Short Lifespan.......2006-12-01

I purchased 2 Viewsonic LCD monitors and both lasted about a year and a half before the left side of the screens went dark. No diagnostic queries or interactions could bring them back to normal. I contacted customer support and was told that Viewsonic would do nothing. Maybe I was stupid or naive in not getting a warranty beyond the first year, but I assumed that a good product, made with good parts, from a company that desires to satisfy its customers with a good QA/QC program to ensure that quality products are being produced, could make a product (or 2) that would last longer than a year and a half. Faulty assumption. With 2 LCD moniotrs having the same problem, lasting about the same length of time, on 2 different computer systems, this strongly indicates to me a non-coincidental problem within Viewsonic. I will not buy anything from Viewsonic again. I will spend a little more, if I have to, to buy a reliable product from a reliable company.

Eventually Became Happy with the Graphics.......2006-11-03

I had a Viewsonic CTR flatscreed that lasted more than 5 years. It had great graphics. Last year, it started going out and eventually put on life support. When I bought the Viewsonic LCD, I was not entirely happy with the graphics; they were not as sharp as the CTR. Any LCD was not as sharp as my old Viewsonic CRT. But time marches on and memories fade. I eventually adjusted and I really like the LCD now. The graphics are actually pretty good. I create web sites, so I need a good monotor. My old CRT was huge, and I don't miss all the room it took up on my desk.

The sound on the monitor is a joke. But who wants sound on a LCD monitor? Monitors are about graphics, not sound.

I highly recommend Viewsonic monitors. The quality is high and its a good company. If you are going to buy a monitor, decide your purchase based on what you will use it for--web design work, games, or just business applications. Then go to the Viewsonic web site and read the product information.
