Monitor Review: DoubleSight DS-1900S Dual-Monitor LCD

As prices of LCDs slowly drop, multi-LCD displays become more affordable. Anybody can take two LCDs and put them beside each other. Doublesight is offering a simpler, more elegant solution: one stand to support both your LCDs. The result is more available desk space and a cool look that anybody can appreciate.
The LCD quality is average when compared to other brands. The max resolution runs at 1280×1024 with a 700:1 contrast ratio. Unlike most new LCDs, the DS1900S has no internal power; instead there are two power bricks that add some clutter. Without an internal power supply, the LCDs are a little thinner and lighter than average. The bezels around the side are ¾-inch, creating a 1½-inch display gap when you put the LCDs together. The LCDs mount to the base via an adaptor to the VESA standard mount points. You could take any LCD under 19 inches wide that has a VESA mount and put it on this stand. The entire unit is 33 inches wide and 17 to 20 inches high. The power buttons are touch-sensitive; placing a finger anywhere in the lower right corner of the LCD will turn it on and off. Each LCD has a VGA (analog) and DVI (digital) input; you could connect two different computers to the unit, or you could have dual displays on one computer. There are controls on the bottom of each display, so you can adjust the two LCDs independently: Source, Menu, Select and left/right arrows to make adjustments on selected items.
There are three different models available: the DS-1700S, DS-1900S and DS-1900WA. The main difference among the three is size: 17-inch, 19-inch and 19-inch wide. The DS-1900WA, the newest model, sells for $589 on the street, with better-quality LCDs and a slimmer stand.
