Not perfect, but very good for the price.......2004-04-24

When I started looking for a new monitor my only requirement was that it should be capable of UXGA resolution (1600 x 1200) with a stable refresh rate. Unfortunately there aren't many monitors that fall into this category. It was either a $1200 lcd that wouldn't have accurate color reproduction and I would have to worry about scratching, dead pixels, etc... or this $300 monitor that would have great color and no worries about sturdiness. So I went ahead and bought it. I must admit I was a little disappointed at first. BUT I figured out that the distortion was caused by my graphics card, not the monitor. The RAMDAC in my card was pretty much maxed out at this resolution, so there were some small imperfections. I hooked it up to another card and those imperfections were gone. Still, the horizontal grill pitch of this monitor really ends up showing almost two pixels in each slit at UXGA, but the text is still very readable and it's great for graphics. So in reality it's more of an awesome SXGA monitor that's capable of displaying UXGA. For $300 I couldn't ask for more.

The best monitor I have ever had.......2003-11-13

I sit at a computer 10+ hours per day, and I never tire of reading text on this monitor. Moreover, the graphics are superb, and I work with programs such as Flash, Fireworks, and Photoshop. Plus, I play video games! I love this monitor - it performs as advertised - and if it blew up, I'd buy another. Whenever I work from a different CRT monitor, I am usually disappointed.

By the way, I paid $549.00 (nearly half of the current price). Some LCDs are not even this nice. If you can spend $700 on a high-quality LCD, go ahead; however, if you only are in the market for a CRT monitor, the P95f is one of the most satisfying monitors you can buy.

Vertical distortion ruins this monitor.......2003-10-06

This is the first and last Viewsonic monitor that I will purchase. This monitor was replacing a 19" Sony that worked fantastic (before being destroyed in my house fire). The Viewsonic P95f+ suffers from major and unadjustable vertical distortion making it worthless for any real graphic work. Even for general text the distortion is annoying. I've tried three graphics cards with the same result. I'm returning this one as defective to the place I purchased it and buying another Sony.

Great clarity, easy controls and of course big........2003-07-19

This is everything I expected. Viewsonic is awsome. I have a Sony Trinitron at work...abt the same size and this is better. Although I'll admit the Sony is a yr older. I love the quick button on the front for brightness. Great for switching btwn docs/surfing and games/movies. I don't use my tv anymore bcs this screen is bigger and you get the full effect of the dvds. The price is good too for this size monitor. I haven't sacrificed quality at all. I highly recomend it.

What happened to truth in advertising?.......2003-04-13

Reviews of this monitor are all over the map. Some rave about it, some are disapointed. I, unfortunately, am in the second camp. This is my third Viewsonic monitor and all before the P95f+b have been execellent monitors. This monitor, on the other hand, falls far short of its advertised capabilities. Sure, the monitor will scan at 1280x1024@100Hz but the smudgey text it produces at this rate is worthless to look at it. In fact, I have to back the refresh rate all the way down to 75Hz to get a decent picture without too many blurry spots, but there are some slightly blurry areas. At 75Hz its a decent monitor, but I *paid* for a monitor that could do 1600x1200@85Hz or more. And dont get me started about the quality of the 1600x1200 mode that is supposedly the optimum resolution mode for this monitor. What a joke!

Amazon.com Product Description

Stay connected with your buddies while on the trail, at the river, or anywhere else within a 10-mile range with this pair of GMR1058-2CK two-way radios. Also ideal as neighborhood watch tools and kid-sitting aids, each water-resistant radio features 22 channels (15 GMRS, 7 FRS) and 38 privacy codes, along with a voice-operated transmitter that enables hands-free communication when used with an optional HS 2467 headset and microphone. The large number of channels and privacy codes give users several communication options, ensuring that they can almost always talk with friends or family via an exclusive, uninterrupted signal. The channels are easy to find thanks to the channel scan feature, which browses for active channels while you watch, and the channel monitor function, which listens for weak signals on a given channel. To transmit on a GMRS or FRS channel, a user merely presses the PTT or power-boost button while the scan is paused. The power-boost button expands the radio's range by emitting maximum power when a GMRS channel is detected.

Additional features include a backlit LCD display, keypad lock, and a choice of five different call tones. The selectable tones are ideal for groups with several radios, as it lets users differentiate between calls. The radios also include a pair of belt clips for efficient transport, along with two charging cradles and accompanying NiMH battery packs. Each radio also comes with a battery-level meter on its display to indicate the power level.

Not even for free!.......2005-01-13

We have one of these at work. Well...two actually. I refuse to put the second one into service.

We were offered one of these for free if we purchased a WorkCenter 35 Pro (another hunk of junk but don't get me started). Even for free, the Phaser 6100 is awful.

It's terribly slow, the memory is not upgradeable, the footprint is far too big (that's because you need to be able to access it from three sides, which, WTF?), it has three separate consumables not counting the four toner cartridges and the quality is about as good as one of those $99 inkjet units from WalMart.

After we got the first one, I swore never again but the boss had already purchased another WorkCenter 35. We've used the second Phaser just once. That was to print out the config page because Xerox would not give us our rebate (that's how they do a "free" printer) without one. We had to unpack it, put the whole thing together, print out the page, tear it back down and pack it back up. After that, it got thrown into storage. Oh, what I wouldn't give for a catapult.

The only reason I gave it one star is because "0 stars" isn't available. Avoid this one at all costs.

Everything I expected!.......2004-09-18

I have had Tektronics (now Xerox) printers before and got this for my home office based on the good experiences I had with their higher-end models. I couldn't believe the price, so I was skeptical about it. So far so good. Great print quality, reasonably quiet during start-up and printing and speedy enough for my needs. Very simple network configuration and setup.

I have no way to confirm this, but it appears to be identical to the Samsung color laser at about the same price. Feature set is identical and so is physical appearance except for branding. Comes with full toners (not starters), which is different than the Samsung. Lots of replacement parts as printing levels get high, but this is pretty standard on color lasers.

Would buy it again without hesitation.

ViewSonic's NextVision N2700w ultra-thin 27" LCD TV display brings wide-screen, high-definition picture quality to home entertainment and computing. OptiSync technology supports digital (DVI) with HDCP compatibility and analog (VGA) signals, component, composite and TV inputs, and turns your LCD TV into a versatile multimedia center. With the picture-over-data window, you can watch a movie while surfing the Internet. Advanced NextVision technology and ultra-high brightness, contrast ratio and resolution bring video and data images to life on the N2700w. Accompanied by a high-fidelity 20-watt audio system, it's just what you need to complete your home entertainment experience.

Amazon.com Product Description

Bring the future of television into your home today with the 27-inch ViewSonic N2700W HD-ready LCD widescreen television. Only 8.9 inches thick, it can be easily wall mounted. It has a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, 170-degree viewing angle, 500:1 contrast ratio, 16:9 aspect ratio, motion-adaptive progressive scan, 3D comb filter, and 3:2 pulldown capabilities. With the Picture-Over-Data window feature, you can watch a movie while surfing the Internet. It also features two built-in speakers that deliver 20 watts of total stereo sound.

The super-fast 16 ms video response time brings gaming and movies to life with crisp, lifelike video. The 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth, theaterlike experience at home. The 3D digital comb filter renders superb gradation of grays, resulting in superior picture detail.

The integrated DVI-HDCP input gives you the best HDTV images regardless of your signal source. The N2700W also offers 1 component-video, 1 composite A/V, and 1 DVI input. It can be hooked up to your PC, and is compatible with VGA up to 1280 x 1024 noninterlaced (1280 x 720 preferred) from either a Windows PC or a Power Mac G3/G4 (adapter may be required).

Tech Talk
Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.

Great PC Monitor.......2007-09-14

I have been using the Viewsonic 2700W as a PC monitor for over 19 months and have been very happy with it. Just make sure that you have the latest driver for your video card and it will work fine with sharp screen images and text. One problem that you may encounter with the video driver is that some cards will automatically recognize the monitor and download their driver. However, that driver may have a max resolution of 1280x720 whereas many software programs are now requiring a min resolution of 1024x768 and won't work with the monitor's native resolution. So make sure your video drivers are capable of higher resolutions.

Also, the complaints about the noise from the power supply are justifiable. It is a design flaw in the FSP-180-1ADE11 but the noise is not noticable (at least with my unit) unless you demand a quiet environment to work in. My power supply became erratic and started overheating so I bought a compatible one from Shenentech that does not have a fan. Very quiet. Anyone want to buy a used power supply?

DO NOT BUY AT ANY PRICE----SAVE YOURSLEF.......2007-08-22

I purchased this model 3yrs ago for Xmas 2004 when it was the latest technoloy.
My 1st unit stopped working after 2 months and only after a significant amount of aggrivation with customer support it was replaced under warrantee by viewsonic BUT ONLY with a rebuilt unit and I had to ship mine back to them in California first (good thing I had the box). Now that it is almost 3yrs old it will not turn on at all and the high voltage board is burnt out & not worth fixing. A product like this should last well beyond 3yrs. I certainly feel cheated and victimized. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM AT ANY PRICE. If I could I would rate this one negative 100.
It also goes without saying that this model is now obsolete and there are much more advanced lcd hdtv out there w/ better resolution, better contrast and HDMI connectivity.

N2700W as a Computer Monitor.......2006-01-08

Best monitor I have owned. For people having trouble using this as a computer monitor, use a good video card, I am running a GeForse FX 5200 with 128 MB Ram. Set the computers resolution to the monitor's native resolution (1280 X 720). The software driver will set up the refresh rate a 60hz. Reset it to 72hz manually and everything will sharpen up to a crisp picture. You will have an unbelievable monitor. I am totally impressed. My power supply is not loud at all, it's hardly audible with the sound off.

No S-video, flaky with closed captions, locks up.......2004-12-21

First of all, let me say that the image quality on this monitor is terrific, at least with HDTV/component input. With analog input (cable TV or composite), the picture is grainy. The pixel response time is also not as fast as models that have come out more recently.

My main complaint is the lack of an S-video input. It is inexcusable for a TV that costs this much to not have an S-video in. It also only has 1 set of component in, whereas most HDTV's have at least 2. All of the other Viewsonic TV's in this series have S-video, why not this one?

My #2 complaint is the fan noise. This thing has an external power supply brick (the type used with laptops) which has a fan inside the brick that runs continuously when the TV is on, and sometimes when it is off! The speakers on the TV are so weak, that you can hear the fan over the TV sound almost all the time.

Before purchasing an HDTV, you also must realize that a monitor of this size will make a poor PC monitor, no matter what. Even HDTV resolutions are nowhere near the typical PC monitor resolutions, and trying to use a device that is primarily designed to be a TV as a monitor will produce poor results.

Last, the TV has issues displaying closed captions. When trying to display closed captions from a DVD, for example, the whole picture became scrambled. Plus, it sometimes "locked up" and wouldn't respond to the remote. At first I thought the problem was the remote, but it wasn't; the TV literally required a "reboot" in order to start responding again.

A clunker.......2004-12-19

Bought this TV on sale, but it has been one long headache. As another reviewer has reported, the TV has a very noisy power box which sounds like a loud whirring....I, also, called the company to complain, and they said they would send another box. A week later, they sent another of the same box. After calling the company, they had no advice. They realize that this is a design flaw, and have taken this TV off the market and discontinued it. So those who bought it, on sale, got stuck with something Viewsonic knew was a lemon. The noise is so loud at times, that you can hardly hear the TV. I will be returning the TV, but am very upset about Viewsonic's knowingly selling these off, discontinuing them, and leaving no recourse. I will be forced to buy a more expensive TV from a major manufacturer.
