"Never happy, now worse"
Pros: bright display, no flicker, good color
Cons: would not calibrate properly, ever. after 1yr it's trashed and in for repair
Summary: The best tell of how bad this thing is to describe my Sony Trinitron (Dell packaged) that's sitting right next to it. The Sony is about 5 yrs old - the Viewsonic just turned 1. Trinitron is still perfect with no loss and no degredation. The P95F (+b) was DOA and I should have taken it back immediately. I lived with it because it wasn't "that bad" and I still had my trusty Sony to do the hard work. I used dual displays - am a graphic artist / webmaster. The vertical would never adjust correctly - always wavy. The "trinitron-like" wires running top and bottom (for sync, apparently) are more pronounced than on my actual Sony Trinitron. Now I have been fighting the guass monster for a few weeks and it has finally given up. No, there are no speakers even remotely close to it. I just have this dark crescent tinge across the upper 1/3 of the display that will not go away. I know this is an old model, but steer clear. My only other recommendation could be for the Sony Trinitron since it has been working great for me for so many years (Dell 19" something-tron).
