Reviewed on 2008-06-02 Great Value Just look at the specs and the price, that says it all. The resolution is fantastic; though not full HD, HD content looks great on it. At the time of purchase, this was the only 19" LCD I could find with a WSXGA+ resolution. OSD is easy to navigate, and the stand doesn't look as absurd in person as it does on the website. Contrast is great, though keep in mind that the 3000:1 dynamic ratio isn't the same as its static contrast ratio (the measure which most consumers have to come to understand as the "contrast ratio" for an LCD) of 1000:1. One drawback is that there is no HDMI input, but the monitor is HDCP enabled, so you could easily connect an HDMI source to it with a $10 HDMI-to-DVI adaptor [Eforcity HDMI-F to DVI-M Video Adaptor with Gold Contacts]. Finding the right monitor for you is all about your needs and how much you are willing to spend, and this monitor was exactly what I was looking for. This purchase met my expectations, which were high.

Reviewed on 2008-05-27 Defective I bought the monitor as a gift for my son. I set it up, it looked great. Walked out of the room and came back in a few minutes to a black screen. Turning the monitor off and back on gets a screen for only a few seconds. Tried it on another computer - same result. I used the on line support from viewsonic. They wanted me to access the menu but this was not possible. I was advised to return it for a replacement. After seeing the reviews here with 2 of the 5 purchasers having defective units, I am not sure what to do.

Reviewed on 2008-05-22 A Fine Display Good graphics, etc. My only complaint is about the software that came with it. Every time I turn on the display I must look for a minute at a small popup reminding me that I can change to a higher resolution. I like the resolution I've chosen and don't wish to change, but I can't get rid of this annoying popup. It says "Press 2 to disable the message," but that does not seem to work.

Reviewed on 2008-05-02 Monitor The monitor I got is defective. Support through ViewSonic is not the best. Having a real hard time getting someone to respond to my problem.

Reviewed on 2008-02-27 Great Monitor. Needs a good Graphics card to be useful. I have owned this monitor for over 3 months now and I am very happy with what I bought. Trust in the Viewsonic name and the fact that this was the only 19" model then in the market with a 1680 resolution made me decide on this. The price tag also helped (bought it open box for $193 shipped). Picture Quality: This is one area in which I could not find fault. The colors look a lot better than on my Dell Latitude 820 screen and also much better than the DELL external LCDs that I am used to at work. Very happy with this. Viewsonic delivers again. Build Quality: This is satisfactory though I must admit not the most solid I have seen. Ease of setup: I was able to set this up in less than 10 minutes as an external monitor to my D820 laptop and also equally easily got it running with a Inspiron 600m laptop. No problems there. Caution: This monitor looks good only when run at its maximum resolution and you do need a good graphics card to be able to drive it to its fullest. My ATI Radeon 9000 on the Inspiron 600m falters when delivering video on this huge size in addition to its own 1440 resolution screen. All that processing can overwhelm many laptop video cards. As a result, this monitor is quite useless with such laptops. It delivers excellent performance with a better video card though (NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M). Untested: This has a 2ms refresh time which is about the fastest you can get. To test this out, it needs to be paired up with a high end graphics card and some heavy duty gaming graphics. This I have not yet done. Also, having owned it for just a day, I am in no position to comment on its reliability (hence 4 stars). VERDICT: Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who needs a high resolution on a smaller screen size. This is an excellent monitor and a great buy at this price as long as you have a graphics card to match.
