Comments: I think the VP191b is great, although possibly too expensive for what you get. For basic web surfing, email, etc., it's wonderful (but so are a lot of other LCDs). I particularly like the swivel to portrait view. Tilt and telescope are very functional as well. I find the multiple video inputs nearly worthless because if the DVI signal is lost (reboot for instance) the monitor will "auto-seek" on the next available input (even if you don't want it to). As for gaming this monitor is very quick. My opinion is at odds with some other reviews here, but I think I can explain. The monitor does actually respond quickly and has minimal ghosting. However, the VP191b uses the Overdrive method of redrawing the screen. What you will see are artifacts where the screen overshoots its color adjustment as it erases moving objects on screen. For instance, in Half-Life 2 if you are watching a dark-colored enemy run across the screen with a bright background, you will see a white fringe where he's been before. So it's not really ghosting (a smear of the enemy's colors in the above example). Instead you see Overdrive artifacts, which usually appear as white fringes in the worst case. I think Toms Hardware has a good description. The actual response time seems perfectly acceptable to me for gaming and is unrelated to ghosting or Overdrive artifacts. If I move my mouse in a game, I see perceptually immediate results. Now, the benefits of Overdrive versus having normal ghosting are arguable. I think some people would actually be more happy with a blur than a white fringe from Overdrive artifacts. You'll have a loss of detail with on-screen motion without Overdrive, but the on screen appearance is arguably more appealing with the blur effect of a regular LCD.

Comments: it took me a month research monitors... (Research included reading reviews from many websites, the new egg reviews, and checking monitors out in the stores) also, i spoke with viewsonic and c/s was helpful in helping me determine the best monitor for my needs. why I was looking for a new lcd... my first lcd was an 18" mag. it was kind of dark and no longer fit my needs. my needs... in descending order: im a big movie fan, a writer, a web designer, and a bit of a gamer, so im constantly using my monitor for media assorted tasks. the basic stuff... zero dead pixels! shipping was a little slow this time, but maybe i've just been spoiled. (4 days.) well packaged, but don't let fedex leave this on your front step, it comes in retail packaging. the monitor review... beautiful. bright. im now running in in duel display mode (viewsonic with dvi, mag in vga.) right off the bat, i realize that i need to get another viewsonic, there is just no comparing the two. the image review... my video card isn't even all that great and this monitor looks beautiful. windows looks great. test is sharp. dvd's play nicely, picking up a lot of detail that the mag missed. (note: this thing is not a tv, but i find that it's close enough as far as brightness, contrast, viewing angel, and overall image quality is concerned.) let's put it this way, i will use this as my tv, and junk my 30" set that i've been using for years. response time... yes, there is a little ghosting, but it's not that bad at all. if the minimal amount of ghosting this moniter puts off bothers you, then it is obvious that you do not have a girlfriend. the physical description... it looks sexy! i am considering asking it out on a date Friday night to go ice-skating. with its thin edges it looks great next to another monitor. it has the easiest to use adjustable spring loaded (up and down) positioning. plenty of tilt, and you can even tilt right and left. the pivot software is fine as far as i can tell (did not test pivot 100% yet), and it makes reading long documents easy on the eyes. general notes... use the driver disc supplied, i found that the image quality is heightened by installing the proper software, and running the screen in it's native resolution. resolution review... 1280x1024 - beautiful. professional quality. 1024x768 - still beautiful. really no degradation in image quality. 800x600 - image quality slips, but is still useable (just reminds me of my mag. summery... if you're trying hard to find the right monitor, you're already looking at it! just click the add to cart button and take a chance. it's pretty classy, and the $xxx is justified.

Comments: I believe many reviewers have not had the luxury of directly comparing this monitor to other LCDs which are available. The monitor is beautiful for desktop use (word processing, browsing the internet, etc). It's also fine for movies. The problem is this monitor is TERRIBLE for games. Ghosting is quite bad and very noticeable. I was rather disappointed by some of the expert reviews (THG) on this monitor because you can easily tell that this monitor does not respond as quickly as other panels. The graphs are misleading compared to what I see with my own eyes. If you are considering this monitor for games I highly recommend you consider the Hyxxxdai L90D+ instead. It performs much better and does not suffer from ghosting like the VP191B does. The L90s color is almost as good as the VP191B's as well. In fact colors are actually more vibrant on the L90 and its black level is deeper (but be sure to install the color calibration that comes on the L90s CD or it will be overly red). I gave the monitor 2 stars because it is a decent monitor, but not good for games, and it's highly overpriced compared to the L90D+ which is in my opinion a better monitor.

Pros: My first LCD. I love it. I do not use it for games only for desktop work.

Cons: Maybe price.

Comments: Great price for an Excellent panel. Nice uniform backlight, great contrast and bright colors. Swiveling base turns plenty far in both directions, and is height adjustable with no tools, very easy. Stays where you put it too. Also includes standard VESA mount point in case you want to put some other wall mount or another base on it (You won't need to unless you want to mount it on a wall, as the base it comes with is the best I've ever seen.

Comments: Been using this LCD for about a month or so and is just great!!! nice desing and good options. Games and Movies look fantastic on it. and best of all it came with not a sigle dead pixel!!! A must buy for anyone looking into upgradeing into an LCD...

Comments: I am currently running a pair of these monitors on a GeForce 6800 (dual DVI) and they are great. I don't have any other LCD to compare them too, however I have the main calibrated with Spyder.

Comments: My old CRT pales in comparison to this set... However, noticed a small amount of ghosting while watching "The Matrix", on the seen where Neo is talking to Morpheous in the dark room...(not that big a deal) Excellent color reproduction with digital images, games, movies etc. and a lot of room to work with on my desktop. Biggest issue I have with this LCD is that the power LED is yellow, and not blue. (I want it to match my coolermaster praetorian. It's that good. Buy it.
