This monitor is sharp. It mounts on the wall or sits on the desk. It has built in speakers (which I don't use--so I don't know how they sound). There is one dead pixel, the rest are very sharp.

Originally, the images on the screen were shadowed. This was a result of my video card (All-in-wonder 8500). I upgraded my video card (G4Ti4200). Now it looks stunning.

I chose this monitor because of it's 16ms refresh rate, which, from my research, is one of the fastest on the market for flat panel monitors. I play Battlefield 1942 with it and it look as good as my previous CRT (playing games was a concern I had regarding flat paneled monitors--this monitor works fast!)

If you have the right video card, this monitor is a winner. Crisp lettering on documents, fast refreshing for gaming. Viewsonic is a reputable name and I couldn't be more satisfied.

I purchased my first flat screen. Viewsonic had good reviews, so I purchased their brand. The monitor is crystal clear with no flaws. It is very bright, which can be adjusted. It is clearer than my old CRT, and larger viewing area because the 17" screen is full. Great purchase. No headaches.
