"One of the best for sharp text!"
Pros: Sharp text, easy to use menu, great price
Cons: can not adjust height of screen
Summary: If you use your computer primarily for working on text documents and reading text on the web, this is one of the best monitors on the market. I have used, purchased, and looked at numerous LCD monitors, and haven't found any that display text as sharp as this one. AND the price is very attractive; $240 after rebate.
I understand that other monitors may have higher contrast, or better video performance watching DVD's or while gaming. However, since I watch DVD's on my HDTV and my kids game on a game console like Xbox or Playstation, this is not a big factor for me.
So if your priority is sharp text that is easy on your eyes over long sessions in front of the screen, this Viewsonic model is a great choice. By the way, the newer model of viewsonic that I think replaces this one is not as sharp with text. Best advise for buying monitor is to check it out with your own eyes in the store; much like a TV, what "looks best" is very subjective.
