Included pivot software is intrusive, use video card controls instead.
Native resolution is 1280x1024, make sure you pair it with a video card that can pump the visuals you want to see at that resolution (instead of 1024 with FSAA)

THe 17" tft i normally buy was out of stock so i picked up one of these on a lark for a customer. Now i want two of these for my office.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
A bad experience......

The only honest pro for this item is that I have 4 still working out of the 15 that I have purchased that do not have dead pixels or have been sent back for repairs once or more.

I can honestly say that I will never purchase from Viewsonic again for monitors or others. I have been given the run-around more than once on this product. I have had to return it sometimes twice b/c the one they shipped me back went bad again. Seems to have a bad nack of just dying or having just enough dead pixels so that its ugly but not enough to send in. Please if its anything you take from this look else where. They have barely made any effort to repair our relationship with them like say sorry for why they would send us two lemons in a row. Good luck to the buyers of this product in the future. I hope you are 1 of the 3 that will recieve one without problems according to my odds.

Buy something to test out, then buy a few more of them before buying the lot of them. We got a good one right off the bat and did not read reviews and had one of the worse buying experience of technology ever in my life.
