Summary: Great Buy
Review: I bought this monitor for gaming and other graphics applications. It works great. Clear, crisp, vibrant picture and the gaming mode feature that increses the brightness in games. Great dot pitch and can handle virtually all resolutions. Great quality for a good price.

Summary: Amazing
Review: I noticed the blurriness early on too, but a bit of tweeking and everything became clear and easy to read.The ultrabrite mode is incredible and highly recommended for anyone who plays computer games. Double contrast and brightness makes day scenes very realistic, and you no longer have to stumble around in the dark at night or in caverns. I found it comfortable to set the resolution at 1600x1200 at 85hz. Also, this monitor is very cheap now, at only [item price]. For 19 inch and 2048x1536, this is the best deal I could find.

Summary: Great Buy
Review: I purchased two of these to use as dual monitors. I thought the first one was defective as text on the left side of the screen was blurry. I called Viewsonic and they said it was defective. I tried the second monitor with the same result. Not defective; this is the way it is! I wouldn't recommend this monitor because of this. I've had better luck with NEC.

Summary: It's great
Review: I tried the best thin screen LCD by Sony and I didn't like it even though the manager at Best Buy insisted it was the best gaming monitor in the store. There just wasn't enough contrast. They told me at stores that carried a larger selection of CRT's and thin screen LCD's, that I should get a CRT if I wanted more contrast and better colors, but I wanted something right away and went to Circuit City where they sold me a bargain CRT monitor by Samsung something or other 95f. I hated it.
Lately that's all they have in CRTs in the local stores - bargain CRTs. The Samsung was about $200 and I could never get it set right for text pages as well as games. Even when the text looked good the photos on web pages tended to have huge dark areas. I could never get a proper black color out of it. The picture always seemed tinged with a gray fog. This Viewsonic professional is the only monitor that has deep, rich colors from what I've seen.
I haven't had any problems with fonts being blurry. I do use a refresh rate of 75. The edges look good. I had a viewsonic pro before and was very happy. If they still carried them in the stores, they'd have saved me a lot of time and hassle. I will say my previous viewsonic broke after 3 or 4 years and I couldn't get anyone to fix it.
For your font problems try this. Control Panel/ Display/ Appearance/ Effects/ Check off "use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" and then choose "clear type" from the dropdown. It makes a big difference. Like someone else said, "my eyes feel like they're being massaged". Why windows has this "clear type" option buried so deep I'll never know.

Summary: Nothing "Professional" about it.
Review: I've just received my third defective monitor from Viewsonic. The first monitor suffered from uncorrectable vertical distoration, bent vertical grid wires, and uneven brightness. The second monitored started failing after four months of use. The new monitor has uneven brightness where half the monitor is darker than the other half. Viewsonic has lost me as a customer. The shipping cost to return them is starting to add up.

Summary: Great Picture Quality At Center
Review: It has a great picture quality at the center, but not the edges. As with mostly all trinitron monitors the image is badly distorted on the left and right sides of the screen, and the image quality varies according to where it is displayed on the screen. I am a graphic artist, and well it is very important to me... the colors are vibrant, but the quality just doesn't stand up to viewsonic's G-series monitors.

Summary: Big disappointment for a thing with such potential
Review: The major thing about this monitor is the resolution capabilities (up to 2048x1536@60hz). My primary goal was to run it just at 1600x1200@85hz. However, this is one of the worst monitor for reading text. Nec and Viewsonic have come out with this new trick in which the put a "flat glass in front of curved monitor" and call it flat square monitor. Unfortunately, that created convergence problem right at the dot level, reason why text is blurry when using these monitors. Anyway, the higher the resolution on these monitors the blurrier the text is. In fact, you only get decent readability if you run the monitor at 75hz or less. Althought the blurriness goes away at lower refresh rates, low refresh rate make most people eyes bleed. So, 75hz seems to be the sweet spot between blurriness and bleeding eyes. I run my monitor at 1920x1200@75hz, and I have tuned it up (moire, convergence, etc.) to a point where I am pretty satisfy with it. Text looks pretty good now. I bought a 17" flat panel for a dual display configuration (CRT + flat panel) in order to get the best of both world. Text is by far better on flat panels. So, all my text stuffs are done on the flat panel and my graphic stuff on the viewsonic. Oh yes, despite the text problem, graphics are stunning on the viewsonic P95f+. It is very bright and has an ultra-bright mode for games or dark movies.
