ViewSonic VA712B (LCD monitor - 17")

Pros: Good vibrant colors and pixilation

Cons: Very annoying Analog / Digital pop up messages

Summary: I have always loved viewsonic for its pixel clarity and performance and now have 3 of their monitors. The latest to the addition is the VA712b this is the most disappointing monitor I have ever seen produced by Viewsonic. Some brain power in the company decided it would be a good idea to inform their users which mode you are in “Analog or Digital”. Well it would be fine if this message didn’t pop up 6 times throughout the boot up screen while in “Analog” and 3 times while in “Digital”. That doesn’t cover how many times you will be annoyed to death seeing this message appear upon opening various desktop applications, then to see it again upon closing those applications. It is enough to drive you into the mental ward! If you own this monitor and cannot return it, take the time to call Viewsonic to file a complaint on this issue. No one should be stuck paying this type of money on such incompetent crap!
