    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Bright and vivid colors, great size, good resolution. excellent rotational / positional adjustment of the actual monitor.

    Weaknesses: none, i guess it could be bigger.. :)

    Overall Evaluation: Bought this monitor to play games on (playing top games with the best graphics equip on vista) and this screen is perfect. although its no 28" this thing deff. is worth the price. bright as can be, sharp images, fast response time (no blurry imaging when playing fast FPS games. This screen also swivels 360 degrees and has a great height adjustment! Viewsonic is almost the only brand i trust and they have never disappointed me.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: DVI/VGA support, Height and Rotation both changeable, Customizable Tilt, Vivid Colors

    Weaknesses: Has a little light bleeding through the bottom edge of the monitor, no usb, controls kinda hard to get used to.

    Overall Evaluation: So far, looks like this monitor will be a keeper. A nice 1680x1050 resolution on a 22 inch panel that can be turned and twisted in many directions (no sideways tilt, however, which I don't use anyhow). The only problems I saw with it were the stock colors were bright and changing them was a bit of a hassle with the buttons located in an interesting order, but after the learning curve it went and customized nicely. The blue LED on the front is not too bright, making it great for late night programming.
