User Reviews for ViewSonic VX724

  • Reviewed by: blaundre

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: great contrast. Very fast response time. inexpensive compared to other monitors of equivalent value.

    Weaknesses: monitor does not have a height adjustment.

    Overall Evaluation: Excellent monitor. I did not have any dead or stuck pixels. Have had good luck with Viewsonic in past. Comes with DVI and Analog video cables! (A great deal considering DVI cables can cost $20-40.)

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Great visual quality and refresh rate.

    Weaknesses: Tilt adjustment only.

    Overall Evaluation: I choose this LCD because I have a Geforce 6800 GT installed on my PC. This LCD accepts both DVI and analog input and comes with both DVI and analog cables. Some LCDs have DVI capability but the DVI cable is not included. I have found no dead pixels. I use this monitor for both gaming and media editing. Ghosting is almost eliminated due to the fast refresh rate. Its superior brightness, contrast ratio and color make media editing a very fun job. With black/silver color, the monitor looks pretty when it sits on the desk. I need to find a way to hide my old LCDs, they look ugly when stand side by side with my new VX724.
