Viewsonic monitor.......2007-03-26

This monitor is fantastic! Out of the box, it was easy to set up and, once the brightness was set, has worked flawlessly. Others have complained about the little "analog signal" box that pops up when the screen lights up, but on my monitor, it's down in the lower right corner and doesn't bother me. Overall, I have had no trouble with the monitor, it provides a great picture, and works well. I am completely satisfied with it.

Satisfaction with the purchase.......2007-03-08

I am satisfied with the acquired product, therefore it took care of my necessities. The image is very good and the screen is very great. It would like that the Amazon opened a store in Brazil.

Frustrated.......2007-01-21

I bought this item on December 18th 2005. About one week ago (1/13/07) the monitor simply blacked out. It ran for one day of flickering madness and finally made a sound that only a welding torch should before expiring completely. While it worked the monitor was amazing. 2ms response time in video games eliminated all ghosting in even the most graphic and motion intensive First Person Shooters like Half-Life 2 and FarCry- it even ran Elder Scrolls: Oblivion like a charm. Sadly, $500 (In 2005) was much too expensive a price for a product that was fated to last only a year and then self-destruct. Although a downgrade from 19" to 17" I replaced the VX922 with the Samsung 731BF- 2ms response time and it costs less than $200. I also noticed that the Samsung 731BF gives off much less heat- it's only moderatley warm to the touch even after hours of use.

Normally I do not comment on computer tech. because I find that many electronic gizmos have love/hate ratings. But this time I have to seriously warn anyone looking at this monitor- DO NOT BUY- perhaps I had a bad expirience of a monitor breaking before its time, but there is no need to throw money away- do some research and find another model. Good luck in all of your future monitor hunting!

Ok, there is a 3 year Limited (Very limited) warranty for this LCD screen. On the phone with the Viewsonic warranty department the rep. that I spoke with said they will only replace your broken unit with a new one for 90 days. After this period you can return the item for repair and if they can repair it they will. However, if the item cannot be repaired you are at the mercy of what they send you to replace it. I was told that replacements are usually other refurbished units and sometimes they aren't even the same model that you initially purchased. Needless to say I'm as dissatisfied as ever especially because I had to pay the $20 shipping fee as well. I will be getting some type of LCD back in the mail- in the meantime I stand by my previous post ---DO NOT BUY!

Best LCD for gaming.......2007-01-12

Works great for gaming, I haven't noticed any visable color smearing.

Nice monitor for general office related work.......2007-01-09

I reviewed and considered many different monitors before settling on this monitor. I have used this monitor for about 6 weeks now. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. I chose this monitor over other higher priced monitors as I did not have a need for an expensive graphic rendering device.

I am somewhat disappointed in the apparent lack of height adjustment for the display. However, the stand mount is screwed in, so it could be a simple fix of installing a new height adjustable stand.

Under normal operating circumstances and positions, I found the viewing screen to be clear of blemish or darkening, due to viewing angle. I did, however, find a viewing position (that was rather uncomfortable, BTW) where the top edge of the viewable display was slighlty darkened compared to the remainder of the screen.

While the optimal operating resolution of this monitor is 1280x1024 and also happens to be my preferred resolution, it would be nice if higher resolutions were also available.

I would recommend this monitor to others looking for a monitor for use under similar circumstances as I use the monitor under, which are general office related and recreational use. I am no gamer, so I cannot comment on this monitor's feasibility under those operating circumstances.
