ViewSonic X Series VX924 19" SXGA 1280 x 1024 D-Sub, DVI-D LCD Monitor

Pros: Clear image. Brighter at max settings than you would ever want it to be. No ghosting apparent in games like Quake 4, Battlefield 2, etc. Above expectations for the price.

Cons: Very minor ghosting in fast moving video. Saw an action movie and noticed a tiny bit of ghosting only twice with my eyes glued to the screen. Side to side viewing is fine but monitor goes dark when looked at from above or below. Shouldnt be a problem unless you can't set it up to be at your level. Another con listed in a review is that the monitor uses overdrive technology that overcompensates when switching from bright to dark pictures but the difference in overcompensation is lower than a usual LCD undercompensating by over 30%. In other words it's better than the standard but hasn't perfected the technology. Either way no other company has perfected it and again I can't even notice the difference from my CRT.

Overall Review: I'm writing this review for everyone concerned with ghosting and switching from a CRT to an LCD. I've been researching all-around performing lcd monitors for the past 5 months and this was what I settled on. I needed something good for both gaming and graphic design. The whole ghosting problem with LCD's that people mentioned worried me. But while the LCD has cons from what I noticed and reviews I read, the cons are minor compared to other monitors in the same price range. This monitor is easily bright and clear enough for any still image purpose and I could only notice ghosting on very fast moving images. If I wasn't looking for it I never would have noticed. I'm also switching from a 19' CRT and I don't regret it one bit. The people who complained about ghosting must be expecting practically no flaws and you can't expect that with an LCD especially for this price. Try spending 700+ and you might find something better. I'm picky about what I buy and I'm happy with this LCD.

Pros: Nice clear picture. No ghosting in CZ, CS.S. HL2.

Cons: 5 deal pixels out of the box. I am really disapointed. This was not a cheap monitor and their pixel policy prevents me from returning it.

Overall Review: Would not buy another Viewsonic monitor. I have been a faith full S*****g user until this purchase. I will go back if I can unload this piece.

Pros: First of all, this thing is pretty solid. The design is pretty sleek. The thing is great to work on for long periods of time with text and web browsing. The brightness and color settings are somewhat limited, but get the job done. For more in-depth adjustments, use your advanced settings in the display properties. Good LCD for the price. Only 3 dead pixels (hardly noticeable).

Cons: The specs on this LCD and some of the user reviews can be misleading. Although this monitor does not "ghost" using the standard definition, it does something else. You will notice when playing games and watching movies, that in times when other LCDs will "ghost", this LCD sacrifices pixel accuracy. If you look closely, you will see slight distortion or discoloration (only if you look closely). A review of this LCD out on the Web accurately describes this effect. I can easily play and watch movies on it without any real complaint, but the response times are definitely a bit misleading.

Overall Review: A good LCD for the price. I am happy with it for the most part. I still will be shopping around for a better Gaming LCD though.

Pros: Huge and clear screen. No dead pixels.

Cons: Base is a little large.

Overall Review: This is by far the best monitor I have ever worked with or even looked at. It has great color, sharpness, and is bright. All adjustable to preference of course. I can play games for hours and never get any eye strain or headaches like a got from my old 17" LCD. Screen seems even bigger due to a smaller frame. Just awesome.

Comments: In a nutshell, I just dove into the LCD market and after reading many reviews (and many trips to stores to compare monitors/manufactuers side by side) settled on this monitor. So far I have to say I'm extremely impressed. It came packaged very well, no damage, easy to install and up and running flawlessly in under 3 minutes. Takes some patience to get the colors/brightness exactly like you'll like them, but well worth the effort. Color is excellent, image is extremely crisp. I was using a 19 Inch CRT (Viewsonic A91f+) and there is no comparison at all. 2 Notes; some reviewers are having problems with being able to see/read items/text with the 1280 x 1024 resolution. Remember that you can adjust your DPI from the standard 96 to the larger 120 by using Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced. That should do the trick. Also, this monitor DOES come with a DVI cable (though it's not mentioned in the description or pictured) so there is no need to order a DVI cable when you select this monitor. I've been shopping New Egg for more than two years and unless the monitor goes belly up on me, this will rank as one of the highest value purchases I've ever made from the site. A solid 5 stars, without hesitation. Am thinking about buying a second one for my wife's PC. She took one look at the monitor as I was gaming and just said "you suck" so I think that's a pretty profound statement on this monitor being on a different level than you can usually get in this price range.

Pros: Great gaming LCD (currently playing Oblivian) especially at the low NewEgg price I got after rebate with free shipping. Good color. Easy install (Plug & Play for WinXP). Includes DVI cable unlike some Samsung's I considered. Comes with 3-year Viewsonic waranty. Typical fast NewEgg shipping same day as ordered.

Cons: NewEgg ships the Viewsonic box so unless you are on good terms with your delivery person, you better be there when it arrives else it will sit in plain view of all who pass by. The out of box brightness was too high for me but that was easily adjusted thru the OSD. The online Viewsonic registration process is buggy and the manual is only on CD but really no big deal here. The stand only adjusts for tilt but is at the perfect height for my desk as I measured before I bought.

Overall Review: There were no dead pixels which concerned me the most about ordered online from anyone. Just read the "terms and conditions" of your order to see the dead pixel policy. At least NewEgg is up front with their 8 dead pixel requirement. However at the low NewEgg price I could send it back twice, beat the best price + sales tax of my local retailer and still have $$ left over! BTW this replaces a Sony Trintron CRT with no regrets.

Pros: Starting off, the monitor is very slick to the eye; the colors match well and there are plastic covers in the back that cover the wires. Next, the quality of the screen is FANTASTIC. It is quite possibly the best computer LCD I've ever laid my eyes upon. Images are clear, text is crisp, and colors are well defined. The best part is that no matter what game I play - Half Life 2, Fable, F.E.A.R., etcetera - I've encountered NO GHOSTING at all! The price for the monitor is extremely good, Viewsonic includes a DVI cable, and, to top it all off, there are no dead pixels! Excellent!

Cons: My biggest complaint is that the monitor doesn’t have a height adjustment. Additionally, the cables could’ve been a little longer (especially the DVI one). There is some light bleeding that occurs when the screen is completely black, but this isn’t much of an issue. DVDs could be a bit crisper as well, but DVDs still look really good.

Overall Review: This monitor is fantastic. Along with any other gamer out there, I was worried with ghosting and LCD’s. Fortunately I have yet to encounter any ghosting whatsoever and I use the monitor every single day. I am extremely pleased with the monitor and Newegg as well; they handled everything professionally and got the monitor to my doorstep in less than four days. If you want an LCD for gaming, this should be a serious consideration.

Pros: This monitor being my first LCD truly is high end. Absolutley stunning upgrading frome a 17" CRT. No dead pixels, super quality from viewsonic. And of course New egg Rocks with turn time. Keep it up New Egg!

Cons: I can't find anything to complain about whatsoever.
