I have this LCD and I can attest to its awesome picture quality and excellent response times. I chose it over a 2001FP because I felt the colors were brighter and I didn't think I could game at 1600x1200

looks great on DVI too!

No, you can't.

No, not unless you stack books under the stand.


It is one killer display though. Very bright.

no you can't adjust the height rotate...thats one downside from the VX710b...you lose that functionality. But you can adjust the height by stacking it since the stand is completely flat.

How about the rebate? Viewsonic ripped me off for a big rebate ($50-100) before, and stiffed a whole group of us here a few years back until we got together and threatened legal action. Deal with them at your risk, I never will again.

I never had any problems with rebates from OfficeMax. I will have to see if ViewSonic doesn't come through. I have a strong feeling that they will though. :)

1280x1024 is a bit pointless for a 19" though. Unless you want to watch DVDs and TV on it. Otherwise save money and get a 17" LCD which has text that is highly readable at 1280x1024.

If not then get a 19: with 1600x1200 to actually get some productivity out of the larger screen.

agent2099:
Name a 19" with UXGA 1600x1200 that tops this LCD.

1280x1024 is perfect in 19" I just upgraded from a 17" using 1280x1024 and I can tell you first hand that reading text is easier than ever now that things are slightly bigger. Larger resolutions are crap for productivity if you are straining your eyes.

This is one of the nicest 19" monitors on the market.

My monitor just broke the other day and i need to grab a new one..
Is this worth getting even if i play a lot of fps games or would a normal crt be better?
Thanks.

People say that but I wonder how many own a quality LCD? I can not tell the difference. And I run both in my shop.

I just bought this monitor. This is my first lcd monitor, so i cannot really comment on how it compares to other lcd's. However, it is a lot sharper and brighter than my old viewsonic G810 (21inch crt, similar viewable area). Playing everquest, the only issue is some smearing of the names over characters when i turn fast, graphics dont seem to smear. It comes with an analog cable, not dvi. I have to be very close and wiggling the mouse very fast to see this. I'm not sure about dead pixels. I'm looking for a program to test that now. The viewing angle seems good to me. It seems well constructed, base seems strong, panel doesnt flex or creak.

From what I have been hearing that sony XBrite technology sucks. The black mirrors and doesn't look good at all. I am extremely happy with this VX910 19".

Also the dot-pitch is actually better on the ViewSonic compared to the Sony.

$669 for the Sony vs. $599 for the Viewsonic. Might as well buy that uber-expensive DVI cable (which I am sure you can find for less than $30)

Now lets check out the side-by-side features of both:
? Pixel Pitch .294mm for the Sony, .264 mm on the ViewSonic
- The ViewSonic has a much finer pixel pitch meaning you have a lower likelihood of seeing those annoying fine black lines in between pixels.

? Horizontal Scan (kHz)
80 kHz for the Sony, 82kHz for the ViewSonic
- The ViewSonic wins here again with a higher refresh rate.

? Vertical Refresh (Hz)
75Hz for the Sony, 85Hz for the ViewSonic
- The ViewSonic wins here again with a higher refresh rate.

? Response Time
12ms for the Sony, 16ms for the ViewSonic
- Sony takes the slight lead in this category. You are not going to notice the 2ms difference.


I can tell you I am very happy with my new ViewSonic VX910. I feel that with the Sony you are paying far more for the name than you are for a quality LCD.

Go ViewSonic.

Pitch:
( .294 - .264) / .294 is 10% difference

Horizontal scan:
if you use a dvi cable the monitor only allows you to set 60hz and 75hz, that 85hz does nothing for you

Response time:
(16 - 12) / 16 25% difference

Also the viewsonic disables auto and manual image adjust if you are using a dvi cable.

Using the DVI cable there is no reason you would need to use the "manual image adjust" feature. DVI-D interfacing means that the image is reproduced perfectly geometrically.

Even if you somehow needed to adjust the image, I would gather that the Sony would do the same also.

And come on now... comparing % differences between two completely different aspects?!?!? You make little sense at all....

I pitty you. Go spend the extra $60 on the Sony brand name. We need more morons like yourself to keep pumping money into our economy

Did you read my original post? I told you I played games and saw smearing, which is directly related to response time. If you are so smart, why can'nt i set the refresh to 85 while using a dvi cable then?

I've had the monitor for a while and I have yet to see any smearing what so ever. And I came from a 19 inch Iiyama monitor with a DiamondFlat tube. Great picture, great looking monitor and the resolution is perfect.

I have no complaints...if you guys have been waiting to jump to LCD then this is the time to do it.

Who do you think I am??? ViewSonic Tech support..... heh, do your own homework. I will drop a hint though - PowerStrip. There is no doubting the specs, the ViewSonic has a better refresh rate and pixel spacing than the Sony.

Don't even get me started on this one. You have no experience when it comes to LCD's and you admitted it from the start.

What you saw was smearing of text???? This might be caused by any number of things. If you are using the analog cable it is probably interference. If you are using the DVI-D I would try a different graphics card. This 'smearing' you speak of sounds like such a strange and obscure occurrence.

Oh, and put down the evercrack and start playing some big boy games. You call yourself a gamer... HAH! You don't deserve a ultra low pixel response time.
