5.0 out of 5 stars So Clear & Bright!, April 26, 2005
This review is from: ViewSonic VA721 17" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I recieved this monitor for Christmas in 2004, and I am in love. Both with my husband for buying it and with the monitor itself! Ths colors are SO precise that you can take a photo and put it next the the monitor and it will match!

My only problem with it, is the fact that I can't clean the ball point pen off it (my 3 year old daughter drew a picture for me!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for the price, January 2, 2006

Joc V (Bay Area, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ViewSonic VA721 17" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
Got this for 199.99 at CompUSA. What a steal! Great graphics, fast refreshing time (8ms), a sub $200 monitor which is a huge space saver --> what more can you want? Also works great for video games. There's no DVI connection which is the only bad thing but other than that, this is a must have especially for the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Customer service is really really bad, February 23, 2006
This review is from: ViewSonic VA721 17" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I value ViewSonic brand so I bought one VA721 from Office Depot during Thanksgiving time last year. Unfortunately either the backlight or one of the RGB color was broken in about 1.5 months so that the screen looks very weird. I am an engineer and I understand this will happen sometimes. I called the customer service. I told them that I understand this and just want to get this fixed and I got Advanced Replacement permit to replace the broken one. The representative said I should receive the replacement in about 3 days. This is all good.

So I waited for about a week, but I did not receive the replacement. I called again. The representative said they are still trying to allocate one unit for me (I thought ViewSonic make LCD monitor, am I right?) and should be available in next several days. So I waited another week and but I did not receive it. I called third time and I was promised to have one tomorrow. OK, I can live with that. However, I did not have my unit in 3 days not even a confirmation email. So I called again. By now I was really upset so I requested to talk to the manager. The representative told me the manager's name is John, but the manager said his name is Mike (a fake one?! whatever). The manager did not have any patience to listen to me but promise me to ship one unit for me by next Monday. Ok, whatelse can I do other than taking their words?

Eventually I got my unit in about a month after I first called. Guess what I got? A LCD monitor made in May 2004 with scratch everywhere around the body of the monitor and even had greese on the power cord. My VA721 was made in August 2005 and it's almost brand new. So I called again and got another Advanced Replacement permit. Now it is about another month and I haven't heard anything from them and haven't got anything either. I am tired of calling them. I will see how long I will have my second replacement back and I will keep you guys posted.

I will never buy ViewSonic products again and I will tell my friend so too.
