ViewSonic VP191b
19.0 LCD 1280x1024 VP191B 600:1 DVD-I Black TCO 99 (ViewSonic-VP191B) Review, by Seán Captain June 26, 2003
WHAT'S HOT: The VP191b (available in silver or black) is a good-looking panel with a thin bezel. It offers a full range of ergonomic adjustments, including swivel and height adjustment, as well as the ability to pivot from wide landscape to tall portrait mode (handy for reading through long documents or Web pages). Tweaking monitor settings is simple, thanks to a menu with easy-to-read icons and text, one-touch access to contrast adjustment, and two-click access to brightness settings. And with its wider-than-average horizontal viewing angle of 158 degrees (according to PC World's measurement method), the VP191b is well suited for conference room presentations.
WHAT'S NOT: Though we like the on-screen menu, the buttons that control it are a bit confusing because they're tiny, stamped with hard-to-read symbols, and easy to confuse with the nearly identical power button.
WHAT ELSE: Display quality is middling. Our judges noted good (thought not exceptional) images on most test screens. The manual (available on a CD-ROM) describes the monitor well, and includes a troubleshooting section and detailed information on how to reach ViewSonic's free, 24-hour daily technical support. Clips on the back of the stand hold the power and signal cables in place. The panel features ports for one digital and up to two analog inputs, which give you options for sharing the monitor among multiple PCs.
UPSHOT: The handsome VP191b provides solid image quality and several handy extra features.

Strengths: Great colors, very sharp image, great adjustability.
Weaknesses: None
Overall: This is my first lcd and I have to say that I'm impressed! The monitor is of high quality and certainly blows my old 19" crt away. The image is very sharp with good colors.

Strengths: 2D clarity and crispness, height is adjustable, large viewing angle, multiple inputs can be switched between easily.
Weaknesses: Response time.
Overall: I've got four of these at the office. All four are being used by engineers and we are all very happy with them. I highly recommend them for office use. Home use is a different matter however. Ghosting is slightly evident while watching movies and very evident while playing 3D games (like UT). BTW, refresh rates aren't an issue w/ LCD monitors.

Strengths: Beautiful text and graphics
Weaknesses: None
Overall: I purchased two of these monitors and use them side by side. The screen is easily raised or lowered to less than 1" from the desktop. Text and graphics image quality are as good as any 19" LDC monitor I have ever seen. No dead pixels on either monitor. Easily pivots to portrait mode. GREAT monitors!

Strengths: good text and colors. Thats about it..
Weaknesses: I warn you never to look at this monitor when there are no lights on you might go blind. This monitor is almost TOO bright
Overall: IF YOU ARE INTO ANYTHING 3D AND GAMING OR ANYTHING DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS MONITOR. I have used a KDS crt that is about 3 or 4 years old and when I switched and got this 19" lcd i was PISSED. Ghosting is terrible and it got all blurry. ALSO as PRICEGRABBER says that it has 85hz at max resolution is NOT true. AT 1280x1024 i could set it to 75hz which is NOT worth 700 bucks. I wanted to return this monitor but viewsonic says I cant return it becuase they dont have a return program. If you want good text and pictures get this monitor..anything else..STAY AWAY.
Sorry, the product you requested isn't currently available from any of our sellers.
