ViewSonic G90f
G90f 19-inch monitor with .25mm dot pitch Review, by Richard Baguley October 30, 2001
WHAT'S HOT: A useful setup chart covers all of the major points you need to know to install and use the G90f. The monitor is built around a Hitachi Perfect Flat tube, which provides a pleasingly flat image that is easy on the eye.
WHAT'S NOT: Although the flat screen may make using the monitor over long sessions better, the G90f's image quality was nothing outstanding. Both its text and graphics looked good (we saw sharp text and vivid colors in our test screens), but its images didn't look as sharp and true to life as did the images on some other similarly priced monitors on our chart.
WHAT ELSE: Although the G90f has a good selection of high-end features (such as the ViewMatch function for matching on-screen colors with printed ones), the controls can be a little confusing. There are four buttons--two menu buttons and two for moving up and down through the menus--and which one to use isn't always obvious. There is no auto-degauss feature, although you can degauss the tube through the on-screen menu. An optional USB hub base is available for an additional $45.
UPSHOT: Although the performance of the G90f wasn't particularly bad, there are several other higher-rated monitors on the chart with lower prices.

Strengths: CRT so better for graphics than an LCD, BETTER than G90F2.
Weaknesses: none
Overall: I've had this monitor for about 2.5 years now and it is used ALL of the time. I use it for gaming primarily and for some graphics work occasionally. SInce this a CRT, it is much better suited for video games than LCDs because LCDs have refresh issues in games. The CRT is not the biggest but 19 in is great, especially for the price (~$300). When I bought one 2.5 years ago it cost me about $350 so its value has maintained. You simply can't lose with this monitor, especially since it comes from ViewSonic.
Sorry, the product you requested isn't currently available from any of our sellers.
