I'm planning on upgrading to >25" by year-end; looking at this model, I'm disappointed that the neck is still fragile looking...
It's such a shame they haven't brought out a higher res model - I guess that's probably down the line somewhere.
Oh, and who ever uses built-in speakers? Ditch them, Viewsonic, and shave a few ££ off the price.
I find myself wanting a bigger monitor eversince I started using an Xbox 360 Controller when playing Dirt2 on my PC
I don't get why if a monitor has a really good response time, their refresh rate doesn't match that.
Example: for this monitor, it could theoretically do 1000Hz.
Or for my desktop monitor, it could do (1000/5)= 200Hz
Why so limited?
But then again, make the screen with LED backglight, 120Hz and DisplayPort, and I'll pay double that for it.
But then... how fast the pixel can responds to those changes is the pixel response time.
The shit part of it is how they play games with the pixel time listed - they measure the time it takes for a pxiel to go from one gray shade to another, not measuring color. In reality, if pixel repsinse time was truly even 10ms (that 1/100th of a second), you would not see any ghosting on the screen, but move your mouse around and it will leave a trail on almost all LCD monitors (that I've seen).
When I bought this monitor back in 2002 i thought that viewsonic was the worse trademark ever.
Now it is completely the other side. I love this monitor!!! 27" for 349$!!!!! Really cheap and crazy :D
BTW That girl in the screen is really attractive :PPP
The price is 349$
