Nice Picture, Terrible Life.......2007-06-06

I have one of these at work. It was new out of the box probably two months ago and already has images starting to burn in. That is just pathetic. The speakers are "OK" for integrated monitor speakers. The picture quality is very nice at it's native resolution... but I wouldn't recommend this monitor to anyone. Ever. Burn in after just a few months is totally unacceptable.

WARNING: IMAGE BURNS.......2007-02-08

I bought this monitor and about six months later images began to burn-in across the top of the screen. I'm not talking about images that burn in after you leave a program open for eight hours without a screensaver. No, this monitor gets image burns after using a program - ANY PROGRAM - for only a few minutes. They do go away...if you turn your monitor off and unplug it from the power source FOR ABOUT A WEEK! And then the burn-in images come back after about FIVE MINUTES of surfing the web! By the way, ViewSonic's "Limited Warranty" apparently does not cover image burns, so don't waste your time calling customer service. When it comes to computer monitors, better stick with tried-and-true brands: Sony, HP, etc.

Short Lifespan.......2006-12-01

I purchased 2 Viewsonic LCD monitors and both lasted about a year and a half before the left side of the screens went dark. No diagnostic queries or interactions could bring them back to normal. I contacted customer support and was told that Viewsonic would do nothing. Maybe I was stupid or naive in not getting a warranty beyond the first year, but I assumed that a good product, made with good parts, from a company that desires to satisfy its customers with a good QA/QC program to ensure that quality products are being produced, could make a product (or 2) that would last longer than a year and a half. Faulty assumption. With 2 LCD monitors having the same problem, lasting about the same length of time, and on 2 different computer systems, this strongly indicates to me a non-coincidental problem within Viewsonic. I will not buy anything from Viewsonic again. I will spend a little more, if I have to, to buy a reliable product from a reliable company.

Poor quality and poor manufacturer support.......2006-05-25

When I first got this monitor I was thrilled. It's sleek looking and the 2 inputs were nice, since I could use it for 2 machines. I started to notice there's a lot of light bleeding in on the edges... a lot more than I notice on my LG or my Dell Notebook screen. Then I was faced with a permanent green stripe down the left side. After much trouble, I finally got a replacement sent from Viewsonic.

The replacement is almost as bad. I've got all sorts of image "burning" (where it looks like my last screen is embossed onto the background). I'm now going to have to go through the whole hassle of trying to get this replaced again, as it makes the picture quality terrible.

so far, 2/2 have been terrible, and the manufacturer support hasn't been very good, they forgot to send my last replacement for a couple weeks (said it'd bee 3-5 business days).

Don't buy this model, and carefully consider the entire manufacturers line...

Well worth the price!.......2006-05-11

ViewSonic has not let me down yet! Their monitors last forever and they're top quality - hence the price. You will not get a better value for your dollar. I am a graphic designer who has to stare at pictures and text all day long and this monitor is really easy on my eyes. It has good contrast, brightness, and color controls, and text is crisp and clear. It comes with two cables - regular VGA and digital DVI. I'm sure with the DVI it is an even better picture, but my video card is analog and even the VGA is great quality.

I listen to internet radio at work on the built-in speakers - and I can hear the music clearly across the 20' long room. It's decent quality, just don't expect it to sound quite like a live concert.

The thing I love most is this monitor causes less eye strain than CRTs (you blink less when you use a CRT), and its footprint is so small I can set it 24 to 36" away from my face - the recommended distance for minimizing eye strain. The huge CRT it replaces had to sit about 16" from my face and that gave me awful headaches. I am happy to say no more headaches since my boss got this amazing monitor for me!

Mom of 3 hard to keep track of kids.......2001-11-10

I purchased these 2-way radios because of the reasonable price and numerous features. I tested them by giving one to my seven year old at a party 1.7 miles from our house. It was easy to find a clear frequency with all the subchannels. The VOX feature made them easy for her to use. (Sometimes younger children have trouble remembering to hold or let go of the talk button.) I was able to lock in the channel we were on, so it could not accidentally be changed. I also really like that the radios are water resistant because I will not have to worry about them getting wet if it should start to rain. This is a great set of radios.

Excellent Plasma for under $3000.00.......2005-10-18

This viewsonic T.V. is great as long as you know how to hook it up. Unlike regular T.V.'s if you hook up to this T.V. using the Coax Cable the picture will be awful. Now if you hook up using the S-Video, Componet, or Composite Video the picture will be perfect. That's why Plasma's are considered monitors instead of T.V.'s What the cable and satilite companies don't tell you is that you 50% of signal strength when you use the coax cable hook-up, or what others call the RF adapter. Regular T.V.'s can make up for this signal loss plasma's can't. So for all you out there do some research before you buy a Plasma.

A terrible, terrible TV.......2004-12-03

Even at the low price, this TV managed to disappoint in all categories. The remote is a giant brick with all the important buttons hidden under a slider. The image quality was fuzzy and poor. The screen would glitch every once in a while for no apparent reason. Any white or bright area on the TV (even with the brightness turned down low) would cause a terrible BUZZING sound from inside the unit. Weighing in at 90 pounds, it was difficult to even rotate it a little by yourself.

Let me put it this way -- I had the TV for about 2 months before someone broke into my office and stole it. I was actually happy to see it go.

Im not happy.......2004-09-20

Im sure the other guys were impressed with this unit .Im not.If you can manage to get the picture bright enough be prepared to hear a nice loud humming sound!!Ive used it with all connections tried.Even with the 17 pin connect to my comp it was dissapointing and the sound from any white background is disgraceful!Forget about burn in as well.Its going to happen..Youd better spend the extra money and not cheap out as I did..I kept Myself to spending under 10 thousand bucks to redo my room ,this is just for electronics.I use it for my bedroom cause of lack o space.My SONY bigscreen is best pic Ive seen so far.Ill save my cash and get a sony plasma next..Oh and the heat is insane,No one mantioned this so I doubt if they truly even bought one.I wish I wasnt first to get this TV no reviews were out back then...

Pretty Darn Good For Under 3K!.......2004-02-03

O.K.----I think our man Steve from CA. might have been better served if he had read the owner's manual first, and then had professional installation. THIS IS NOT A HDTV! It will take the signal, but will have to "dumb it down" to display. But that display is absolutely gorgeous: sharp colors, wide viewing angle and NO artifacts.
As for using the display as a computer monitor, I would be hard pressed to recommend it any higher. As with all viewsonic monitors I have owned in the past, apps from word processing to the newest games are just perfect. I connected my cable to a media center computer I built, and now use a nifty program called Snapstream that puts the old TIVO to shame! Now my wife can tape her soaps, easily burn her favorites to DVD, check her E-Mail, surf the web, video chat with her mom, play Tetris (O.K.---she's a little behind the times in her gaming!), find that song she has been looking for, etc----all from the comfort of our bed. She's now happy as a clam, which any guy will tell you pays the ol' hubby dividends far greater than the sub 3K cost of the unit. And I must admit, I can't wait for Halflife II on a big monitor with the display settings jacked to the max!
Two caveats: Again, no HDTV. Perhaps more importantly, if you are going to set this unit up yourself, you ought be an enthusiast. Trying the many input choices enabled me to decide on the best option for myself, which proved to be the DVI for the computer, and the S-Video for all TV functionality except for DVD playback, which benefits with progressive scan connections (you know, that red blue yellow thingy). If you rely on the manual alone, you are apt to be left confused, as it is far too brief and poorly written.
If you feel, as I do, that the PC is the future engine to drive home entertainment, this unit is an excellent partner!

whatever.......2003-11-25

misarable? ha. a fuzzy plasma t.v.??????? Maybe you should have got grandma to help. that way you wouldn't have dropped it. maybe that's why it's fuzzy
