VIEWSONIC VP201: Excellent ... but not perfect.

With flat screen monitor prices dropping by the minute, my time has finally come to step up from my trusty Planar PX171M monitor to the Viewsonic VP201/s. If you're looking for a new monitor yourself, let me tell you what I found when inviting the Viewsonic VP201/s into my home.

Pros Amazing price and performance. Fun features that become useful everyday. Ease of setup...
Cons I couldn't find the black case version of this monitor for the same price.
Recommended it? Yes

When looking to replace an old 19" CRT monitor, I had specific needs, and a specific budget. After three months research I decided to try this monitor, and I couldn't be happier.

I work anywhere from 60 - 90 hours a week on my system. For the most part, I do 3d Modeling and Photoshop... Read full review »

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros adjustable height and rotation (horizontal), 16ms response time, rotates 90 degrees...
Cons price, unit a little heavy than expected.
Recommended it? Yes

This is my first LCD and I'm very happy with it. I have own it for 3 years now, and everything seems to be working great.

Out of the box the unit is a little heavy than expected, but tons lighter than my 17 CRT. 17" in LCD means 17" whereas 17" CRT varies, but surely less than 17".

Cons Toasted and self-destructed less than a year later.
Recommended it? No

Ive had my VP171B for just under a year now. I did not keep it on all the time, only when I used my computer. Its been a fantastic LCD monitor in almost all respects.
