fuzzy. The built-in speaker is very tinny. I sent it back primarily because of the fuzzy problem since I had external speakers that sounded much better. I think you can find better monitors out there ...
 
Disappointed by Mark S. on newegg.com Sep 25, 2008
If you are using this monitor you are missing a great deal of image detail! I'm comparing to a Dell 1905FP which I've been using for a few years now. This PL is replacing the Dells at my office, and I'm not happy about it. My company is so disappointed ...
 
Customer service is the pits by Geek101 on cnet.com Jan 29, 2006

Worst Monitor Ever by Wizzer57 on tigerdirect.com Feb 24, 2011
This monitor flickered in an unusual way, very hard on the eyes. I replaced it within a week with a Samsung B1940ER, a very fine monitor.
 
Had it with Planar bad quality by N/A on newegg.com Jul 13, 2007
Lasted only 3 months before it went dark with the power light alternately flashing amber, green, and off. 2nd Planar to fail in less than a year.

Planar PL1910M Review - LCD Monitors - CNET Reviews
Affordable; has nice speakers....Total lack of adjustability....Our biggest quibble with the PL1910M is its immobility: it neither rises, pivots, nor swivels, though to be fair, it does slide easily across the desktop...The 19-inch member of Planar's midprice PL family, the PL1910M, is a solid, middle-of-the-road LCD that offers decent performance at a good price......
