Rating + 4 Good monitor, poor customer service


Pros: The monitor is crisp, clean, arrived without any dead pixels, doesn't ghost and achieves pretty much everything you'd want from a monitor in at a fir price.

Cons: The stand does not offer any adjustable height, just tilt. Prone to failure after 6-12 months where the screen blanks out, LED blinks green every second or so, and takes about 5 minutes to restore video. ViewSonic customer service has horrible replacement polices. The first time it must go in for repair, which will take 10-14 business days, with no replacement monitor.

Other Thoughts: While I do like the monitor, I will never buy from ViewSonic again. Their policies are terrible, their customer support bordering on rude, and would not come to an acceptable solution.

Rating + 4 Great for all...except RTS


Pros: -bright
-one of the lowest response times around
-very crisp
-no dead pixels
-viewsonic quality
-nice to look at
-great for most games
-viewing angle

Cons: -not fast enough response time for RTS (real time strategy) games for my liking

Other Thoughts: This is my first LCD Monitor and overall I'm pretty impressed. I play a variety of games, RTS being my favorite. Unfortunately, not even this monitor's great response time is fast enough for enjoyable blur-free gaming with games such as Rise of Nations. It's not horrible blur, but I'd much rather use a CRT for those kinds of games. But I guess if you compare the performance to other LCDs, this monitor is certainly top-notch. If you don't play RTS games like I do, I wouldn't waste another minute without this monitor.

Rating + 5 Amazing LCD Monitor


Pros: This is my first LCD monitor, which I switched to from a 19" CRT about 9 months ago, and wow, what a difference! Everything seems so much clearer and sharper. Seeing as how I never used an LCD monitor with a higher response time (for gaming), all I can say is I do not notice any sign of ghosting. It's like using my CRT, expect much better (and lighter/smaller). Also, this is by far one of the best/most stylish looking monitors around!

Cons: The only con I could think of is that the backlight is a little bright for dark games, but still easily enjoyable. Also, the backlight bleeds a little on the top and bottom when looking at a completely black image. The default brightness was also a little much, had to turn it down a bit.

Other Thoughts: My Rig - EVGA 680i A1 | Intel Q6600 @ 3.0 GHz (w/Zalman 9700) | BFG 8800 GTX @ 626/2000 | 2x 1GB Corsair Dominator PC8500| Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty | PC P&C 750W Silencer | Thermaltake Armor Black Full Tower w/25CM Fan | 1x Western Digital SE16 500GB | 2x Western Digital SE16 250GB RAID-0 (Windows Vista x64) | 2x Western Digital SE16 250GB RAID-0 (Windows XP) | Logitech X-540 Surround Sound | Logitech G15 Keyboard + G5 Mouse | ViewSonic VX922 19" 2ms LCD

Rating + 3 Roll of the dice


Pros: No dead pixels, I must be lucky.

Cons: Out of the box i had black light bleeding from the top. Ghosting is minimal but still there. About a week ago after having it for a year and 2 months it finally stopped working on me. Every time i would start up my computer the monitor would flicker and the monitor light would flash on and off.

Other Thoughts: I'm going to rma it to viewsonic ASAP and hope i can get a good one which probably won't happen.

Pros: Good monitor that i can't wait to own.

Cons: Newegg sent me an email saying it was in stock. So i ordered one the same day. When i checked the order the next day, they said it was void because they didn't have the product in stock. I have been waitiing over a month. Its funny how they sent emails saying it was in stock when it wasn't.

Other Thoughts: I hope they credit my card in 2-3 days like they said.

Rating + 5 There are better, but it's good


Pros: Very fast monitor. You won't get any ghosting from this guy.

Cons: After playing BF2 or EVE on this monitor and then playing on a friends, I realized there are better looking monitors. Colors seem great when you have nothing to compare them to, but put the VX922 beside a different monitor and you'll see that the colors are actually a bit dull.

Other Thoughts: I've had 2 of these for 2 years now and I love them. Cheap, fast, never a dead/stuck pixel.

Rating + 5 Love 'Em


Pros: Purchased 2 for dual monitor setup. Very bright, had to bump the brightness all the way down. I like the one button input switching between digital and analog. I have the analog on one connected to a kvm. The display quality differs greatly depending on the source but do not blame poor resolution on the monitor. I could not detect any ghosting on FPS games at all.

Cons: One of the 2 had a pixel stuck on blue but it rubbed right out and has not returned. Hopefully not too many people will have problems with this but watch out.

Other Thoughts: Your display is only as good as the video card that is sending the signal. Image was fabulous on my eVGA 6800 Ultra 256 via DVI. I think my server has an MX400 and the display is muddled looking.

Pros: Great Design, No Dead Pix, Nice colors, good response, no shading. Have gotten the 17", gave to son, Then got 20.1" Widescreen for me, got sister this 19" all the same Design. All Perform Great.

Cons: Only con is to ViewSonic thinking the new design X-Series is better. I've seen the New X-Series and not impressed at all. This Design is by far their Best Work.

Other Thoughts: Shame on ViewSonic for even calling the New Design an X-Series. "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE" (Design).

Rating + 5 Great monitor


Pros: Fantastic color, etc. Noticed a huge difference going to this from a flat-glass CRT. No issues whatsoever for me (win XP SP2). Great for gaming or whatever else. Great quality for a darn good price.

Cons: The stand itself is sturdy, but it wobbles if desk is bumped. Not really a big deal, since if I was doing something to bump the desk I would be wobbling a bit too.

Other Thoughts: I've been using this since December of last year and I love it. It's not a wide screen, but I really don't like wide screens, so I'm happy.

Pros: High-quality monitor and nice details. The cables in the back tuck away nicely, the base is solid and monitor is easy to position. I have owned over 10 LCDs and this is the best one. It even looks bigger and better than my other 19 inches.

Cons: Price is high for a 19 inch.

Pros: This monitor is awesome! I won at dead-pixel roulette, so I have zero complaints about the visuals. Even though I'm living off of student loans, this monitor was worth the penny-pinching to save up for. I am now considering how I could justify buying a second one, I'd love to run dual monitors with these.

Rating + 5 the best lcd ever


Pros: currently the fastest LCD by far.
there are other 2ms displays, but this one looks the best. no shadowing, dead pixels, and problems. it also looks far
better on a DVI connection but also looks awesome on a VGA connection. it is also very bright and crisp on other resolutions other than its native resolution (1280x1024).

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: i was a long time CRT user because of the faster refresh rates and the range of resolutions and brightness. but this unit looks far better than my 19 inch viewsonic CRT. this unit was the turning point from CRT's to LCD's for me and i have no regret!

Rating + 5 Best 19" Ever built


Pros: I have this monitor since it has been released, if i'm not wrong it was around 2005 or somenthing alike.

I still have it, with no dead pixels. The only thing that happens is that somentimes, when through a great deal of black color it blurs a redish dead pixel, but after that the pixel vanishes, so not a biggie.

Cons: I wish the price was that when i first bought, paid around $450,00 with taxes + shipping.

The only thing that is bad is if you are playing fps games, you get flash-banged, the delay of the flashbang is more intense against a CRT. Except from that this monster is the best around.

Other Thoughts: If you are looking for a "best buy" in here, you just found. It's by far the best 19" non WIDE-SCREEN ever done by humankind.
I have various examples to see from, and my lcd beats them all with no hard work.

Rating + 4 Pretty nice monitor...


Pros: The colors are vibrant and the pictures are clear. The image quality for photos/movies is superb. It also works as expected (no dead pixels that we can spot).

Cons: Price relative to similar products - why does it cost more? The buttons on the front remind me of an 80's VCR. In a dark room the light (you know "backlit LCD light") bleeds through to the screen on the top - one gets used to it though. Also, in Counter-Strike Source, the screen is darker compared to my CRT and that makes it more difficult to navigate dark maps and spot other players even with the brightness/contrast turned up. The video card allows us to further increase the brightness but that causes other applications to appear washed out - it's difficult to make the screen look good for all applications.

Other Thoughts: Not sure if the 2ms response time makes any difference in movie playback / games.

Pros: Great Picture, good for gaming.
Bought 2 of them.

Cons: I didn't get my rebate, instead I got a letter saying that they wouldn't give it to me because my purchase date didn't fall within the program date, which is wrong because the main reason I decided to finally purchase this monitor was because of the rebate.

Other Thoughts: Viewsonic needs to take better care of their customers, and Newegg should seriously look into this issue because I bought 2 of these and feel I have been cheated.

Pros: Beautiful display. Colors show up really well. Being a flat screen, it saves a lot of room on my desk. The buttons on the monitor are helpful and make it easy to switch from my computer desktop to my gaming system I have hooked up to it.

Cons: Even though it started out with no dead pixels, I have a few now. They are hardly noticable.

Other Thoughts: Loved the monitor so much I got a second one. So now I have twice the awesomeness. I watch a lot of videos on my computer and this product just enhances it. I don't even use my TVs for anything anymore because these are top notch.

Rating + 4 My First LCD Monitor


Pros: Lightweight, takes up very little desk space compared to my old CRT. Square LCD at 1280 x 1024 feels just like my old 19" CRT except it is slightly bigger in actual screen space. Excellent front panel controls for adjusting contrast, brightness, and color (easy setup). Reasonably priced and quick shipping.

Cons: Icons and text suffer from not having full color depth (16.7 million colors), icons especially look 16-bit at 32-bit settings. One bad pixel in upper left corner (pretty good for 1280 x 1024, but not perfect). Slight light along top causes quarter inch gray area across top (rest of screen appears black).

Other Thoughts: Well this is my first LCD monitor, which I purchased after careful research. It replaced an old Viewsonic 19" CRT monitor that I have always liked. I actually went to local stores to look at Samsung, HP, LG, Viewsonic, and others. Most of those were widescreen, which is not supported by my older graphics card. I hit all the usual sites and kept coming back to this monitor as far as being the best match for replacing my old CRT monitor. I have always had good luck with Viewsonic monitors and hope this one holds up as well as my old CRT's. Being a color purist, I still wish fast LCD monitors went out to the full 16.7 million colors but I guess I will have to wait for the technology to get there at a reasonable price. I did fire up some FPS games with rain, shadows, fog, fire, and couldn't see any ghosting on this monitor at its native resolution which is one of the main reasons I picked this monitor. My kids love it and feel that we have finally moved out of the stone age.

Pros: I was a little worried buying my first LCD monitor especially with so many reviews with dead pixels or complete lines dead. This one looked better than any I researched in my price range and I couldn't be happier. No dead pixels, incredibly clear. Oblivion looks amazing and I also do a lot of Photoshop work and pictures are so clear and easy to work on.

Cons: I only wish that it could be rotated 90°.

Other Thoughts: A great monitor with a great appearance and great quality for an affordable price and for once I feel like I have room on my desk.

Rating + 5 Very Professional


Pros: This LCD is simply amazing. It's tall, well proportioned, sturdy, and looks very classy and professional with its silver trim and hollow base. The colors on this LCD are all very vivid and when ran in 1280x1024 resolution, everything looks amazing - from games, to text, to movies, etc. Also, the monitor is very tightly and efficiently packed by Viewsonic, insuring it will arrive in top quality. Gaming is superb with no ghosting or lag time as well.

Cons: Not much to gripe about except 1 dead/stuck pixel in the low center of my LCD. It's not noticeable at all and isn't in my direct view, so I am fine with it, as others have had far worse luck with dead pixels. If you are so picky as to let 1 or 2 dead pixels ruin your LCD experience then you may not want to even start using LCDs at all. Other than that there is a light bleed out at the top of the LCD, which only appears on completely black images, but doesn't bother me at all personally.

Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a very professional looking, top of the line, gaming LCD, this could be for you.

Pros: Overall, this is a very good monitor for the price. It has excellent picture quality, especially in game, has no issues with ghosting or dead pixels as some have said, and is a reasonable size for the price.

Cons: With LCD prices going down, this has stayed around the same 250-300 range. But still worth the extra cash.

Rating + 2 A little disappointed


Pros: This monitor is fast, but that’s all it is. Text in a webpage looks pretty good. Would make for a good office monitor, the text is clean.

Cons: I thought for the money I spent I’d get something of higher quality than this. The backlight bleeds through about a half inch on the top and bottom of the screen for the entire horizontal stretch. It’s real annoying watching DVDs with light gray bars on the top and bottom of the screen that should be black. It’s a complete eye-sore. The colors are just bland, they have no richness to them at all. I hooked up a 17 inch LCD I had kicking around and put them in an nvidia clone view (both DVI). The colors on the VX922 were grayish and bland compared to the 17 inch. I played with all of the menu settings with little improvement. I even called viewsonic three times, and 2 different people told me that this behavior was normal for this model. The third told me I could send it back at my cost for repair, but if there was nothing wrong with it, I would be out of luck anyway. It’s unfortunate I have to leave my first negative newegg review for something I was looking so forward to :/

Rating + 5 The Best in 2ms!


Pros: No dead pixels. The picture is clear and sharp with vibrant colors. You'll benefit from turning down the brightness when you get it. I actually have 2 comps hooked up to it, but with the 'Input Selector' feature I am able to switch between analog (VGA) and digital (DVI-D) hookups very easily. If only one comp is on, it auto-detects the feed. Sure I have two keyboards and two mice, but it beats paying bucko bucks for a DVI-D KVM switch.

Cons: It dropped in price a few bucks since I snatched it up. The connections on the rear of the monitor point downwards and are boxed in by the stand mount, so be prepared for some delicate cable bending during your initial hook-up. It comes with a DVI-S cable in addition to a standard VGA cable, but it should come with a DVI-D. Thankfully, NewEgg has some nice DVI-D cables for cheap.

Other Thoughts: I was skeptical about switching from CRT to LCD, but this monitor is solid for all applications. Just turn the brightness down first thing!

Rating + 5 19", you must be kidding.


Pros: OH MY GOODNESS!! WOW, this screen is so beautiful. I cant believe the fact that it's 19" because it looks so much bigger. I think it may have to do with the 5:4 ratio, but what ever it is, WOW!. Very elgant piece. Worth ever penny. Simply amazing.
Native res is 1280-1024. Very bright. Did not even need to adjust from factory preset.

Cons: I would recommend against using the drivers, they are not digitaly signed. The OSD (on screen display) is just fine for adjusting the colors. Newegg really needs a better packing system, the box was closed only with the box flap and not even taped.

Other Thoughts: I orignaly purchased the acer x191wsd (widescreen) from b***b** first. I had it for two weeks and on the 14 day, I returned it to order this one from newegg, glad I did. Widescreen is really for movie buffs, I am a gamer. Oh BF2 looks perfect.
This screen is for gamers. You will not go wrong with this screen.

Rating + 5 Best LCD


Pros: I have two of these in front of me, and I have to say that these are the best monitors I've ever owned. When using more than one monitor, an Ergotron stand is a must. Newegg sells 'em, and they're worth it for multiple monitors. The color on these things is great! Games play great with no noticeable ghosting.

Cons: None at all.

Other Thoughts: Don't get all down in the dumps if ghosting is mentioned during this monitor's review. Sure it's THERE, but it's so SMALL that you won't notice it unless you're looking for it. ViewSonic makes a quality product, and these will last you for many years to come. No dead pixels! :-)

Pros: Awesome monitor that can take a graphical beating :)

Cons: I have had the monitor for almost a year and have only managed to get 1 stuck pixel (I could probably unstick it if I tried, dark blue on black, can't see while gaming)

Other Thoughts: I use this monitor everyday and play have played lots of counter strike, Oblivion, need for speed carbon etc on it and yet is still works amazingly!!

Pros: I bought it when it costed like $xxx in stores. No regrets. You should see it to understand. The clarity is so amazing and the speed is awesome (thanks to Digital DVI output). Colors and brightness is just awesome allowing me to sit for hours playing or doing anything else. Very nice for gaming. At highest resolution (1280 x 1024) games look simly tasty. Oblivion plays so real and sharp same with other games. Also is looks sleek and stlylish and with nice black and white speakers added it all looks beautiful. ViewSonic Rocks!!!

Cons: None whatsoever.

Other Thoughts: My other thought is: I just love Viewsonic LCDs.

Pros: good color, good refresh, games work great on this monitor, no dead pixels, my monitor does not appear to have the bleed others are talking about.

Cons: if anything, not enough of a contrast adjustment.

Other Thoughts: I was hesitant to purchaase this monitor, especially after my viewsonic P95fb died at just over a year old. I also tend to be pretty picky when it comes to monitors, and in the past would only purchase CRTs that used aperture grill technology, which in my opinion is still the best, but what are you gonna do? I must admit there is some "getting used to lcd" after using a CRT for so long, and text is still not as crisp as I would like, but overall, this monitor seems to be worth what I paid for it.

Pros: Simply said, the picture quality of this monitor is FANTASTIC. I love the styling and the price is unbeatable. I was really concerned about dead pixels before I purchased it but, it just so happend to come without any. I upgraded from an crt and I must say I waited way to long since you can not go wrong with this buy.

Cons: only thing I can think of is the bleed out visible all around the edges of the screen with most of it being on top. This for me is absolutely NO problem at all, since you can't really see it until something black covers the screen.

Other Thoughts: newegg did ANOTHER fine job, the quality service always surprises me although I should be used to it by now. THANKS

Rating + 5 Great Moitor


Pros: Bright, clear display. Text looks very good on this thing. The last one I tried(not a Viewsonic) did not display text very well. Very light and takes up very little space on my desk, unlike my 22" CRT which weighs 74 pounds and occupies the area of a football field. Great for gaming. The response time is very good. No dead pixels for me. HOORAY!!

Cons: Colors are not as rich as my NEC CRT. Don't get me wrong, they are very good. I knew this would probably be the case and I can get pretty close after optimizing both displays(running two monitor setup). Still not as clear overall as the CRT. I went into this purchase knowing that it probably wouldn't be, so it's not really a huge con. Not enough to make me send it back. The space savings is enough for me alone.

Other Thoughts: Great monitor! In addition to the great response time and small footprint, it looks good too! Hey, this thing actually comes with a DVI cable!! What a crazy idea! I wish all companies would include cables with their products.

Rating + 1 Don't buy this


Pros: Was good for a month, until it blew up on me out of the blue.

Cons: Died in a month. While playing Quake 4 the power suddenly started cycle on and off until it fried and smoke came out of the top of it with a nasty electric smell (this was after I had shut down the PC as well). This is the first time I've actually had any sort of computer equipment fry on me. Since it's been one month and one week after I bought it, it's no longer available to RMA to Newegg.

Other Thoughts: This monitor was a replacement for my VX924 which exhibited the same behavior with the power cycling on and off, but only after the monitor had been turned off for a bit. I had the VX924 for only a year when the above started to happen. I don't even know if it's worth my time to try to RMA this to Viewsonic themselves, since I'd have to pay probably $20 or more for the shipping and I highly doubt they'd just give me a new monitor for free. Probably charge another $50 or so for "repairs" and then have the same thing happen.

Rating + 5 If Einstein invented a monitor instead of those stupid theories, this would be the result


Pros: Just received this monitor and hooked it up, installed the drivers, and it worked perfect right out of the box.

I'm a Graphic Designer and semi-pro PC gamer, and this monitor is amazing. If you're worried about response time in games, the 2ms time on this monitor is what you want. I can notice a delay with even 8-10ms of delay, but with this I don't notice a single thing.

As far as my Designing goes, I havn't yet adjusted the color settings, the brightness, or contrast because they seem perfect as-is, like the last reviewer said. All of my previously created works look better then they did on my old monitor (granted it was a very old CRT), and my works look better then on many of the LCD screens used at my college (high-end Dells and Apple screens).

Unlike the last reviewer however, I have absolutely NO DEAD PIXELS! It's not that I can't see any, I have good eyesight, I just truly have none. At first I thought I saw a few, but a soft rub and they were fine.

Cons: The only downfall I can find with this monitor is a lack of height-adjustment, but the height is perfect for me. It's maybe half an inch taller then my previous monitor, which also lacked height adjustment.

Other Thoughts: This was a gift to me, so money wasn't really an issue for me, which is why I chose this over all others. Although, it is actually a great price for what you get. Great monitor overall!

Pros: This is probably the fastest LCD monitor on the market and it shows. My games run very smoothly and look great on this display. I was very impressed with its response time. The display is also very bright. The On-Screen Display is easy to use and clear. Even though this monitor has been around for a while, it still has its place as the fastest around

Cons: The monitor has no extras. It doesn't have speakers, USB ports, or any of the other stuff you may see on LCDs today.

Other Thoughts: Who needs all the extras when you can have to sheer speed of this display. I think this LCD is worth the price for any gamer.

Pros: It's a ViewSonic, this is my second LCD made by them. This VX922 has brillant color, brightness and it's amazing how clear everthing looks on it. It's solid built & professional looking. The quality of this monitor is the best I've seen in long time. No ghosting during gaming with all games at the highest settings. Good for video editing, and regular office software use as well.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: No dead pixels. It wasn't doubled boxed during shipping like others have stated but the box it comes in is pretty thick cardboard and it has good solid foam around the monitor to protect it. I like this LCD so much I will be buying a second one very soon!

Rating + 5 Great monitor


Pros: I had a 19" kds crt monitor that was dying, and needed replacement. Since crt's seem to be going the way of the dinosaur and I use my computer for graphics and gaming 90% of the time, I looked into getting a quality lcd with a very low ms. I was pleasantly surprised to find that 19 inches on an lcd is slightly larger than on a crt. Color quality is super. I couldn't believe how vibrant the colors were. Things in some of my games that I'd never noticed before just seemed to jump out at me. For people coming from a crt to an lcd, even 2ms refresh won't be the same as a crt. There is still refresh lag if you move around very quickly in a fps for example. However after a short period of time to get used to it, the difference in fast paced games like ut2k4 or quake 3 wasn't enough to be a problem. based on this experience I'd be kinda afraid to go any higher than 2ms though, I play at such a fast rate in fps games that I really need a low ms. quake 3 with a 16ms lcd = absolutely horrible.

Cons: One pixel is stuck on a blue tint, I rarely notice it except on game loading screens that are completely black. One of these days I'll get motivated and try one of those programs that loosens up stuck pixels.

Other Thoughts: Did the input lag test, it had zero lag show up. This is important especially for gamers, if you've already got 20-70ms lag on your game, you can't have your monitor adding another 10-20ms. I'm not sure if the powers that be for newegg reviews will let this link in, this is a picture of the proof of my input lag test for those of you who doubt :o)

Pros: Good image quality, although color saturation and depth leaves a bit to be desired. Good all-around monitor (NOT used for gaming, ever). Great price point!

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Unlike any of the other Viewsonic LCD monitors, this one is a bit more suitable for dusty environments. There are very small vent slots in this unit (unlike most LCDS, which have hige vent areas), so very little dust can get inside the display electronics. Despite the virtually nonexistent vent slots, however, the VX922 runs substantially COOLER than any other Viewsonic LCD display, or any of those from other manufacturers I've checked in operation.

Rating + 1 Terrible Monitor


Pros: No dead pixels; it turned on.

Cons: I purchased two of these monitors, and both of them came with the exact same symptoms so the following applies to both monitors I purchased: The left side of the screen had a sepia colored tint to it, while the right side was normal. Text was terrible and hard to read as it was quite distorted and not clear at all. I had to constantly hit the "Factory Reset" button every time the monitor went on standby or when I powered up my computer, or when I came out of playing a full-sized game, in order to fix the text. Very annoying.

Other Thoughts: I purchased one of these from a local retail store and found it to have the above described symptoms. Went back for an exchange only to get the exact same symptoms. I can only recommend this monitor if you enjoy hitting the "factory reset" button every time you finish playing a full-sized game, turning your computer on, rebooting your computer, and coming back to a monitor that has gone on standby. If you can deal with that in addition to having the entire left side of the screen have a sepia color to it (as opposed to white), then sure. Go for it. But for this price, I think you are getting ripped off. The only remotely appealing part of this product is the 2ms response time, and I did not notice a difference between 2ms and 8ms monitors. I am currently on a 6ms HP monitor. Overall, I am completely baffled as to how this monitor has such a high customer rating on Newegg - I gave this monitor two tries and had the Exact Same symptoms on both. Coincidence? I think not.

Pros: For what it's designed to do it does very well. Picture quality is very good and doesn't miss a beat while gaming.

Cons: No height adjustment or anything like that. I wonder why they would leave that out? The viewing angles really suck, which makes it all the more important you're at eye level with it. Thankfully neither of these issues effects me.

Rating + 5 My first LCD


Pros: I have no previous ownership of an LCD monitor. However, I can state that there has been no problems watching movies. The specification of "2 millisecond" is probably correct.

Cons: Came with one defective pixel in the center, but I was able to get a replacement, which is free of defect.

Rating + 4 Excellent LCD Monitor


Pros: The VX922 has a bright crisp, clear display and is great for gaming. It will run anything you throw at it with little or no blurring or ghosting.

Cons: This product has a wobbly and flimsy stand. It moves sways back and forth when my knee or feet hit the dest or when i pull my chair up close to the desk and hit it withthe front seat of the chair. this is the only reason i gave it a 4 out of 5 eggs. other than this flaw it's the perfect non-widescreen monitor for ANY application

Other Thoughts: It's not a widescreen and since Bill Gates Vista favors widescreens and doesn't like to approve of non-widescreens you might want to think of purchasing a widescreen because we all know M$ and it's henchmen hardware manufacturing companies are forcing everyone to buy what THEY feel is best for you... This is something you might want to consider before purchasing this or any non-widescreen lcd monitor for it seems these non -widescreens will be going out of style within the next 2 years and are considered by many already out of date. If you decide to go with a widescreen lcd i suggest going with the Samsung 226bw, the one i almost bought at circuit city before i bought this one but didn't because the salespeople don't know how to wait on customers.

Rating + 5 Great Monitor


Pros: Great picture, crisp, clean. Absolutely no ghosting, even in games such as Counter Strike, Battlefield 2, or Vanguard. I was one of the skeptics that was not so keen on the LCD's because of the dead pixel issue, but I got this monitor and after 6 months of owning it I still only have one unnoticeable dead pixel on the far right side of the screen. Awesome color, and great response time. I'd venture to say it's the best 19" LCD on the market.

Cons: Not really a con but when it first turns on in the morning it has a halo aura around the edge of the screen. It goes away after about 5-10 minutes.

Other Thoughts: I have suggested this monitor to friends and family and had 3 or 4 people buy it so far. Simply the best monitor at 19" for an LCD hands down.

Rating + 4 Good - Fast


Pros: Very fast, no dead pixels, no ghosting, very good for gaming.

Cons: Very suitable for gaming, but the brightness and 1280x1024 resolution make it less than perfect for text editing and other work/office tasks. Backlight bleeding on dark screens at all four edges.

Rating + 5 Viewsonic VX922


Pros: This monitor is superb by far! I have bought various Viewsonic products through the years and this is another that does not disappoint. I use this monitor for my secondary dual head display and am actually considering changing it to my primary over my Viewsonic 20" Widescreen. It is crips and clear and perfect at it's native resolution for viewing web pages and reading my email. The colors and imagery are excellent with no ghosting. I play some online gaming and have found no problems whatsoever this this monitor. Initially it was quite bright out of the box so I had to tone that down. That to me is a plus though as I would rather turn down the brightness then to have to adjust it higher and not have it be enough still.

Cons: There aren't any!

Other Thoughts: There may be other monitors out there for cheaper costs but this one is well worth the price. Believe me I researched for almost a month before I bought this monitor and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Rating + 5 VX922 is an Excellent Choice


Pros: I should start by saying I've had a 19" giant CRT forever. I tried upgrading to a LCD awhile back but the ghosting drove me nuts. I love high end gaming, and am constantly trying to max my performance. When I heard about this monitor I had to get it. It was one of the best purchases I've made. No dead pixels, zero ghosting in every game I've played, excellent style.

A+ Choice for Gamers

My 2nd one should be here any minute.

Cons: On the down side it has no height adjustment, this didn't matter to me but make sure you have room before ordering it.

Also,
if you arent worried about ghosting then save 100 bucks and get a different view sonic. The response time is the REAL reason to buy this monitor.

Other Thoughts: If you are finally looking to get an LCD for gaming. THIS IS THE MONITOR FOR YOU.

Rating + 2 Could do Better for Your Money


Pros: This monitor came with no dead pixels

Cons: picture quality could be much improved. Ergonomics are not the best - limited adjustability. Colors seem unnatural and washed out. Left side of screen has a yellowish tint to it when it should be white. Bought two monitors and had same issue with yellow tint. Not the greatest viewing angle.

Other Thoughts: I am thinking of returning this monitor to where I originally bought it from. I am disappointed with this buy as I expected higher quality from Viewsonic. Overall a very average monitor, but I suppose the 2ms response time is good. Text clarity needs improvement, I have to "Memory Recall" from the menu before any text is readable. Quite an annoying nuisance I have to do everytime I come back from idle or standby. I would recommend to buy another product.

Pros: I bought 2 of these and they are connected to a BFG nVidia 7900 GS OC. Very bright, look great. Very happy with my purchase.

Cons: Both came with 1 stuck pixel. One was able to be fixed via massaging, but the other is still stuck (still working on it).

Rating + 5 Nice Monitor


Pros: The monitor was shipped with no dead or stuck pixels. Modifying the settings is quite easy, and it is possible to run both dvi and vga at the same time, and switching requires only a button press.

Cons: Monitor is slightly shaky on DVD playing, but I think this is only a problem when sitting 4 feet from the screen. This monitor is extremely bright as well.

Other Thoughts: The monitor is quite tall. Approximately 18.5" from bottom to top with no vertical adjustments, so make sure you check your desk fit. Also, I have played a few games so far with this monitor and I notice no ghosting. Those that say there is horrible ghosting are really just over picky and should stick with CRT or are on a hallucinagenic drug.

Rating + 5 The Best Gaming Monitor I have ever owned


Pros: Absolutely stunning graphics. I am not a photo editor so I will not comment on color accuracy. I use this strictly for gaming and web surfing. This is unquestionably the best LCD monitor I have ever gamed on. I have owned this monitor for 9 months now, without any problems. I have purchased many dozens (no exaggeration) of LCD monitors, over the years, and this one has performed the best, so far. Gaming is a joy, on this monitor. I run all games at 1280 x 1025 (refresh 75Hz) with a 7950GT and have never seen any smearing (ghosting). No dead pixels. I still prefer the 3:4 aspect ratio over the widescreen, though others may not see this as a big positive.

Cons: Price. Although it is considerably less expensive now then when I purchased this monitor, it is still kind of expensive relative to other offerings.

Other Thoughts: I paid over 9 Ben Franklins for my first Viewsonic 19" monitor (with a 25ms response time - which was state of the art at that time). These monitors have come a long way since then. I had been disappointed by several of my Viewsonic LCD monitors, in the past, but this one makes up for all of those. I can't begin to express how good this thing looks. If you are a gamer, you won't be disappointed.
