4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely high quality screen, April 15, 2004

This review is from: ViewSonic Vx900-2 19" LCD Monitor (Silver/Black) (Electronics)

I didn't realize how blurry my CRT monitor was until I got this monitor. The picture quality is outstanding. You do have to get used to some "ghosting" when scrolling high contrast visuals (ie. black font on white background). You can eliminate a pretty good portion of the ghosting for text by using clear text under display properties->appearance->effects in Windows XP. I would not recommend this lcd panel for anyone who is into gaming with high FPS requirements. The 25ms response time is faster than most models out there, however, it's still not fast enough for gaming. I currently use this monitor as a second monitor to extend my desktop. If you don't play games on your PC, then this flat panel is for you. It saves a lot of desk space. The native resolution for this monitor is 1280x1024. Any other resolutions will use interpolation and will appear blurry (this is common to all LCD monitors).

Some of the bad things about this monitor :

1) inability to tilt the monitor in any direction
2) Speakers that are very weak they should have just been left out of the monitor.

The outstanding display definitely outshines both negatives about this monitor. I highly recommend it for any serious application-oriented PC user. It will save you money in eye glass prescriptions in the future. ;)

4.0 out of 5 stars Viewsonic VX900-2: A Gamers Perspective, January 19, 2004

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: ViewSonic Vx900-2 19" LCD Monitor (Silver/Black) (Electronics)

I'd like to start off by saying how vivid and crisp this monitor is for low motion uses like desktops, web pages, spreadsheets, word processing, etc. Good whites, good blacks, bright and clean, with a nice appearance. No dead pixels, good backlighting.

Unfortunately-
It would appear I have very sensitive eyes, and in high motion situations this monitor shows ghosts. Most people I've asked say its not noticeable, but it bothers me when I play FPS's and watch movies. If you're in the same boat, maybe a CRT (I'm switching back) or a different LCD would be better for you.

I would give it 6 stars if I could...I mainly use my computer for gaming (warcraft) and for programming. Warcraft is a graphically intense game and the monitor blew away what I had before. The game rendered beautifully. As for reading and looking at documents, the text comes through very crisp. I would have gotten the vx2000. But for that one extra inch, it would have been an additional $300.00. Ouch...if you got money to burn go with the 20 but you will be happy with the 19 as well. I am.
