Incorrect specs for the VX900

(1 out of 5) by Walter Stander on Mar 2, 2003 (Ramona, CA United States)
If you go to Viewsonic's web page and compare the specs that they give, you will note that according to Viewsonic, the VX900 has a 500:1 contrast ratio vice the Amazon advertized 600:1.

Poor resolution

(3 out of 5) by Neil Whitaker on Feb 25, 2003 (Seattle)
Like most other 19 inch LCD monitors, this one only supports 1280x1024 resolution. This really should be much higher. My Dell notebook has a 14 inch screen with an incredible 1600x1200. Text looks like text. Italics look like italics. We should expect more from monitor manufacturers.

Best Monitor Period!!!

(5 out of 5) by Michael A. Powell on Feb 23, 2003 (Eagle, WI)
I bought this monitor for the many features it has. The quality is quite evident in this monitor. Amazing digital picture. If you want a great monitor this is the one for you. I did months of research and this is the best deal for the money!!

Good value, and pretty solidly built - but no documentation.

(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Feb 20, 2003
Not the sharpest picture I've ever seen, but a decent one, and good value. The build quality seems pretty good too, with a solid frame, and no dead pixels. No problems installing in Win98, or RH Linux 7.3 (using Xconfigurator).

Biggest issue is that it came with absolutely NO documentation or instructions.

Am I dreaming or is this what I am seeing?

(5 out of 5) by jackthinkpad on Feb 14, 2003 (OC, CA United States)
The clarity of this LCD is amazing. This is as close to perfect as any LCD can get at this price. I ran at full resolution and never looked back. I've compared and tested this out against others at the local retail store; the testing wasn't that great because the PC was too slow but it was enough to sample. What made the difference was the 3 year warranty that Viewsonic provides, competitive pricing and most importantly the performance.

I traded my Viewsonic P95F 19inch flat monitor-the best 19in there is- for the clarity of this LCD without significant degradation in gaming performance. I connected to my Geforce 4 DVI slot. I notice it was not as fast as a CRT but the response time and framerate was more than acceptable for gaming(Serious Sam 2, Max Payne or Quake 3 Arena). This LCD is should be the threshold of LCDs to come. There's no turning back to CRT.

I'm not going to worry too much about this LCD because it's got a 3year warranty for an item this pricey. I like it because I an stay up longer at night with my work.I won't suffer as much eyestrain. Second, the machine doesn't eat up too much power;only 40 watt and the transistors in the LCD is suppose to last about 4 years. I didn't even bother to hook up the LCD speakers. This is a product you can go wrong. This item is INSANELY GREAT and it pleases me very much.
