Summary: This LCD ( like Viewsonic Tech Support ) stinks !!!!
Comment: This monitor, like Viewsonic Tech Support, stinks !!!!
1) We wanted to use the DVI cable instead of the DB-15.
Despite at least 12 calls to Viewsuckit Tech Support
and HP Pavillion Tech support, and nVidia Tech Support,
all I ever got was finger pointing at the other supplier.
Yes, I had the right cables, yes I down loaded all the
right drivers, yes I followed the (lame, low tech) advice
from all the tech support staffers...both e-mail and
voice calls.
2) After some 4-5 months, this Viewsuckit LCD monitor got all
crappy & grainy...like I was on 640x400 resolution. We
switched cables, checked the connectors, re-installed all
the relevant new drivers, and eventually saw the exact
same grainey look with a totally different computer &
different cable too. The monitor was crapped out. No, it
was never mistreated, or dropped -- it just came up grainey
after a boot up one day.
3) So then I go to the Viewsuckit Tech Support page and fill out
their on-line "form" seeking a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
Yes, I told them the details of the above tests showing the
LCD was now grainey.
4) A week and 3 days go by...absolutely no reply from Viewsuckit.
Their on-line Q&A is the most pathetic 'expert system' I have
ever seen (short of nothing at all). So now, as I pound out
this complaint, I am on hold with Viewsuckit Tech Support
for "approximately 60 to 90 minutes".
Bottom line: I will never buy another Viewsuckit, and neither
should you.

Summary: DOA
Comment: I purchased this monitor from a vendor on the East coast and it arrived DOA (Dead on arrival. After connecting it to my computer and starting the computer all I got was a white blank screen on the monitor. I called tech support and was told that they have had the same problem on a large number of the same model. I was told that I could return it to the vendor or send it to Viewsonic for repair. The Viewsonic repair vacility was only forty miles from my house so rather then returning it to the vendor all the way on the East coast from my West coast residence, I thought it would be much faster to just have it repaired and returned to me since the repair facility was so close. Ha! It took them a solid month to repair it and return it to me. I did get a picture then, but the sound doesn't work. I called tech support and was told that there were no speakers in my model, although all the descriptions I've seen of it indicate that there are speakers installed. I have external speakers I can use but I mention these things to alert others that buying a so-called bargain monitor like this one is a huge waste of money. Spend a few dollars more and buy a better monitor, preferably one other than a Viewsonic. Buyer, be doubly beware if you decid to buy this piece of junk.

Summary: Could not be better...
Comment: In a word, this monitor is OUTSTANDING ! Price and performance are all tops. Came with an installation CD. But it is actually "Plug-and-Play." That is, for me, much better. Bravo, Optiquest !

Summary: Huge Monitor, Tiny Price
Comment: It's hard to not be satisfied with a 22" LCD for $200. It nicely replaced the $400 17" monitor I bought from Alienware two years ago.
