<< PC World's review of the monitor...where they said "Its graphics also looked good, but in a comparison with some top-scoring 18-inch models from this month's LCD roundup, the VG191 couldn't compete with the depth and richness of its rivals' colors." >>
I haven't read their critique and don't know what they stacked up against it, but all I can tell you is what I see. My screen seems very colorful to me, certainly not washed out by any means, and is every bit as good as the Viewsonic 19" CRT that sits on my wifes desk now. As shipped my monitor was overly red (including after using the color calibration software) - a very little tweaking with Powerstrip handled that.
I don't have a DVD, but CD video looks super - no ghosting. I don't game much; RTCW looked fine(no ghosting) but was at 800x600 so a bit 'chunky'.
Anyways, there are a few folks here with this LCD so try polling. My monitor shipped with one stuck pixel which I don't notice unless I look for it. I paid around $900 last December.
