RIP after 2 years.......2006-09-17

It was a great monitor while it lasted. (Only 2 years) Was working and then screen went blank.... Thought the computer died. Fortunately it was just the monitor and I had another to replace it. I came back to this page just to find its specs so I can get a replacement.

Sorry ViewSonic.... you are off my list, permanently.

Perfecto.......2003-10-23

Resolucion excelente, sonido muy bueno, controles de facil uso, el unico inconveniente es que no permite rotacion/movimiento horizontal izquierda-derecha y el vertical atras/adelante es muy limitado.

Good monitor.......2003-09-23

The color and picture are excellent. My only complaint is that the monitor makes a weird snapping sound every 30 seconds after I turn it on. This lasts for about 5 minutes.

Top quality flat panel.......2003-09-05

I did quite a bit of research on the web and browsed many times through the stores checking the picture queslity of flat panels, and I always concluded that ViewSonic and Sony looked the best (without spending [$$$] or more). I chose the ViewSonic VX700 because it had all of the features I wanted, and after getting it all set up I'm even more impressed.

First of all, ViewSonic includes all of the cables you need with this monitor: DVI & analog, speakers, microphone, power. I hate it when I buy a component and the cables are extra - c'mon people!! Set up was as easy as connecting the cables - Windows XP did the rest.

The picture is unbelievably bright. I had to turn down the brighness/contrast from the factory because the whites were just too pure and bright! I immediately adjusted the refresh to 75 Hz as others recommend and there is no trace of flicker or shadowing - with text, internet, or games (I ran Black Hawk Down - not the fastest game but it looked perfect). As far as the speakers go - I believe the people saying they're too weak listened to Metallica on volume 10 for too many years! I find them plenty loud - setting them at about 75% is loud and comfortable. If you're looking for deep bass however, these don't do it. And, because they are so close together you don't get great stereo separation - true with any intergrated speakers. But for everyday use and games alike, the volume is more than adequate. My first priority is a clean desktop though, not high-end sound. The integrated microphone is a nice add-on also, helping make a clutter-free desktop. A back panel also hides the cable connections.

The profile is thin, the black/silver cabinet looks sharp, and the picture is crisp and perfect - and I have an analog hookup now....can't wait to see it with DVI! You won't be let down by this monitor!

Terrific looking screen.......2003-09-01

I did some investigation of flat screen LCDs both on the Internet and in local stores (Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, CompUSA), and it basically came down to the ViewSonic VX700 and the Sony SDM-X72. Ultimately, I decided on the ViewSonic VX700. Both products have a "dead-pixel" policy that scares ... me (7 dead pixels is considered acceptable), so I paid extra and bought my ViewSonic through a store and got an additional guarantee in case of dead pixels. The good news is that when I got home, I had no dead pixels. However, the mounting of the screen to the bracket on the back was slightly crooked (enough for me to notice) . . . one side of the screen was about 1/4" higher than the other side. Fortunately, this was easy to fix. I unscrewed the 4 screws that held the screen to the bracket and then readjusted the mounting so that it was level. That fixed my problem. Everything else about the VX700 is TERRIFIC! Great color; great contrast; great brightness, great clarity. I LOVE IT!! I'm not a gamer. I use my PC for real work. So I can't comment on how well the screen responds to fast action. But I did play a DVD (Lord of the Rings) on it, and it has a lot of fast action, and it looked PERFECT (no ghosting or smearing of images). All-in-all, I give this product 2 thumbs up.
