Imagine 19 full inches of prime monitor real estate seated on your desktop, just waiting for your attention. Out of your league, you say? Don't scoff just yet; at a mere $289 MSRP, Hewlett-Packard has made it affordable for anyone stuck at a mere 15 or 17 inches to jump into the 19-inch monitor game with its HP 92 19-inch CRT.

You might suspect that with the high price tag comes low performance, but that's hardly the case with this middle-of-the-road candidate that may just be undervalued among its class. First of all, at 19 inches, this baby is hard to miss. But it matches size with performance, starting with a quick Plug-and-Play setup and a smart yet easy-to-use OSD that will have you gazing at custom brightness, contrast, size, position, and all the other usual suspects in no time.
