Great for the Money6/18/2006 8:59:34 AM
Pros: Rating based on 2 monitors - Excellent color, clarity, pix controls. No bad pixels!! Fast delivery. Thanks Newegg. Works very well for on-screen video (TV) and graphics in Native Resolution.
Cons: Shipped in Retail Box without the flaps being taped. Some box damage to one and a lock flap loose on the other. Permanently attached video cord is too short to reach floor mounted tower cases. Forget the audio. Pretty bad sound. No height adjustment - only tilt.
Overall Review: Adding an extension cable causes slight ghosting which is typical. If you need one, be sure to use the best you can afford and the shortest lenght possible. It comes with the brightness and some other controls at MAX. Spend some time setting it up and it will be a an excellent monitor for the money.
Pros: Picture quality and refresh is good, suitable for gaming. Is bright and has good contrat and color.
Cons: We bought 18 of these for our Community Computer Center, 17 of the 18 all had one stuck pixel, either blue or green or red. I tried all the tricks to get them unstuck only one of them occasionally goes out but always comes back on later.
Overall Review: In my opinion one or two monitors with a stuck or dead pixel is acceptable, but 17 out of 18 is a maufacturing defect. I would not buy these again and might reconsider the brand name. They will not warranty until 8 dead pixels.
Cons: Out of 33 units I have purchased.
5 of them die within the first month of use.
Thanks to Newegg service I got quick replacement.
The power supply dies.
A high rate of failure which I don't understand, knowing Viewsonic to be a good product.
Cons: The power cord and vga cord are quite short. I bought two of these and one has a "white screen" issue where it is white for 30 sec-5 min every time I power it up...quite annoying but supposedly will be fixed by Viewsonic.
