Product Description

Turn your ideas into breathtaking reality with the 20" VP201b large-screen ThinEdge ultra-slim bezel LCD display. With astounding 176? ultra-wide viewing angles, UXGA 1.92 megapixel resolution, ClearMotiv broadcast-quality video technology and native HDTV high-scan 720p compatibility, the VP201b boosts professional productivity and heightens user enjoyment for video editors, financial traders, CAD/CAM engineers and power gamers. Ideal for multiple-panel configurations with height/pivot adjustments, digital/analog inputs and USB 2.0 high-speed connectivity, the VP201b is the infinitely versatile professional desktop display of choice.

Amazon.com Product Description

With a huge screen in a relatively small package, the 20-inch ViewSonic VP201B is only 2.8 inches thick and weighs less than 19 pounds. The TFT active-matrix LCD includes 1,600 x 1,200 resolution, 400:1 contrast ratio, 250 nits of brightness, and 16 ms video response, which all work together to provide exceptional clarity and outstanding text legibility.

ThinEdge design allows multi-display presentations.

The ViewSonic VP201B possesses an extremely well thought-out ergonomic design. With an ultra-thin 0.67-inch bezel, you see more of your screen and less of the casing, which is important if you're considering tiling or stacking multiple panels, or even for single-panel wall mounting. Digital and analog inputs further increase versatility and allow you to switch among graphics cards with ease, while the integrated 2.0 USB hub offers convenient ports for your peripherals.

The thin profile saves space.

The adjustable-height swiveling stand can be removed if you'd rather make use of an optional 100 mm wall mount. You can position the screen horizontally or vertically (landscape or portrait orientation) using the pivot feature, and thanks to wide 176-degree viewing angles, you can place the monitor almost anywhere on your desk or on the wall and still get a clear picture. Plus, the anti-glare coating deflects harsh room light. ViewSonic provides a three-year warranty covering parts, labor, and backlight.

What's in the Box
Display, stand, power cord, signal cable, driver/pivot CD-ROM installation guide, warranty information

Note: Multi-panel displays require either a single video card with multiple video outputs or multiple video cards, along with appropriate multi-panel mounts and stands. For more information, see http://www.viewsonic.com/multipanelsetup/

Viewsonic warranty is worthless.......2007-03-12

I had this monitor for 2 years. One day it went black, power light would indicate it's on but I'd get no display. I arranged to send it into Viewsonic. After waiting a month, they finally told me they had fixed it. They then accidentally sent my monitor back to the wrong customer. After a week of trying to get it back from UPS, they decided to send me another one.

A week later I got the "new" one. When I turned it on, the whole screen had an orange tint to it. With gamma correction it looked almost decent (Red @ .68, green @ .78. blue @ 1.0 gamma). It was then I noticed that images would burn into the screen in 1-2 minutes. If I left a web browser in a position for 2 minutes, moved it, I could still see the text.

I called them and told them the replacement was unacceptable. I sent it in for replacement again. 2 weeks later I got a second refurbished monitor. This one has pretty good color, but images still burn in if left for 10-15 minutes. This is poor quality compared to other LCDs I have.

I've been a loyal Viewsonic customer for 10 years and I've recommended them to many friends. I will never buy from them again.

Warranties apparently are a low priority at Viewsonic.......2006-09-01

I purchased a VP201b at the end of 2005 and was thrilled with the performance and overall look of the produt. During the first week of July 2006, my VP201b simply stopped working. The power lights worked and it indicated that there was a signal, however no picture could be obtained. I contacted Viewsonic support online and was not able to diagnose the problem, so I called Viewsonic's support number and spoke to a representative. The representative realized that the monitor needed repair and instructed me to mail it to a support group called Teleplan in Calexico California. I carefully packed up my monitor and shipped it off to Calexico as instructed with UPS tracking notifications and insured it during transit. Viewsonic support told me to expect 10-15 business days for the repair. Well after 6 weeks I began to contact Viewsonic to ask for a status on the repair. It took 3 calls to finally get a status of "call back next Wednesday and ask them if a monitor has been allocated for me". I was told this would get attention. I did call back on the "Wednesday" and was told that one would be allocated for me and to expect it the following week. Nothing came. Again, a week and a half has passed and no word. I called again and was told that they are out of inventory and I should call back in 2 days on Friday to find out if they could give me at least some hope of receiving either a working VP201b or a suitable replacement. I have been a Viewsonic customer for12 years, but I do have to say that Samsung is looking better and better. If you have an opportunity to get a store or other third party warranty for service, please do. You will save lots of time and headaches.

Regards,

Unhappy Viewsonic customer

Absolutely Phenomenal.......2005-12-02

This will probably be the shortest review I've ever done, 'cause I've always held that the most useful points in a review are the negatives, not the positives - and folks, there just aren't any here that I can find.

There are a couple of excellent reviews below that describe the minor manual tweaks needed to get this monitor to perform at optimum. Well maybe it's just my luck but aside from setting the resolution to 1600 X 1200 there was literally nothing I had to do with this monitor but sit back and be blown away.

There are absolutely no dead or stuck pixels; there is absolutely no video smear in scrolling or DVD playback or gaming; and the image quality... !!

I've seen some certifiable turkeys in the LCD monitors of friends, family and employers - those washed-out, acid-blurred atrocities that no ethical company should even think of releasing for sale. This is my very first flat-panel LCD after years of CRTs - my last being a 19" Gateway CRT that's still in perfect condition (but HUGE) - and I bought it sight-unseen on the strength of reviews and a careful comparison of specs, particularly contrast/brightness and refresh rate.

I'd never dreamed that I'd find an LCD monitor with all of the richness of contrast, sharpness and vibrancy of color you normally only find on CRTs - but the Viewsonic VP201b matches the performance of CRTs with ease, almost with a kind of cocky self-assuredness, as if to say "No problem..." 8^D

As a way of underscoring the value packed into this unit, Viewsonic has integrated a USB hub almost invisibly to the back of the housing - which great little extra neatly wipes away the necessity of shelling out more nickels and dimes for a cumbersome standalone box at my station. Incredible.

This is the kind of product that makes you want to treat the producing company's engineering and management staff to a round of cold, frothy brews. On the often bumpy road of computer technology advancement, Viewsonic has proved itself to be a benchmark of excellence with the VP monitor line. These aren't cheap, but I'd consider this monitor to be a bargain at twice the price.

Buy with confidence and expect to be amazed.

Top Notch Product at a Great Price.......2005-09-01

It is really hard to beat a monitor with these features at this price. You can find better clairity with other monitors, but will sacrifice pixel response time (so much so that you will see streaking with fast on screen motion), and be paying 200-600 more. I have dealt with other 20(3)"monitors costing 2-3 times the ammount of this one with much worse results (Ie HP's 2035, Apple Cinema Displays, various NEC's and Sony's). Comes with 3yr warranty (including back light) USB 2.0 Hub built in. Monitor turn, piviots and adjusts for height with ease allowing good for customization. DVI and D-Sub. The nice thin bezel gives it a streamlined look and if you want to get multiple monitors the seams will be smaller for a better appearance. It is also MAC compatible. Mine shipped with 2 dead/stuck pixels, which isn't really that bad (pixel problems are inherent with this technology, it's the way it is. VS won't replace until something like 6-8 dead) The old "if you can't find any dead pixels, you aren't looking hard enough." saying applies here. My only complaint is the buttons on the front panel are hard to see and use, but i'll get over it. If you are using a CRT and want to get off, or just want more desktop space, this is your exit, you won't be sorry.

BUENO MONITOR.......2005-08-31

Nada de Ghosting, Banding, etc

CONTRAS:
Despues de 1.5 años de uso se me dañó. Actualmente lo envié a garantía para que lo repararan. Por haberme dado problemas tan pronto es que no le doy las 5 estrellas. Del resto el monitor no me ha dado problemas de ningún tipo.

Amazon.com Product Description

Stay connected with your buddies while hiking on the trail, riding the ski lift, or exploring other locations within a 7-mile range with this pair of GMRS720 two-way radios. Also ideal as a neighborhood watch tool and workplace aid, each radio features 22 channels (15 GMRS and 7 FRS) and 38 CTCSS privacy codes, along with a voice-activated transmitter that enables hands-free communication when used with the optional HS 2467 headset microphone (sold separately). The impressive range of channels and privacy codes gives you several communication options, ensuring that you can almost always talk with friends or family via an exclusive, uninterrupted signal (radios must be set on the same channel and code to communicate).

It's easy to browse for channels thanks to the channel scan feature, which looks for active signals while you view the display, and the monitor function, which listens for weak signals on a given channel. And talking on the radio couldn't be simpler--just hit the PTT button when you're ready to transmit. It's important to note that the transmission range will vary depending on the channel and the surrounding terrain. Should the signal prove too weak for a given situation, however, you can extend it via the Power Boost button.

Each GMRS720 radio also receives seven NOAA National Weather Service channels along with emergency/weather alerts. When in emergency/weather alert mode, the system functions as it does in GMRS/FRS mode, but also monitors the selected channel for tornado, thunderstorm, tsunami, and other weather warnings. When using the weather function, users can't receive GMRS communications, however.

Additional features include a backlit LCD display with a battery strength meter, a keypad lock that keeps you from accidentally pressing buttons at the wrong time (such as when a radio is in your pocket), a headset jack, and your choice of five different call tones. And no worries about running out of power too quickly, as the radios run for around 18 hours each on four AA batteries--a duration aided by the power save mode. The entire bundle, which includes eight AA batteries to get you started and a pair of belt clips for efficient transport, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

What's in the Box
Two GMRS720 two-way radios, eight AA batteries, two belt clips, user's manual.

Note: Use of the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) frequencies requires a Federal Communication Commission license.

TESTED THE UNIDEN 7 MILE RADIO.......2004-04-05

PURCHASED ON CLEARENCE FROM TARGET=I AM TOTALLY HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE. THESE ARE CLEARER THAN MY MOTOROLA SP21s PROs. THE SCREEN IS THE BRIGHTEST I HAVE EVER SEEN=PERFECT PLUS LARGE AND EASY TO READ. SIMPLE TO OPERATE NEVER READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. WELL CONSTRUCTED AND PERFORMED VERY NICELY. RECOMMENDED HIGHLY. COULD USE A FEW MORE DIFFERENT RING TONES NOT THE SAME OLD ONES. HAS WEATHER ALERT=WONDERFUL. GOT 3 MILES IN THE BURBS WITH THESE. THATS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. AGAIN ONE OF THE CLEAREST AND CLEANEST SOUNDING RADIOS I EVER HAVE HAD. WELL BUILT AND CONSTRUCTED. I HAVE TESTED ALOT OF THESE FRS AND GMRS RADIOS. THESE ARE THE BEST I HAVE FOUND FOR THE BUCK. RECOMMENDED

Good Radio's for the price.......2003-11-18

I wanted to get something with better range than my basic FRS radios. I went ahead and got the FCC license for these online at the FCC site while I was waiting for them to arrive. If two or more of us were driving on a trip, I wanted something that was clear up to at least a mile. I tested them the other day and I walked about 1 mile down the road. The area between me and the other person was solid trees and they were on top of a mountain and I was down below. At about one mile, we could still talk fine, but the Boost button was needed. That was about the limit thru the trees. I would expect it to be much better in a more open environment. There are only two minor annoyances and the first is you have to wait about 1 second after you push the talk button before speaking. I think this model has the handfree option where you can just start talking, but I don't care for that. The second thing is they feel a little slick on the sides to me. They are not real heavy, but I felt like I had to squeeze a little harder to hang onto it. They do have another model that is the same thing, but has a rubbery outside case and I think it would be a better option. If I order another set, that is what I would get.

universal player? not!.......2007-05-08

Yamaha touts this as a universal player however it has a very hard time tracking dvd-rs, SACD and other formats. I hope yamaha has worked out the bugs on the newer dvd-s2700. by the way, my player is back at the repair shop for the 4th time in 3 months. let's hope Yamaha corrects this situation

Run away from this unit.......2007-04-01

I had the DVD-2300 unit which preceeded this unit and found the picture and sound quality excellent. Based on this experience I purchased the 2500 without a real review or test drive... Big mistake.

$39 DVD players track discs better... You do have time to make popcorn while the unit attempts to recognize a disc.

Picture quality good but not outstanding... Audio was excellent. Sync problems... How could Yamaha release a dog like this to the market.

Yamaha will never get my money again... Total junk.

Has Tracking Problem.......2006-12-30

I just bought Yamaha player for Xmas.
It has great sound quality.
However, it fails to track some (not all) CDs and makes loud noise as laser pick-up is trying to adjust itself.
As the other review indicates, this problem is worse at the beginning of discs and improves for later tracks.
Have to take it factory service.
Disappointed.

Audio not sync'd to Video.......2006-12-28

I've owned a DVD S2500 since July. Sometime within the last two months the audio and video on commercial DVDs have gone out of sync. This is most noticeble at the start of a disk, but seems to improve later. I don't think that this happened when the player was brand new. I use the HDMI output to a Denon receiver. Looks like I will have to return the player for factory service. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has experienced this problem.

Unreliable performance.......2006-06-02

I bought the unit less than a year ago [...]. Right from the beginning it had trouble recognizing different discs and would seize when switching between CD and DVD-A for example. The video and sonic performance of the unit are excellent when it is working.
Today I tried to open the disc tray and it wouldn't open. I disconnected the power cable to "reset" the player as per the manufacturers instructions but I am getting no response. I have a ten year old Sony DVP 7700 that has given me zero problems. The Yamaha is made in China and considering that it is their "flagship" player I expected better. Hopefully it is under warranty.
