The LL-T19D1 is both Mac and PC compatible and has one digital and two analog inputs, so you can hook up two computers to the display. But take note: While HP and Envision graciously include both cables, Sharp provides only the analog. As with the LL-T17D3, the LL-T19D1's onscreen menu for adjusting the image is counterintuitive. Unlike with most LCDs, which pair brightness and contrast on the menu, the Sharp places contrast and black-level controls together, and brightness can be adjusted only via the arrow buttons on the front panel.
The LL-T19D1's image quality, on the other hand, is quite good, thanks to a high brightness level and contrast ratio. Text looks crisp, focus is good with little pixel fusion, and the monitor accurately and subtly renders colors and shades of gray. The LL-T19D1 is backed by a standard three-year parts-and-labor warranty.
The Sharp LL-T19D1 is a solid, if inelegant, choice for a home or office display. However, competition is rife in this category, and other LCDs such as the HP L1925 and the ViewSonic VP191b offer more bang--and beauty--for the buck.
