Summary: Programmer/Gamer's perspective
Review: I would give it 6 stars if I could...I mainly use my computer for gaming (warcraft) and for programming. Warcraft is a graphically intense game and the monitor blew away what I had before. The game rendered beautifully. As for reading and looking at documents, the text comes through very crisp. I would have gotten the vx2000. But for that one extra inch, it would have been an additional $300.00. Ouch...if you got money to burn go with the 20 but you will be happy with the 19 as well. I am.

Summary: Viewsonic VX900-2: A Gamers Perspective
Review: I'd like to start off by saying how vivid and crisp this monitor is for low motion uses like desktops, web pages, spreadsheets, word processing, etc. Good whites, good blacks, bright and clean, with a nice appearance. No dead pixels, good backlighting.

Unfortunately-
It would appear I have very sensitive eyes, and in high motion situations this monitor shows ghosts. Most people I've asked say its not noticeable, but it bothers me when I play FPS's and watch movies. If you're in the same boat, maybe a CRT (I'm switching back) or a different LCD would be better for you.

Summary: Great monitor, great price
Review: I've had my monitor for about 5 months and am very impressed. It has excellent color reproduction and contrast (comparable to my 21" Sony Trinitron). For the size, price and features like DVI input it can't be beat. My only complaints are the lack of Viewsonic offering a screen protector like they do with the 17" model and no pivot (turning the screen to vertical for full page views).

That said this unit has an excellent warranty, even for the backlight and my unit had no dead pixels which is always a concern with LCD monitors. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone looking to save deskspace and is on a budget.

Summary: This is a great all purpose LCD monitor
Review: THis is a great and very sharp monitor. For my first 19" LCD i found it to be quite good. Text is sharp and pictures/images are vivid. I have not found any dead or bright pixels on this monitor even after looking for them. I have tried using this monitor for photoshop and I have found that the color definition is not quite good enough but this does not take away from the 5-star rating because i do not think that LCD are designed for image editing yet.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great monitor, but with "hissing" noise
Review: This is a great monitor. I have nothing to complain about its imaging quality, and the speed is fast. Contrast is excellent, color is brilliant. Also, it has integrated speakers. However, it is also its drawback - the speakers make a very tiny "hissing" noise, which sometime bothers me.

Summary: Would be 5 Stars, if....
Review: This LCD is got to be the best in its class. I use the LCD mostly for game. I use to have a 15" Cornea System LCD but it is nothing compare to thisone. its response time and refresh rate was too low to refresh fast enough for fast moving game, thus lag the game even if you have a good video card. I can said from my experience that this is the best LCD monitor in the market right now that would be fast enough for games. The picture and refresh rate is excellent. I always set the refresh rate at 100 hertz on my CRT monitor. And when found out that all LCD on the market have the maximum refresh rate of only 75 hertz, i thought that the low refresh rate will definitely can't handle intense game graphic, but boy was i wrong. This monitor is faster than some popular brand name CRT monitor. It actually a little faster than my CRT monitor (not to mention my 19" CRT monitor is consider top 3 in its class), the contrast and clarity also is sharper.

But one thing seem to be wrong with this computer that hold me back from giving it 5 stars. As the ealier reviewer mention that he see a bright white dots everywhere on the screen, I too have the same problem.

As I set the monitor to go idle after 5 minutes or so. After the conputer goes into idle for about a minute. I touch the mouse so it wake the monitor up, the monitor blink several times and boom all these bright, twinkling white dots glow here and there on the screen. It looks like gliter. But if you let it go into idle again and quickly wakes the monitor up the problem should be solve. Although this problem does not always occur everytime the computer went into idle.

So my final thought is go buy it. worth every penny. ...
