Pros: This is my First IPS LCD monitor and I tested it with "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" DVD and the colors looked like I was in a movie theater, with a little ghosting in the Title Screen transitions (Title > Producer, etc.) but it did not detract from my primary reason for this purchase. Great colors, IPS screen (under $300), 1080p, Pivit/Tilt (needed portrait mode for work as most screens don't Pivit), and a great price. This screen is used in a room with full sunlight, and I only have the brightness up to about 35 (out of 100), so it's plenty bright (despite what you might read in the initial reviews). The response time is 14 ms, but I'm not using this for gaming, and for my purpose it's great. No dead pixels.
Cons: The base/stand could have been designed with a little more attention. The height adjustment is 'held in' by a single cotter pin that is pushed in a hole between two plastic tower pieces that comprised of your base. It's as if the height adjust mechanism is an afterthought. View Sonic skimped on the design/weight/heft of the base, and it's a little precarious if you happen to knock it over. Small danger, but nevertheless there. They should have used a weighted base. the base is hollow molded plastic. Monitor is top heavy. Height adjustment is 2 position, no incremental height adjustment (you'll need a big telephone book under it if you need more height beyond portrait height). 1 Egg off for the sub-standard Base/Stand.
Overall Review: I only have this monitor for a week -- so longevity is unknown, but 3 year warranty provides a nice piece of mind. at full 1080p resolution, the characters (default size) is a bit smaller to read for someone in the 40's, but shouldn't be a problem for teenagers. Overall I am satisfied w/ my purchase. I have held off purchasing an IPS 1080p LCD monitor for a few years waiting for value, and I hope this will be a happy purchase. I didn't use the USB stuff, and you should already know there are no speakers or HDMI connections. As a comparison, I just put away a Sony Multiscan 520GS (21 inch Trintron CRT Tube) as comparison but will be keeping it as well. Hard to beat CRT for true colors, and this thing uses 40watts versus the CRT for 160watts (less heat in summer).
