Comment: Extremely high quality screen Rating:
I didn't realize how blurry my CRT monitor was until I got this monitor. The picture quality is outstanding. You do have to get used to some "ghosting" when scrolling high contrast visuals (ie. black font on white background). You can eliminate a pretty good portion of the ghosting for text by using clear text under display properties->appearance->effects in Windows XP. I would not recommend this lcd panel for anyone who is into gaming with high FPS requirements. The 25ms response time is faster than most models out there, however, it's still not fast enough for gaming. I currently use this monitor as a second monitor to extend my desktop. If you don't play games on your PC, then this flat panel is for you. It saves a lot of desk space. The native resolution for this monitor is 1280x1024. Any other resolutions will use interpolation and will appear blurry (this is common to all LCD monitors).

Some of the bad things about this monitor :

1) inability to tilt the monitor in any direction
2) Speakers that are very weak they should have just been left out of the monitor.

The outstanding display definitely outshines both negatives about this monitor. I highly recommend it for any serious application-oriented PC user. It will save you money in eye glass prescriptions in the future. ;)

Comment: Great monitor, great price Rating:
I've had my monitor for about 5 months and am very impressed. It has excellent color reproduction and contrast (comparable to my 21" Sony Trinitron). For the size, price and features like DVI input it can't be beat. My only complaints are the lack of Viewsonic offering a screen protector like they do with the 17" model and no pivot (turning the screen to vertical for full page views).

That said this unit has an excellent warranty, even for the backlight and my unit had no dead pixels which is always a concern with LCD monitors. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone looking to save deskspace and is on a budget.

Comment: Programmer/Gamer's perspective Rating:
I would give it 6 stars if I could...I mainly use my computer for gaming (warcraft) and for programming. Warcraft is a graphically intense game and the monitor blew away what I had before. The game rendered beautifully. As for reading and looking at documents, the text comes through very crisp. I would have gotten the vx2000. But for that one extra inch, it would have been an additional $300.00. Ouch...if you got money to burn go with the 20 but you will be happy with the 19 as well. I am.
