Description:
Proof that big things sometimes come in small packages, ViewSonic's PS790 19-inch monitor occupies less space than a typical 17-inch model. This alone would make it an attractive choice for those who require a large screen but don't have space to spare. However, the PS790 happens to be an excellent monitor to boot.The PS790's 0.25-millimeter dot pitch provides a sharper picture than usual for a 19-inch monitor, especially when it comes to text quality. Onscreen controls, which you access through a set of front-panel buttons, provide access to the usual functions--color controls, video level, screen size, and position. You can also access brightness/contrast controls from the front panel. Windows 98 automatically installs the PS790's software drivers. ViewSonic provides a CD-ROM with the required software if you are running Windows 95. (The CD-ROM also includes a collection of screen savers.) If you are a Mac user, you can enjoy the benefits of this monitor, but you'll need to purchase a separate Macintosh adapter to enable compatibility. ViewSonic's PS790 is an ideal choice for graphics professionals, Web publishers, and game enthusiasts. And if you're upgrading from a 17-inch monitor, it will get the job done in the same amount of space, or less. --John Frederick Moore Pros:
- Small design
- Macintosh compatible
- Sharp image and text quality
Cons:
