Pros: I researched my decision very well & read many reviews. I chose this monitor because of the high reviews, super high contrast and the Viewsonic name and reputation in the old CRT's. I own 3 of the competitors lcd's and I have to say, THIS ONE BLOWS THEM ALL AWAY!! Out of the box I was amazed at the vivid colors & CRYSTAL CLEAR TEXT! And I've not even hooked it up with a digital cable yet. Could it actually get better???

Cons: Viewsonic could have provided the DVI cable with this as it's only a few bucks. Now I have to go buy one, just a mild con. Also they ship in an obvious monitor box so be sure someone is home to accept delivery. Box is not even taped shut.

Overall Review: No dead pix, no problems, people, take my word and my research and buy this monitor. You will not be sorry you did. Also as always, Newegg had my order processed and at my door on the third day & I ordered on a Sunday.. WAY TO GO NEWEGG!!!!
