Summary: WONDERFUL monitor for most people
Review: With a few small gripes, this monitor is still wonderful for most. (NOT good for Graphics Professionals.) If you don't want to go above 1280x960 on a 19" monitor, and you're on Windows, you're pretty much guaranteed to be happy to get this monitor at this pricepoint. The color is pretty good, the pixels are fairly small, and a 75 refresh rate(at 1280x960) isn't half bad. This is one of the best 19" monitors you can get for around this pricepoint. The gripes... - Slight moire towards the side near the lower part of the monitor under Linux or the Mac OS. (9, X) cannot be gotten rid of using on-screen Moire reduction controls, and Degauss does not effect it. It can be gotten rid of in other ways, but they're more difficult. - at 1280x960, the maximum refresh rate is 75, which is a bit low. Going above 1280x960 can make the refresh rate intolerably low. (The monitor supports a 1600x1200 resolution) - On-screen controls make it unnecessarily difficult to fix trapezoidal/pincussion issues compared to some other brands, and the higher-end Viewsonic monitors. - This monitor is *BRIGHT*. With the brightness settings on the monitor all the way down, the monitor was still far too bright, and required some tweaking from within the OS to bring the brightness down to a comfortable level. Overall, though, it is about half the price of the monitors that are gripe-free, and compared to other 19" monitors in the same price point, the issues I experienced with the Viewsonic e90f were minimal and easy to resolve.
