4.0 out of 5 stars Very Happy With Mine, April 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Viewsonic G220FB 21" CRT Monitor (Electronics)

I looked at alot of 21" monitors before I settled on this one and I have to say that I am extremely pleased with it. I looked at both trinitron and diamondtron monitors and didn't like what I saw at all. I use trinitron monitors at school on a regular basis and have never gotten used to the lines running across the screen 1/3 from the top and bottom. Aside from the "grille lines" I found the colors were too vivid and true whites seemed to have a slight reddish brown hue to them. So I knew I wanted the best shadow mask monitor I could find. This is it. While the picture isn't truly flat, the screen is; if you sit too close you can see the curve of the picture but as long as you sit 12" from the screen you will see a crisp, flat image, and the colors are wonderful. The picture gets a 5 star rating, the monitor overall gets 4 stars because of 2 things; 1 the cord that connects to the computer is permanently connected to the back of the monitor. This is bad because if the cord breaks you need a new monitor. 2. This thing is HUGE!!! The footprint isn't any bigger than that of my old 21" but the height is, if you have a computer cart like me with a shelf over the top of the monitor you will need 30" plus to fit it in. In short, great monitor but now I need a new desk!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with this monitor!, July 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Viewsonic G220FB 21" CRT Monitor (Electronics)

I'm quite picky when it comes to buying elections (especially computer components). I did a lot of research and it kept leading back to this monitor. Perfectly flat screen, .25mm dot pitch across the entire screen, fast refresh rates at high resolutions, not to mention it's a shadow mask monitor so none of those pesky lines at the top and bottom of the screen that apperture grille monitors have. I upgraded from a generic 17" monitor I had been using for about 5 years so purchasing this monitor made a huge difference in games (very immersive). After seeing and using the monitor, I would easily recommend it to anyone. It's Sony-level performance without the Sony price. ...!
