When you purchase a monitor, you want it to be your baby. Unlike almost any other piece of computer hardware, your monitor can last years and outlive any other piece of equipment. After 3 years, I can say this monitor monitor meets my expectations for high quality and was a good buy.

The color has remained vivid and the pixels are still bright even though the monitor has been on almost 9 hours a day for three years on full contrast. I have had no problems with the functionality and I love the button interface for adjustment.

My principle complaint with this monitor is its lack of a good refresh rate at 1280x1024 resolution. Also, it emitted a strange high-pitched noise for almost 6 months that mysteriously stopped, but this is common in many monitors.

I bought this monitor about 2 1/2 years ago and I still love it. My only complaint is the lack of a good refresh rate @ 1280X1024.

I have used a 19 and a 17" Sony Trinitron at work and I have to say I prefer this monitor over both.

Have had this monitor for 2 years with no problems. Good text and graphics. Heavy usage, no complaints.

I've had this monitor for over five years of heavy use. Still looks fantastic. Crisp, clear, and not going dark. It's a tank. I'd recommend it.

I WISH my monitor lasted three years!!! I am obviously a glutton for punishment, but I've purchased TWO of these monitors. Neither lasted more than a year before doing dim and dark. No matter how many times I hit the + sign to increase the brightness (out of desperation and dispair), the monitors each slowly got darker and darker until they quietly passed away. I agree 100%. View Sonic, at least this particular model, is [substandard].
