Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
With so many monitors to choose from these days, you have to wonder what makes ViewSonic's VG175 17.4-inch LCD monitor tower above the rest. To start with, ViewSonic offers SuperClear MVA screen technology for crisper images and ultrafast 3x response speed for the sharpest moving images. The VG175 also provides ergonomic design with height, tilt, and swivel adjustments, offering creative flexibility for positioning it on your desk; and it's built with a small footprint to take up less of your valuable desk surface.
The vertical and horizontal viewing angles are a wide 160 degrees, so the VG175 permits multiple users to see the screen without having to sit directly in front of the monitor. It pivots to landscape and portrait modes for full-page viewing and includes software to switch between the two views.
Ideal for designers and graphics professionals and well suited for desktop publishing, the ViewSonic VG175 features a maximum flicker-free resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, 220 nits of brightness, and a high 400:1 contrast ratio. Dual RGB analog inputs provides valued potential for connecting two computers at the same time, while providing for switching between different units like Macintosh or PC and automatically detecting which system is in use.
The VG175 ensures that your important data and moving and still images are precisely displayed with crisp focus and vivid colors, shown through optimized glass. It's both PC and Macintosh ready and has a very slim profile and footprint, measuring just 9.4 inches and weighing less than 19 pounds. ViewSonic offers a three-year warranty on parts and labor, including the backlight, further supported by a one-year Express Exchange. --Barbara Price

Gamers...caveat emptor,

This review is from: ViewSonic VG175 17.4" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
This is an excellent monitor with super crisp text and outstanding graphics. If those are your uses, you'll be very happy with it. However, if you are a gamer...or have kids who play games...I was happier with my old 19" CRT. I think you would be too. Although game graphics are great, fast movement results in blurred images. I bought this monitor specifically because I had read reviews stating that this was not a problem with this monitor...but it is. Not an overwhelming problem, just a little disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars
extremely pleased,
By Pam Friedman (Ft. Lauderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ViewSonic VG175 17.4" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
Bought this monitor six months ago, when it was more money, and I still do not regret it. This ViewSonic is outstanding. I watch DVDs, my MPEG movies, and digital pics with exceptional clarity. My brother, the computer nerd, was so impressed, he too, bought the LCD flatscreen; actually said I made a good choice. For my needs (fyi: I use this for creating my own webpage, graphics, sending MPEG movies & digital pics...the creative side of my brain, and excel, but I am far from a computer wizard), I required a monitor w/a large screen, takes up very little space, beautiful resolution, and clear type (in some monitors the actual type is hard to read, not as bold as this monitor). This ViewSonic delivers. For me, a must-have.
