Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The ViewSonic GS790 Short Neck 19-inch monitor provides creative flexibility and innovative features that maximize office options. It features an 18-inch diagonal viewable screen with a small footprint to take up less of your valuable desk surface. Plus, horizontal or vertical viewing angles permit multiple users to see the screen without having to sit directly in front of the monitor. It's ideal for CAD/CAM designers and graphics professionals, or for any office that needs the advantages of a large screen on a limited desktop workspace.
The ViewSonic GS790 features a 0.22-millimeter superfine dot pitch and a maximum flicker-free resolution of 1,600 x 1,200 dpi at a refresh rate of 76 Hz, delivering sharp images. It spotlights practical up-front controls: power on/off, menu, down, up, enter, OnView contrast, brightness, H/V position, H/V size, pincushion, trapezoid, pin balance, parallelogram, tilt, degauss, top/bottom hook control, H/V moiré reduction, ViewMatch color, H/V focus adjustment, color temperature, video level, OSD function, and recall. The horizontal frequency rate is 30 to 95 kHz and the vertical frequency is 50 to 180 Hz.
The reduced footprint plus low power consumption, high-resolution capabilities, and image quality all help the ViewSonic GS790 Short Neck ensure that your important data and images are displayed to meet your expectations, utilizing SuperClear technology through ARAG optimized glass for crisp focus and vivid colors. It's also both PC ready and Macintosh compatible (with the purchase of a separate Mac adapter). On the desk, dimensions are approximately 18 by 18 by 17 inches, and it weighs a sturdy, substantial 44 pounds. The monitor parts, labor, and Invar shadow mask backlight are all supported by a three-year limited warranty. --Barbara Price

An exellent low cost 19 inch,
By A Customer
This review is from: Viewsonic Gs790 19" Short Neck Monitor (Pc/Mac) (Electronics)
Though lacking features such as a USB port or BNC connectors (which few people need) the overall quality of this monitor is very good. The display, where it counts the most is excellent, and Viewsonic can be counted on to sell a reliable product. Other good contenders in this price range are the Samsung Syncmaster 950P (a little cheaper and still very good) and the Hitachi SuperScan Elite 751 (best display in this price range but a little more expensive). If you need a really cheap 19" buy a KDS. They are a pretty reliable company (they build monitors for Dell and Compaq as an OEM).

2nd Defective GS790 Monitor,
By
This review is from: Viewsonic Gs790 19" Short Neck Monitor (Pc/Mac) (Electronics)
My first GS790 ViewSonic monitor started to exhibit electric discharge noises accompanied by screen distortion. This behavior started within 1 week from first use of the monitor. After exhibiting this behavior for just over 30 days (just long enough so that I couldn't return the monitor to Amazon.com) the monitor's display was permainently distorted to the extent that no text could me made out.I returned the monitor to ViewSonic (I had to pay the shipping and insurance, no reimbursment) and then was told the turn around time would be 15 business days from the date of receipt of the monitor. This translates into 5 weeks allowing 1 week ground shipment to and from ViewSonic. After waiting 4 weeks after shipping the monitor back, I called to get the status. I was told the monitor had not been serviced because a part needed to repair the monitor was on order. At that time I indicated that I'd been quoted a 15 business day turn around time which would obliviously not be met. Only then did ViewSonic send out a new monitor of the same model from its stock to me. After receiving the new monitor, it too started to exhibit the same behavior as the first one (sounds of electical discharge accompanied by screen distortion). It looks ready to break permanently again with a few days. After talking with a co-worker, I found out that a friend of his had the exact same problem with the ViewSonic GS790 monitor.

Great Image--some minor geometry problems,
By statprof3 "statprof3" (Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Viewsonic Gs790 19" Short Neck Monitor (Pc/Mac) (Electronics)
The clarity and brightness of the image are excellent. I run the GS790 at 85mhz/1280 resolution and its great for seeing lots of small text or web browsing. The short-neck tube does cause some minor drooping of the image at the top the screen, though. You'll get used to it after a week or so, but you may check out flat-screen or aperature grill monitors if you do intensive graphics work.
