One thing we give the SyncMaster 193P a lot of credit for is that it is not built like any monitor we have ever seen before. The cable management is somewhat similar to the SyncMaster 192T and SyncMaster 172T from last year. DVI, 15-pin D-Sub and DC power all input at the base of the unit; great cable management.

The new design of the 193P incorporates very few hard edges, particularly around the panel.

Similar to other Samsung LCDs (particularly the 19" range), there are only the essential input options. One D-sub and one DVI port connect via the bottom. There are no options for S-Video or composite video. The Dell 2001FP has the Samsung 193P beat in this regard.
There are no additional features either, like USB hubs or audio input/outputs.

Can we just take it as a given that geometry on LCDs are perfect? Its rather tedious wading through a list of 5's to find out what's WRONG with a particular monitor. Perhaps to make it simpler, if you awarded 5 to all the monitors in a category, you could condense it down to a single figure so we can skim the page more easily.KristopherKubicki - Thursday, April 15, 2004 - link
Its too expensive to compete with the 2001FP. Its been on sale for a while but samples for review just arrived - go figureKristopher

The usually great review... :)I would like to see also a comparison with the LG.Philips 19'' 25ms S-IPS panel.
A monitor like LG L1910B (last version) or Iiyama E481.
Buyers say it doesn't have deep black, but is very fast on video and games.

Would Anandtech recommend buying the Samsung 193P over the Dell 2001FP?
