I read a couple of reviews in PC rags raving about this monitor, and I like ViewSonics generally. This monitor just sucks I'm afraid. from Cnet.com The VP930b is great when it works, but 3 out of the 4 monitors I had did not work. Worst of all is their customer service. from Amazon.com I had 2 of these hooked up to my professional workstation to do graphics with and 3 months ago one refused to power up after a restart. I sent it in through the RMA process and have now been waiting for a warranty replacement for 61 days. I can't get through to support on the phone and I've been emailing them for weeks to check the RMA status with no answer. from Amazon.com I was quite pleased with this monitor until the day it wouldn't turn on. Luckily I still had my old CRT which I'm now using. The Viewsonic lasted 14 months before dying. I mailed the unit, per direction of Viewsonic, to Walnut, CA. from Amazon.com Pros: Very adjustable stand, good colors. Cons: Buggy user interface, bad support and service. Other Thoughts: I bought this after reading the glowing review at Tom's Hardware. from Newegg.com Pros: The monitor is incredibly sharp with high contrast, near perfect color, and wide viewing angles. Cons: I have purchased 4-5 of these for various uses and have had to replace three of them within a year. Viewsonic's service is not quick unless you have paid $15 for their express exchange program. Other Thoughts: Still the best 19" monitor I know of but I am shopping my options. from Newegg.com What seems to impress everyone most is the depth and true color reproduction. Makes games a joy along with photo editing. I have purchased other viewsonic monitors in the past for computers that I have built for other people and have never seen a dead pixel. I don't have any complaints about the swivel base, I set it up the way I liked it and haven't touched it. from Newegg.com Pros: The picture on this monitor is Jaw Dropping I would not hesitate to recomend this monitor to anyone !!!! if the price would go down i would buy more ! the ergonomic adjustments are also incredible up down rotation 270 tilt top to bottom and EVEN rotate landscape to portrait. from Newegg.com Pros: Monitor has always provided a great picture. As a developer text quality is a big issue for me on a monitor and I've always been pleased with this monitor. Performs well for text or graphics which for my use is a required balance. from Newegg.com Pros: I purchased two of these for a dual display setup. There were no dead pixels on either display, and the colors were decent. Cons: Neither monitor will handle power saving modes correctly and require the the monitor power be cycled to come back on. After three months, one wouldn't turn on at all. from Newegg.com
