ViewSonic VP201B 20" LCD Monitor

Anyone have this monitor? Wondering if it's any good... I've been using a NEC 1760NX for two years and it's been absolutely flawless, but it's time to move up the ladder. (and upgrade my entire rig in the process, lol)

I posted over in the hot deals forum (although probably NOT a hot deal with zero replies and the rampant 2005FPW deals running around) so wanted to get some opinions.

Thanks

I have the silver-cased VP201s. It's outstanding. No problems running any sort of gaming, including fast-paced like UT2004. No dead pixels, etc. Best money I ever spent on a computer!
 
Many people flinch at the price of a professional grade monitor such as the
Viewsonic 201b until they actually sit in front of one..if you spend more then a few hours per day working or playing then you deserve a first class viewing experience and the price will seem *well worth it* and you'll never look back.
 
Well, i just happen to have the Dell 2001fp AND the Viewsonic Vp201b.
(2001fp is on my backup pc, and vp201b is my wifes)

Comparison between the two.
BOTH have excellent image quality.
We game ALOT and dont notice any ghosting on either lcd.
The Dell seem to exibit more of a "screendoor" effect, why? I dont know, but its only really noticable if you're like 5inches from the screen.

All i know is i paid $560.00 for the Dell and $900.00 for her viewsonic and the price difference WAS NOT worth it.

But price differences aside and to answer your question....YES the Viewsonic VP201b is an EXCELLENT LCD!.

Personally, i'd compare the two and buy the one with the best price. 😉
 
Hey thanks for the replies all. So I took the plunge and ordered the VP201B for $518 after discounts. Hope it's not a refurb! Will be sure to update this thread once I get it (which might be a while, cuz a friend is getting it for me in the US).

mtdew, you are one lucky guy mate - a wife that games a lot! :beer:
 
She likes games like Doom3 and Call of Duty, if she can kill something, shes happy.
She watches football and nascar with me too.
Only drawback is, i have to keep 3 pc's upgraded for gaming, its gets expensive but i get "things" in return. 😉
