Great Flat Panel.......2004-06-20

This monitor has great picture quality. I've used VGA and it is still excellent quality. My brother experienced some problems with the screen flashing pink, but I think it's actually a video card problem, and not the monitor.

One of the best I've ever have.......2003-10-03

I got my vx800 from Dell. No dead pixels at all. I use DVI with it. Ths image quality is awesome and the response time is good (no problem with gaming or seeing DVDs.... though still slower than my SONY Trinitron CRT if you compared them together with some monitor test program.)

The view angle is wide enough.

This is a great LCD monitor.

Pricey...but an very, very good LCD monitor........2003-04-27

I bought the VX800 back in November 2002. After 5+ months of usage, it's been a great monitor. Married to a dual processor Macintosh w/ a 64MB video card, this monitor has performed flawlessly. No shadows, not one bad pixel - not one bad thing to say about the quality of the monitor. But..... a couple things worth mentioning.

First, the speakers that come with this monitor are barely adequate. Good for basic sound but that's about it. And finally, this was my first LCD monitor; knowing I'm paying more then I should when compared to other quality LCDs with the same warranty period and bad pixel policy. With that said, there are monitors just as sharp as this VX800 for much less money. If you're comfortable buying an LCD with a top of the line brand name, ViewSonics and Samsungs are who to turn to. But when I buy my second LCD for my other computer, I'm going to look very closely at LCDs from Hitachi and Envision. These two companies make terrific LCDs with great warranty/bad pixel policies for significantly less money.

You won't go wrong with any VX series LCD, but you'll also do well spending less money for the same quality buying a Hitachi or Envision. This VX 800 gets 5 stars based solely on the quality of the monitor. If price was to factored, I'd drop the rating to 4 stars.

Great Monitor at a Fantastic Price!.......2003-04-05

I purchased this monitor 3 months ago and have absolutely loved it. In reference to the review referring to compatability issues with ATI video cards, I would like to mention that I have used this monitor with both a lower end ATI 32 mg analog video card and encountered no problems whatsoever, and I have recently upgraded to a new ATI Radeon 9000 128mg video card and have encountered no problems. This monitor has worked flawlessly for me, and I love it.

Great LCD Monitor!.......2003-03-05

This monitor has the cleanest and most crisp display of any monitor that I have ever owned. I am a graphics designer so I've always owned high end CRTs. This is my first LCD and I'm very pleased with my purchase. Amazon offers it at a great price and their customer service is always superior. I've had this monitor for about 4 months and couldn't be happier with it. I'm not sure what one reviewer meant by the description being wrong about the 600:1 contrast ratio....because it is indeed 600:1 and not 450:1...you can recheck that stat by going to ViewSonic's website. Also, I would definitely suggest you go to a store to look at different ones in action. I could not find one this nice at any of the stores I visited but I was able to see lower end ViewSonic's and I tho't they had by far the best display.
