Not properly shielded components
Pros: Good image and easy controls. Responsive and helpful tech support.
Cons: Horrible EMF protection. 1ms mode is way too dark.
Overall Review: This monitor worked great for me at first. excellent image and controls. One day I happen to have a Aim-n-flame lighter near the monitor and used it to light an incense. These lighters use a piezo igniter and do produce a good amount of EMF in a burst. Doing this near the monitor would cause it to flicker and the screen would almost go blank. Ok, and I hear you saying 'Yeah dummy those things do create a lot of EMF'. So I tried it near other monitors I have, nothing, not even on the cheapest Acer ones I have that cost half what this did. Lesson learned, I moved my studio monitors and anything else I thought would cause long term damage. Fast forward to now and the monitor has developed horrible flickering and horizontal lines. ViewSonic support was very responsive and has issued an RMA, I have to ship this monitor across country and await a repair now.
