Strengths: Price plus rebate. I paid $189 and with rebate it will be just under $150.
Weakness: Text resolution at small point sizes, especially grey text. The text seems to "jump" side to side, or have light shadows around the edges, or you can see the jaggies when they aren't there on a CRT.
This might be a good monitor for a casual user who has good eyesight, but for a graphics situation, it's not great. The price makes it a good value for everyday use, but if you need reading glasses in everyday life, don't get this monitor. Also, Macintosh support on the CD is terrible. Who uses OS9 applications anymore. Classic started up, then crashed when trying to load the OS9 on the ViewSonic...
Strengths: Great picture quality, widescreen is great, viewsonic quality
Weakness: None so far
I just got this LCD to replace my older 17 inch LCD. At first power on, the computer detected the driver and I was blown away by the quality. I adjusted the reslution to 1440x990 and it was even better. I will update this as time goes on, but definitely worth the price.
Strengths: Sharp, crisp, pefect size
Weakness: Only drawback is that I didn't review the specs closely and was expecting an additional DVI input. My fault for not reading the specs....
The picture is tops - very bright and very crisp. The monitor is nice and wide. I love this thing. You can beat this monitor for the price.
Strengths: Superb resolution, quality construction, good price.
Weakness: none
This is my first widescreen monitor and it is a beauty. I would never ever own anything else. You can't beat the quality of a Viewsonic monitor. I work in at a call center for a large on line retailer and they have used Viewsonic products by the hundreds and swear by them. You can't go wrong with this company.
Strengths: 1440x900 pixels, super fast 5ms response, good 700:1 contrast. stable base, good color.
Weakness: No DVI. I experienced shimmering at 60Hz refresh rate. Gone at 75Hz. No volume control for speakers.
This is a great monitor at a great price. Optiquest is a good brand since its parent company is Viewsonic, and overall, I'm very happy with the screen's quality. Default gamma settings seem to be around 1.4-1.5, which is quite good since it gives good definition for both highlights and shadows without being too bright or dark. It's great to see that you don't have to fiddle around with the...
Strengths: Very clear and bright. Sleek design.
Weakness: None.
I decided to buy this LCD as a replacement for a 19" Sony CRT which was just taking up too much space on the desk. The small footprint is great and dramatically increase my workspace on my small desk. Installation was easy and completed without a problem. It is great for watching widescreen movies. The picture quality is very clear and crisp. It has been a few weeks and I have no complaints. I...
Strengths: Has everything I hoped for. Plus no cataract-causing harmful emissions.
Weakness: It will be obsolete in about ten years, but at these prices, why wait? ;-)
Seriously, my comments mirror the three who posted before me. I was a little confused by whether I was supposed to "install" the software before or after switching monitors ... I looked at the disk first, but didn't play all of it. There were Flash-application intros, and though I had Flash plug-ins running on my browsers, I wasn't sure when they queried about my having the latest update. I then...
Strengths: Awesome monitor, not one problem, was shipped on time, works great, beautiful resolution for the money, Awsome first buying experience.
Weakness: None at this time.
Great monitor for a great price. Viewsonic is every bit of the quality that I expected. Not a single dead pixel. Never owned a widescreen monitor before, but due to the quality of this monitor, I may never own a regular again.
Strengths: appearance name styling
Weakness: speakers
this unit was a pleasant surprise and definitely positive addition to my workstation. the size makes viewing multiple windows pages a breeze. the sound which is not fantastic is decent.the price was also a big positive. i would recommend this unit for most any application

Great Monitor! Averge Sound
Strengths: Clear resolution. Small footprint.
Weakness: Sound quality.
This is an excellent monitor. The resolution is clear and crisp and the colors are vivid. Love the wide screen and the small desktop footprint. The only downside that I've encountered so far is the sound quality of the speakers .. very tinny and even at high volume, it's not very loud. I don't us it for listening to music, etc. so no big deal. I would recommend this monitor to anyone!
