Great Product!!.......2007-06-08

I highly recommend this Optiquest Monitor to anyone looking for a wide screen monitor, plug-n-play use, clear crisp images and a GREAT deal! I've come love it so much that I'm debating with myself as to whether I can justify getting one for my home office.

Please...do yourself a favor and get this monitor if you have a chance!

Excellent Monitor. Replaced a 17 inch LCD. Good price. Viewsonic makes an excellent monitor. Clear & bright. Did not need to do any adjustments. Runs on a Macintosh G5 with an ATI X850 XT video card using native resolution.
Other than not being height adjustable no short comings.

I have two Viewsonics, this one (Q20WB) and a non-widescreen VX922 (owned for over one year), and am quite pleased with both, and feel the brand in general is a good one. There are no dead pixels on either monitor, and no technical problems to report. Viewing angle is superb, without the "blind" effect of lesser LCDs. I am rather pleased that power consumption is low, because that saves me money.

The Q20WB comes with only a 3' VGA cable and no DVI cable, but this was not a problem for me, because my PC only has a VGA port anyway. Windows 2000 had no problem whatsoever in installing and using this monitor. Of course, the first thing you do whenever you buy new hardware is hit the manufacturer's web site, [...], for the latest and greatest driver. I never use any installation CD, because it could be outdated by the time you receive it. The next step in the case of the Q20WB is to visit Windows' Control Panel | Display and change the Settings to 1680 x 1050, the recommended and highest resolution. All I can say is, WOW. I have more desktop space than I know what to do with now. The last step for me was turning the brightness down to about 80%, because like most new LCD monitors, the brightness is much more than most people need or want.

As for the oft-repeated criticism of the "flimsy" stand, the stand is not stainless steel, but plastic, and might shake if your table shakes. I keep my monitor on a stable table protected from vibrations or gusts of wind or whatever it is that annoys the other critics. I really do not notice any problem with shaking or stability.

I happen to really like the unobtrusive black frame and black stand, and the nice touch of placing the buttons underneath the screen, away from sight. Tech geeks complain of such things without grasping that it is a design issue, and the monitor looks much better this way. If only all manufacturers would catch on to the "Black is Beautiful" concept in electronics, because computer gizmo's are not necessarily meant to be seen. I prefer them in the background, among the shadows.

Bottom Line: The price/value of this monitor is quite good, especially given the superior reliability and quality associated with the "Viewsonic" brand.

Nice monitor overall, this is the second LCD that I've owned.
PRO
- Clear crisp screen
- Bright (First thing I did was turn down the brightness)

CON
- Menu tough to navigate at first
- Need a height adjustment for the stand
- Power button should be physically placed seperately from menu function buttons
