ViewSonic Optiquest Series Q2162wb 21.6" WSXGA+ 1680 x 1050 D-Sub LCD Monitor

Pros: Casing looks nice, as does the picture, ViewSonic name.

Cons: no DVI port (hence, no DVI cable) Dead pixel a little above center-left midpoint, though only noticeable against black.

Overall Review: For about the same cost as a 19" LCD monitor, you can't really go wrong with this 21.6" OptiQuest, if that's your budget: maybe that mine just happened to have a dead pixel is not typical, but between the OptiQuest branding and the lack of DVI, it basically screams "budget LCD", so know what you're buying before you buy it.

Pros: big, bright, and the buttons for the front seem durable ( the cheap ones on my previous monitor broke off)...decent resolution, and a great price, if i ever get my rebate in. no dead pixels

Cons: rebate means waiting for my own money back, also, on the sides, particularly near the bottom of the monitor there seems to be some bleedover light especially visible if there is a dark screen, or you are viewing it from another angle. no dvi

Overall Review: as long as you read the reviews, understand what you are buying, this is an ok monitor.

Pros: I love the size, clarity, and watching TV on this monitor. I was able to watch TV, chat, and surf the web all at the same time and I was able to see what I was watching (better than I was on my 12"tv).

Cons: No DVI-d port. I think that I will be able to live without that though.

Overall Review: I was in need of a new monitor. My girlfriends monster 17" crt was almost dead, I gave her my 19" lcd, and my Ergotron 45-174-300 arm. I bought the Ergotron 45-179-194 LX arm, this monitor and I havn't looked back.

Pros: Good price. Good resolution. Nice looking monitor. A big step up from a 17-inch CRT; very nice to be able to see two pages side-by-side (which is why I purchased a 22-inch model).

Cons: Two dead pixels near center, but no streaks or lines. Once you know the pixels are there, the eye automatically goes to them whenever there is a dark single-color screen.

Overall Review: It is a 'value' monitor, so don't expect the performance of others costing 1-1/2 times as much.

Pros: Use word processors with 1/2 in. letters and still get half a page on the screen not to mention web browsing. I would not recommend using this unit to monitor video feeds otherwise great.

Cons: A DVI would be nice, but it is the off brand of Viewsonic. One sticky pixel buy unnoticeable.

Overall Review: Lucked out and got a pristine open box for $180, Thanks Newegg!

Pros: Came with no dead pixels, Looks great, Works great, Cheap in price but doesn't seem to be cheap in make.

Cons: None.

Pros: Very nice picture and resolution.

Cons: First monitor was RMA'd due to 3" - 4" bright line in screen. Replacement monitor has two dead pixels, which are very noticeable except on white background.

Overall Review: New egg is great to work with!

Pros: Large Cheap

Cons: Dead Pixels out of the box, a bright red pixel in the middle and of course not enough for warranty

Overall Review: They should not ship monitors with dead pixels! I had to get Riva Tuner to get the correct resolution. Without the exact resolution font edges will be fuzzy.
