ViewSonic VP912b Review

by Laura Blackwell

- We retested ViewSonic'sVP912b because the company has replaced the antireflective screen included on the unit that PC World first tested with a new, antiglare screen. The first version remains the only recently tested 19-inch LCD to win Outstanding ratings in both text and graphics. The newer version, though still an excellent performer, fell short of its predecessor, earning a rating of Very Good in both text and graphics.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Great Picture Quality. Nearly Unnoticeable Ghost Trails. Space Saver. Looks Elegant with full black coated. 2 Dsub 1 Dvi for future HDTV capabilities.

Weaknesses: Other then little noticeable ghost image. This is a perfect Monitor for gaming and watch Videos.

Overall Evaluation: Great Monitor Overall. I am just being too picky on the Ghosting Issues. I think Most ppl wont notice that at all. Most of my friends cant notice it at least. Reasonable Price. 3 years of warranty. WHat else can u ask for. Definitely a 5 out of 5.

Strengths: Crisp colors, brightness, nice appearance

Weaknesses: None so far

Overall Evaluation: Upgraded from 19" CRT allows for cleaner desktop. I got this for $520 shipping included on a special promotion from securemart.com. Controls are fairly easy to use and blend into the surround so they are not distracting. Black color frames the screen nicely. Only problem I've had is going from 800x600 to 1280x1040 which 912b seems to want as the default. Although Windows XP let's me custom size the font to 150% to offset the smaller screen size which results from going to the higher resolution, I found that several AOL screens including the welcome screen and a couple of other application screens had windows that weren't resizable and were very hard to read at the smaller size. I've gone back to 800x600 for now but it's probably too expensive a display to use at that setting. Maybe I can work around it down the road, but anyway, seems like an overall nice display.
