All I ever wanted in a monitor, and I have a desk again,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Viewsonic Vx700 17" LCD Monitor (Silver/Black) (Electronics)
After spending a great deal of time researching lcd flat panel monitors, I came to the conclusion that Viewsonic's VX700 had the most of what I wanted.Excellent contrast, great color, good brightness, fast response time, competitive bad pixel criteria, digital input, good warranty. I am very glad I chose this monitor. First, resolution. As with all 17in lcd's, the native resolution is 1280x1024. Displaying in that resolution is nothing short of fantastic. Pictures and edges are crisp and clear. I was surprised and pleased to see that even in non-native resoltution, such as 1024x768 and 1152x864 the pictures are still great, I only noticed the tiniest bit of fuzziness because I was looking for it. I do play single person shooters, mostly Unreal Tournament, and found that the response time the monitor claims (25ms) produces an acceptable seamless motion. There is a very slight after-image, but nothing that interupts or detracts from the game. I should note here that I am using an ATI 7500 video card, and using the digital out (DVI) to connect to the monitor. The card claims to be running at a 75Hz (V) refresh, but although I am sensitive to flicker, I see absolutely none. Color, contrast and brightness are fantastic. Though I have read many complaints regarding lcd's and color, you'll get no complaint here. I've seen more colors with this monitor than I did with my crt, blacks are black, white is pure white. As for brightness, if anything, the VX700 is a little too bright. Contrast, as Viewsonic claimed, is terrific. A couple other notes. Viewsonic offers a 3 year warranty on everything. The monitor comes with cables for analog video connection, and european power, as well as american. Viewsonic's maximum bad pixel acceptability is 7, which was better than the other two companies I asked (at 9 each). Btw, my monitor had ZERO bad pixels, and I counted twice. Lastly, I have my desk back, no more huge crt hogging all the space in front of me, Huzzah!

Superb,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Viewsonic Vx700 17" LCD Monitor (Silver/Black) (Electronics)
I design and develop software, so I sit in front of the computer for 8 hours a day. I was using a 17" CRT that was past its prime. Upgraded to this VX700 as I already had a Viewsonic CRT as my home monitor and knew they made nice monitors. I can't speak highly enough about this monitor. I have the brightness set at 1/2, and it's as bright as day - you would be able to see the image easily if you were outside, and it's only halfway up. The built in speakers are lousy, but the picture is bright and vibrant. Can't comment on the response time (for gamers) as that doesn't apply to me. Also, the people who complain that it's blurry - make sure you turn off XP's "cleartype" enhancement for flat panels which seems to make them all look lousy - any negative reviews you've seen are most likely from someone who didn't know to change that setting.

What a great monitor this is,
By A Customer
This review is from: Viewsonic Vx700 17" LCD Monitor (Silver/Black) (Electronics)
I bought this last month. What great color, brightness, and contrast, from all viewing angles. I'm using analog right now, haven't tried the digital input. I haven't found any dead pixels. The built-in speakers won't shake the floor but they're adequate for everyday use, including gaming. On top of everything else, the monitor's silver and black motif gives the joint a little class. It was expensive but I've had no regrets buying it whatsoever.
