Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
ViewSonic's VP181 is an 18-inch multifunctional flat-panel monitor incorporating digital, analog, and composite video. The VP181 LCD monitor provides ergonomic design with height, tilt, and swivel adjustments and offers creative flexibility with a thin 4-inch profile consuming less of your valuable desk surface. Vertical and horizontal adjustments of 160 degrees pivot to landscape and portrait modes for full-page viewing; this also lets multiple users see the screen without having to sit directly in front of the monitor. Other features include on-demand audio and picture-in-picture capabilities. The composite-video input accepts a variety of applications including DVD, VCR, and video cameras with both RCA and S-Video connections.
The VP181 is ideal for designers and graphics professionals who want the benefits of a flat, large screen and for any office that demands flexibility and fine resolution from its monitors. It features a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 ( maximum flicker-free resolution of 1,600 x 1,200) combined with 235 units of brightness to deliver crisp images. A pair of 2-watt speakers built into the base delivers stereo sound for multimedia applications. The VP181 highlights practical features including wide viewing angles (in both landscape and portrait mode) with PerfectPortrait software, selectable text and image-smoothing filters, ViewMatch color controls, gamma adjustments for custom color response, and dual USB ports.
The ViewSonic VP181 (with 18.1 inches viewable) flat monitor ensures that your important data and images are precisely displayed by using SuperClear technology for crisp focus and vivid colors shown through antiglare glass. It's PC ready and Macintosh compatible (with the purchase of a separate adapter). Supported PC resolutions are VGA up to 1,600 x 1,200 noninterlaced. It supports Power Mac resolutions up to 1,600 x 1,200. On-the-desk dimensions are approximately 17 by 18 by 9 inches, and the monitor weighs a sturdy 20 pounds.
The monitor, including the LCD screen, is covered by a three-year limited warranty on parts and labor.
NOTE: If you plan to use the ViewSonic VPD181 with a DFP video card, you will need a DFP-to-DFP video cable. You can purchase this item directly from ViewSonic. For more information, contact the ViewSonic Parts department at 1-800-888-8583, extension 6046.

actual resolution is 1280x1024,
By A Customer
This review is from: ViewSonic VP181 Flat Panel 18" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
Almost bought this believing it was 1600x1200 but turns out this is marketing spin. The native pixel resolution is 1280x1024 - I happened to check the Viewsonic website thank goodness. It will map a 1600x1200 signal to 1280x1024 for you, but this is a lossy process. Hope this saves someone.

The pivot makes it worth every penny.,

This review is from: ViewSonic VP181 Flat Panel 18" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I've been using a VP181 for three months, now, and I never again want to use anything else. I have not used its fancy features yet. But I live on my computer doing email, spreadsheets, letters, and internet research. And for all of these activities I use the pivot capability (i.e., almost always vertically). Combined with the size of the high-resolution image, it seems to me that living in portrait mode rather than landscape mode is the way that life in the electronic zone was always meant to be. I can see so much more, now, in one rock-solid, clear vertical view that anything else feels like returning to the Dark Ages. And I still have most of the rest of my desk available for spreading out my piles of work right beside the screen.

A great LCD for graphic design!,
By "magicflute1" (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ViewSonic VP181 Flat Panel 18" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I've always been looking for a flat panel monitor that can handle the high level 3D graphic. And this monitor is actually the first one i found more than satisfactory. The analog picture input really makes this an outstanding monitor. Plus it's integrated with Dual USB hubs, which allows me to plug all my portable usb devices right next to my monitor.
