5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome image, January 16, 2003

This review is from: ViewSonic P95F+B PerfectFlat 19" CRT Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)

Wow! The text is bright and sharp at least up to 1600*1200 @85Hz! I haven't really evaluated the higher ones because the text is too small, but it does 2048*1536!!. I can't complain about the brightness either, there's an ultrabrite mode that makes movies look awesome. Back when I bought my 17" monitor that did 1280*1024@60Hz, I thought I had the best. This monitor will outdo that by a long shot. It's size and power consumption are about what my 17" was.

Be warned that turning on ultrabrite can make the text appear blurry. I think that's what the negative amateur reviews knock. That mode is for games and movies...with text use the standard mode. Don't worry, it's still plenty bright. It's been rated among the best by the major reviews.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just set it up, October 11, 2002

This review is from: ViewSonic P95F+B PerfectFlat 19" CRT Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)

Delivered today. Took about 5 minutes to put it together, but the base doesn't seem to snap into place as it appears it should, the tabs on the base just set into the slots on the bottom of the monitor. Stable enough, though I might look into the possibility that I need a different base.

Great picture. I've seem a couple of reviews on other sites that knock the image....I don't get their complaints. I work with computers all day, and this is easily one of the best images out there for a comparable price.

Exactly what I paid for. Reasonable size....great image. I almost went overboard and bought a HUGE CRT.....am glad I came to my senses......now we can afford to put together another new system.

2.0 out of 5 stars What happened to truth in advertising?, April 12, 2003

This review is from: ViewSonic P95F+B PerfectFlat 19" CRT Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)

Reviews of this monitor are all over the map. Some rave about it, some are disapointed. I, unfortunately, am in the second camp. This is my third Viewsonic monitor and all before the P95f+b have been execellent monitors. This monitor, on the other hand, falls far short of its advertised capabilities. Sure, the monitor will scan at 1280x1024@100Hz but the smudgey text it produces at this rate is worthless to look at it. In fact, I have to back the refresh rate all the way down to 75Hz to get a decent picture without too many blurry spots, but there are some slightly blurry areas. At 75Hz its a decent monitor, but I *paid* for a monitor that could do 1600x1200@85Hz or more. And dont get me started about the quality of the 1600x1200 mode that is supposedly the optimum resolution mode for this monitor. What a joke!
