Summary: Had it for a While
Review: Best investment on my computer - I spend a lot of time reading on the computer, and this has made my eyes relax.My parents have the VX900 19" LCD, but I highly prfer this one. More widescreen so movies look better. I have the DVI connection going, and while playing UT 2003 I had ZERO ghosting problems. Great monitor, great company, nothing more to be said!

Summary: A personal big screen and finally a flatpanel with good vid
Review: I always expect a lot from a monitor with a price tag hovering around $1000 and the VG191 does not disappoint. It is simple to setup, basically just plug and play. The screen is very bright and displays video almost flawlessly. The screen is also HUGE, i mean its an absolute monster, but still fits in a small area and weighs less than 20 pounds... when combined with the VB50HRTV by viewsonic, this thing is a multimedia Godsend. I have xbox, my gigahertz computer and satelitte all hooked up to this and they all look spectacular on this monitor. Portrait mode is really nice as well. For any gamer or corporate user that wants the ferrari of monitors sitting on their desks and people to go by and get immediately jealous of the size of your monitor.... this is the one! 5 stars.

Summary: Flickers Incessantly, Viewsonic Support Has Not Responded
Review: I bought this monitor because of all the excellent reviews it
got, because of Viewsonic's service reputation, past satisfaction with Viewsonic products, and because it looked good in a store. However, on my machine (a Dual Athlon with a Radeon 9700 card) it flickers incessantly, making it useless. Viewsonic has not responded with assistance or a warrantly replacement despite my submitting 3 requests with them.
When it works, it looks nice for the price, but since it is
unviewable about 50% of the time (the flicker sets in after 2-6 hours of uptime), that's not so great. I'd like to have given
it a good review, but it's hosed, and Viewsonic's support has
gotten very unresponsive since I last had a problem with one of
their monitors. I am reconsidering whether or not to purchase
any of their monitors in the future based on this experience.

Summary: Wow, this flat panel is great
Review: I had to replace my 17" crt, so I started shopping for a flat panel. I decided on the vg191, and don't have any regrets. It's only a few days old now, but so far I love it. Nice big picture, no dead pixels, very bright and vivid. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a big flat panel that will not break the bank buying it.

Summary: Flickers Incessantly, Viewsonic Support Has Not Responded
Review: Overall this is a very nice monitor. It is very bright---so bright that I decided to turn down the brightness from the factory setting. Colors are vibrant and rich. We have two dogs, and photographs of the black one in particular are stunning---much better looking than on the Sony CRT that this monitor replaces. Photographic detail is excellent too. Text is very clear and sharp, and I appreciate the large size at this resolution. Since text was the main reason I decided I needed an LCD display, I am quite pleased. I also like the fact that the height is adjustable, since it makes working with bifocals more comfortable. There is one pixel that seems to be stuck in the on position, but it is only noticeable if you search for it while the screen is blacked out. The monitor passes the tests at monitorsdirect.com/toolkit with ease, including the pixel response time test there. However, if I drag a black cursor rapidly across a white background, I can see a small trailing blur. Despite its MVA technology, the monitor doesn't seem to be faster overall than my recollection of the Apple displays. Still, movies and DVD's play well. The bezel surrounding the display is somewhat old-fashioned looking, and seems to be in a style more suitable for a CRT than an LCD display. In particular, it is sculptured to have a surface that curves somewhat toward the viewer in the center, and this seems to cause an optical illusion which makes the screen itself look a little curved (it isn't really, of course). Probably this effect would be less noticeable with the black model, which wasn't available when I ordered mine. It probaby deserves 4.5 stars, but since the system won't accept that and since it's not quite perfect, I'll give it a 4.
