Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Compatible with either Macintosh or PC systems, the ViewSonic VG151 is a good thing in an even better package. This versatile monitor is a featherweight 10 pounds, with a mere 2.5-inch screen depth for the ultimate in compact clarity. The active-matrix LCD screen has a maximum resolution of 1,024 x 768 and a refresh rate of 60 Hz that work together to maintain vivid colors and a flicker-free screen. An antiglare hard coat keeps images clear and visible even in sunny offices, while the digital and analog capabilities ensure that this monitor will keep up with all technological advances. The screen is a full 15 inches, and is designed with 120-degree horizontal and 100-degree vertical viewing angles for visuals. ViewSonic offers a three-year warranty that covers parts, labor, and backlight. For the first year, 48-hour exchange service is also included.

Product Description
The VG151 represents state-of-the-art performance. Taking only a fraction of the space used by a comparable-size CRT, the VG151 offers users a full 15" viewable screen. It's portable enough to move quickly and easily with its 2.3" profile, 10.6 pounds and wall-mount capability. For professionals who need the latest digital computer technology, the new OptiSync feature with digital and analog inputs is also included. What's more, its anti-static, anti-glare screen highlighting a 1024 x 768 true resolution is very easy on the eyes. With all these features, the ViewSonic VG151 is a great 15" flat-panel any way you look at it.

5.0 out of 5 stars great picture, great price., November 9, 2000

By A Customer

great picture and easy setup. i just plugged it in to my dvi out connection of my video card (ati radeon) and it looks great. also plugged in a second computer to the analog (vga) input and that looks good too. at first i was concerned if the 15" size would be big enough but it has nearly the same viewing area as my 17" crt monitor at work. the size of the footprint is small making it fit nicely on my home desk, and the weight is so little that it's easy to move if needed. the price was very reasonable for a quality flat panel and i didn't want to spend money for built in speakers or a swivel capability that i didn't need.

i'll never go back to crt again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Addition to My Computer System, October 11, 2001

By A Customer

Just love this monitor. Got it as a treat last Christmas, and have used it for many hours each day ever since. It is trouble free, and gives me nice contrast and accurate color. I do some graphic arts work and this monitor is adequate for my needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear window to the world., June 27, 2002

By	T. Ross (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great little LCD monitor! It's bright, extremely clear, and seems quite roomy. I've used it with my Macs and PCs without any trouble at all. Mine did ship with a "stuck green" pixel in one corner, but it's hardly noticeable. Initial setup was a little more involved than I expected, requiring connecting several cables beneath a plastic panel in the back of the monitor. This monitor has both DVI and regular DB15 connectors. If you don't plan to use the DVI connection, you might want to go with a cheaper model. I use both connections, which allows me to have a Mac and PC connected to the monitor at the same time. Note that connecting the monitor to the newer PowerMacs via DVI usually requires a fairly inexpensive ADC to DVI connector cable. The digital display is just fantastic!
