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

If you plan on purchasing a viewsonic 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 in any manner for cleaning or color calibration. 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 write this because I had a view sonic monitor, calibrated it, and cleaned the "recommended way" and the anti glare coating started 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.

4 out of 5 stars GREAT RESOLUTION.......2007-09-05

I love the graphics capability. I Also like the Ergonomic stand. But the speakers leave a lot to be desired.

4 out of 5 stars A great monitor, but beware of resolution issues.......2007-06-21

Got this View Sonic as a Father's Day gift. The wide screen offers an entirely new experience.



However, beware that according to the manufacturer, the optimal screen resolution is 1440x900. My pc is about 8 years old and I can't achieve that high a resolution (without, I'm told, investing in a new graphics card).



The resolution I currently have the monitor set at is okay, but the text appears furry or fuzzy. Since mostly what I do is read/write, this is bothersome.

5 out of 5 stars A STANDARD FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW!!!.......2007-05-14

I've been using this for about a month now, and it works great! Using VGA mode, it was a lttle flakey if the video cable wasn't securely screwed in (on both ends), but ok after that. Using the DVI connection it works great!

4 out of 5 stars VeiwSonic LCD.......2007-10-04

This monitor is a great value. Works beautifully. The item does not come with an instruction book, so initial settings were a little difficult, but mostly a no brainer.

3 out of 5 stars Be aware of its quality.......2007-07-13

I bought four ViewSonic VA1912WB Widescreen LCD's not long ago, from CompUSA online, for my company. After two weeks, one of them went bad, the screen showing a kind of bright grey tone, as if it was in an e-coma. Called ViewSonic and was told it might be an inverter problem. Sent it back at my own expense, at ViewSonic's unfair insistance. Received it back today. Not sure how long it (together with the other three) will last. I have one 17-inch Dell LCD and two 19-inch Acer LCD's at home. The Dell is 4-5 years old and the Acers are about one year old. Never heard of two-week-premature demise before until this ViewSonic proved that how much more I need to learn out there.
In case ViewSonic has been watching customer posting like this, my serial number is QBN070270372, and I welcome your getting in touch with me if you wish, to update me on your quality control to back up your name image.

2 out of 5 stars not for regular work.......2007-05-14

i think this monitor is too bright and even adjusting controls doesnt improve it. I wouldn't recommend this one for reading text. But to see pictures it is not too bad.

5 out of 5 stars great monitors and great prices.......2007-05-13

I have purchased about 8 so far for our office, it works great for both Mac and Windows.

3 out of 5 stars Viewsonic VA1912wb.......2007-05-09

I'm happy with the overall performance of the Monitor. One small irritant is that the connections on the back are buried beneath an access panel that is difficult to remove.

My single experience with ViewSonic phone support was not good.
The technician was abrupt. As a result of that encounter, I will never buy another ViewSonic product.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic monitor........2007-11-08

If you are looking for a widescreen monitor, this one is it. The picture quality is amazingly clear, and if you own an Ipod, then the dock will be so much of a convenience. The base has many options, most useful of which is (besides the Ipod Dock)the USB connectors.

Unfortunately, the Ipod Dock does not fit on the Zune, which I had recently purchased. The sound from the speakers are good, and the base can be modified at the base of the monitor. However, if you have surround sound, don't bother using these speakers.

I've had quite a few stuck pixels, but they never last long, so it is not bothersome. If it does bother you, just push at it gently, and it should reset. I have owned this monitor for three+ months (from August), and have had no dead pixels, and no problems in general. If you are the kind of gamer who likes to attend LAN Parties, then this monitor may annoy you, with the amount of wires connecting everything in the back. However, I've solved this issue with the ziptie (aka cable ties). Now I never mind the cables.

1 out of 5 stars Go with the Dell Monitor.......2007-07-09

I tried to install the software for the monitor and got an error message that it cannot be installed automatically. I was given instructions to install it manually. The resolution is terrible. The manual says that the monitor setting have to be at 1440x900 to get the optimum resolution. Most of the computers in the market do not support this resolution. Viewsonic claims that you can plug your ipod and it will automatically sync with your computer. I plugged my Ipod and got an error message that my computer cannot recognize the device. I called Viewsonic customer service and they told me that I have to purchase a special video card that can support 1440x900 resolution. They also couldn't help me fix the sync problem with my ipod. I have 4 dell monitors that work perfectly and are user friendly. Go with the Dell monitors.

5 out of 5 stars Alot better than most are saying.......2007-06-13

Most of the reviews really go after the sound on this LCD. I just purchased it for my office, and honestly I'm very happy with it. The sound definitely is not the same as the separate box speakers, but with the thinness of LCD's (similar to laptops) they rarely are. The subwoofer addition is a nice touch, and does help remove some of the "flatness" from the sound. The sound is on par with just about any laptop's slim speakers, especially those which are placed on the screen portion which usually are very slim.

The USB ports are POWERED, which is great if you're charging equipment from here (ex. wireless mouse or PDA) without actually having to have your computer on.

I am using with a Dell XPS m1210 laptop, and the resolution is fantastic. Only 1 dead pixel on arrival, which is below average (4-10 dead pixels). Resolution is very good, and works flawlessly with Vista, although a couple of times I've gotten the message that the frequency at which my laptop's nvidia card is sending a signal is out of range (blame NVidia vista drivers, not the LCD).

IPod dock is great and a real clutter saver. I have my 80 Gig IPod with a slim leather cover, and to dock without removing cover I just didn't put in a plastic guide (the little plastic guides you usually get when you buy an Ipod, the screen comes with them as well in silver color to coordinate with the screen) and works great.

Finish is glossy black, which really catches the eye.

Finally, Amazon expected product to be arriving 6 days later (ground non-priority), but actually arrived 3 days earlier, which is always good news!!

All in all, if you're looking for a great low-priced monitor with ADEQUATE sound, this is the one. If you want to blast music or video sound, then buy separate speakers and you're good to go.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting Monitor + iPod Base.......2007-04-16

First off, let's establish what this is NOT -- it isn't a monitor with "integrated" iPod dock. The base (which has the dock) is essentially an add-on USB hub to the monitor. The cable connections and even the power supply are separate from the monitor. This is not totally bad (you can charge your iPod or USB device while the monitor and computer are turned off), but it can be confusing if you expect to get an integrated unit.

I had read other reviews about how poor the speakers were, but I didn't worry because I had cheap PC speakers that had to be at least 10 years old. Well, sub-woofer or no, the VX1945wm speakers are of the same audio quality. Maybe not that good. Without the subwoofer (it has a separate volume control, so you can turn it down) the quality is worse than the built-in speaker in my Mac!

If you have a Mac, DO NOT USE INCLUDED DRIVERS. First, the installer is for OS9; second, the installer froze my system; third, they are totally unnecessary (OS X can use the monitor out of the box just fine).

The USB connections (although upside down, as noted in another review) work fine and are handy (unless you have a device that assumes it will be put in right-side up). The base power supply provides power to the USB ports (three in front, one in back) and can be turned on and off separately from the monitor.

The iPod dock works as advertised with my 5th gen 80GB iPod. The VX1945wm also comes with other dock adaptors for the other iPod models.

The memory card sockets are on the side of the base and angled back slightly; this makes them hard to get to, and you may have to work by feel and trial & error. I was able to use my CF and SD cards with no problem.

Screen brightness and clarity is outstanding. I have a ViewSonic Professional Series P95f CRT monitor, which was considered upper tier not long ago; I have both attached to my Mac, so I can literally do a side by side comparison on a daily basis. The VX1945wm blows it away. The screen area is slightly shorter, but wider (16:9 rather than 4:3 ratio), so I run it at 1440x900 vs. 1280x1024 for the CRT. Viewing angle is not as good for the LCD, alas, so if you have something on your monitor you want to show someone they need to be right behind you for the best view.

Five stars for the monitor, minus two stars for the speakers, plus one star for the base.

5 out of 5 stars iPod Haven.......2007-03-13

I bought this moniter because it is the only one on the market with an iPod dock. I like it's appearance and it was simple to install. The flat screen has given me oodles more space on my desk. No problems with overheating, in my experience. There are more access ports than I could possibly use. The iPod runs independently of the moniter so no interference. Having read about the weak speakers, I kept my speakers and if anything now,I would say it is a booming success. Delighted with my purchase and the mail in rebate made it an especially good deal.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent monitor.......2007-03-09

    Excellent monitor, great picture and clarity for the price. Easy to install, just make sure that your graphics card is compatible with it to get the best value from the monitor.

    4 out of 5 stars Amazing picture quality..........2006-10-24

    I originally wanted to buy the VA1912wb, but found out that it was about to be discontinued. Needless to say, I bought this model instead, the VA1930wm and I'm glad I did. The built quality on this monitor is a solid 10+, the base of the monitor is very sturdy and just heavy enough where it will not move around when the monitor's being adjusted. The picture quality is crystal clear, the texts are razor sharp, the graphics are clearer than ever, thanks to the 700:1 contrast ratio and the lightning quick 5ms response time. For a little bit more money spent compared to the other model, I got:

    360 Degree Swivel
    3.2" Height Adjustment
    Faster response time at 5ms
    1.5W Speakers with built-in Amplifier (compared to 1W with no amp on VA1912wb)

    Most beneficial of all, it consumes less energy compared with my 17" CRT, runs much much cooler and is way much lighter, free up plenty of space for me to work around, its got no dead pixels, and my 7 year old computer and its old video card - after much tweaking and surprisingly supported the 1440X900 native resolution - although tech support couldn't help me solve the problem and insisted I use 1024X768 (I don't think so). Overall: It's BIGGER, BETTER and COSTS LESS...what could be better?

    Note: There are a few reviewers elsewhere that had mention compatibility issues with most older video cards. My desktop is 7 years old which I purchased back in '99 and was most certain that it wasn't going to support its native resolution of 1440X900, and guess what...it did not! But after a download update for the card, all is well at 1440X900!

    Pros:
    *Very solid built quality
    *No dead pixels
    *Picture quality
    *Speakers are better than most mfg (but currently disconnected)
    *360 degree Swivel option
    *3.2" Height Adjust capability
    *Excellent Contrast Ratio
    *Excellent Response Time
    *It's a ViewSonic, how else would you want to spend your money?

    Cons:
    *Monitor sat a bit high even at its lowest height setting (just my opinion).
    *DVI cable not included (but included w/ the VA1912wb model)
    *Volume control for speakers integrated with picture setting buttons on side - not user friendly.
    *Tech Support lacks knowledge (but quick on call).
