Bottom Line
Vibrant colors in photos and on Web pages make the GS790 a good choice for graphics pros.
ViewSonic GS790
WHAT'S HOT: The 19-inch GS790 excelled at rendering graphics. Colors shone brightly, particularly in photos. With a very short depth of only 16.2 inches, it occupies much less desktop space than any other monitor its size. And at $285, the GS790 is a great value for those on a budget.
WHAT'S NOT: The GS790 stumbled slightly when displaying text. At smaller point sizes, text proved a tad more difficult to read than on the best-scoring monitors, causing the judges to dole out slightly lower marks.
WHAT ELSE: The comprehensive documentation for the ViewSonic GS790 covers all the basics and includes clear definitions of all on-screen controls--which is a good thing, because we didn't find adjusting the controls to be very intuitive.
UPSHOT: A short case design and impressive graphics quality make the GS790 well suited for high-level imaging work in tight spaces. And at just $285, the unit won't set you back too much.
