1 out of 5 stars Read your warranty and ask Viewsonic before purchasing.......2007-12-20

If you plan on purchasing a view sonic monitor, be advised. Viewsonic does not warranty their product if you clean it with any non approved cleaning substances. Viewsonic, according to customer service representatives do not currently have any approved cleaning products, and do not recommend touching your screen. Touching your screen in anyway constitutes abuse and voids your warranty as customer damage. Viewsonic also does not recommend using ANY color calibration devices on your monitor, as it constitutes customer abuse and is not covered under warranty. I right this because I had a view sonic monitor, calibrated it, and cleaned the "recommended way" the anti glare coating stated pealing off. Even though the products website said it was approved by Viewsonic. Viewsonic said tough it is not our problem that you damaged you monitor, you voided your warranty by cleaning it. I share this as a warning. the monitor was good while it lasted the first month.

3 out of 5 stars not great.......2007-08-18

My monitor came without any cables of any kind: no power cable and no video cable. I called ViewSonic and spoke to someone who said it happens "a lot"; she took my e-mail address and said they'd send me replacement cables, but that should never have happened in the first place. (I own the necessary cables and was able to get the monitor working.)

Input is VGA only. That's really not very impressive. Most LCD monitors in this day and age allow for digital input.

I don't find that the brightness is uniform, either. There are bright areas and dark areas. No adjustable stand, and not much of a tilting or swiveling radius.

It's a 19-inch LCD monitor for a bargain price, and I enjoy the very large screen, but I can't call this an excellent product.

3 out of 5 stars Cheap, not up to Viewsonic standards........2007-02-26

This is a low end model. If you are buying your first LCD and arent a heavy graphics user, this may work for you. But moving up from a Viewsonic 17" model, I am very disappointed in the sharpness, brightness, and color rendering on this "VGA Only" display.

I should have bought the Viewsonic VA912B with DVI, its even listed for $30 less than this model. Ugh!

5 out of 5 stars goO.......2006-12-28

I dont know about any of the other reviews, but this monitor is very good. tack sharp colors, good blacks, no dead pixels, VERY GOOD

2 out of 5 stars decent but not that great.......2006-12-23

This is my first LCD monitor and I'm not that impressed (though going from a 17" to 19" is better, obviously). I bought it at Fry's Electronics for [...] (before [...] mail-in rebate) but it will be going back.

Forget about gaming with this monitor--if you need completely black/dark areas, the natural "built-in" dark grey glare will be VERY annoying. No amount of contrast, brightness, and/or gamma adjustment helps either. White bleeding along the top edge doesn't help either. I don't know if the 300 cd/m2 brightness is good but, I figure, the higher the better.

Also, there's no DVI plug so the picture quality isn't that great. I don't know if the .294mm dot pitch has to do with this, also.

I tried dorking with the multiple monitor thing in WinXP but the monitor wouldn't work at 2048x1024 resolution after switching from 2 displays to 1--and no 15-second auto-revert--bug.

No wattage usage in poor excuse for a manual (3 pages per each language--bloating the quickstart guide unnecessarily) or PDF version (which, oddly, lists power saving mode off wattage of <1W but just "Normal" for on--go figure). The Watts isn't even listed on the back of the monitor!

The PDF manual specs also fail to even mention the most basic of LCD specs: refresh rate, brightness thingy (cd/m2), and contrast ratio--lame. ViewSonic needs to learn how to be more thorough, obviously.

The viewing angle isn't that great--you have to pretty much be centered in the middle or else parts of the screen will get darker (particularly the top).

Looks like I'll be sticking with my CRT for now until LCDs get at least as good in terms of complete black pixels and odd resolution handling (multisync, I guess--though I know some LCDs have this so maybe those are better).

    Had issues with the speakers not working right away, and just after the limited warranty ran out after a year, it began to blink on and off, over & over & over. Customer service was useless. Repair would have been $150 so I just bought a better brand. Avoid any Princeton brand product.

          A treat for the eyes, the 19" ViewSonic VG900b offers high brightness and an exceptional 600:1 contrast ratio, producing vibrant colors, smooth images and crisp text.

For those who demand high performance, rich features combined with elegant design and great value, the VG900b is the preferred choice.

          5 out of 5 stars Great monitor...after some minor tweaking........2003-08-17

          I bought this monitor for a Gaming Rig and have not been dissapointed! It took some minor tweaking when I got it set up, the automatic stuff just didn't quite cut it. Mainly for black. I ended up having to turn down the brightness quite a bit so that black areas of the screen LOOKED black. Other that that I LOVE this monitor and do not regret spending the extra money on a large LCD.

          5 out of 5 stars Outstanding 19" LCD for the price..........2003-07-25

          I purchased this 19" puppy after convincing my dad that he needed my 1 year old 17" Hitachi LCD for his office. The Hitachi was an excellent monitor, but I just couldn't resist upgrading to a larger screen--especially with Sony's rebate offer (now expired...I think).

          First off, this screen looks beeeeauuuuutiful! I mean, wow, talk about clean, simple and sleek. I don't need all the crazy bells and whistles such as speakers, USB ports, etc, that this monitor lacks...c'mon who the hell relies on a monitor's speaker; likewise, if you need more USB ports, get a freakin 4-port hub for twenty bucks.

          One other factor to note is that this monitor is only analog signal, no DVI. If half of you reading this even know what that acronym stands for, let alone what the difference is, I'd be very impressed. Basically, it's a digital signal that should make images on the screen appear better. Guess what, I couldn't give a hoot about this; in fact, my video card on my 1 year old Dell doesn't even have DVI output. Unless you're a gamer that has no life, no girlfriend and sits reading amazon.com reviews all day long, then don't worry about having only analog.

          With that said, onto the actual image quality. Well, upon turning the screen on for the first time, I prayed to the Lord Almighty that no dead pixels should appear. And the Lord heard my prayer and proclaimed, "Thou shalt not have any dead pixels, not even ONE, lest Sony give you a hard time with their dead pixel policy". And the Lord gazed upon the screen and saw it to be good. Ah yes, Bible studies ver. 1.0 amazon.com style...

          ...anywhoo, this is the most brilliant screen I have ever seen. The contrast ratio is like 600:1...that means it's amazingly bright and vivid. Be prepared to actually lower the contrast and brightness--that's a good thing to have to do with a monitor folks. The onscreen menu options are clear, concise and virtually dummy-proof. For all you fretting about manually adjusting the screen size, rotation, alignment etc., fear not; this is an LCD and it automatically adjusts all the settings for you, like most other LCD's on the market. I have the image size set at 1280 x 1024 on my Windows XP computer and everything looks magnificent. Text is clear especially using the "clear type fonts" available only on XP for LCD screens.

          If you're in the market to toss your 60lb CRT out the window and upgrade in style to an LCD, this is the one. Don't worry about Sony's newer models they have out now with DVI capability. Chances are your video card doesn't even have the output so you'd be wasting your money. This is an EXTREMELY affordable 19" monitor. Now's the time folks...buy it.

          5 out of 5 stars A superb monitor.......2003-04-03

          Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Looked great at Fry's so splurged a little and bought it. Could not be happier. Elegant plain semi-flat black frame, looks pretty impressive just sitting on my desk. I'm not an expert but colors look great to me, type is clear and easy to read. Games are great with that 19". I do a lot of work at home, a lot of teleconferencing. Lots of space, I can watch netmeeting and at the same time read thru my emails. For me it was worth the extra money.
