Review: Although they try to confuse some consumer with the 0.23 horz. dpi hype. The montior is really a normal .027dpi. (To calculate it's sq. root of the sum of .23 sq (horzintal dpi) and .14 sq (vertical dpi): [(.23*.23)+(.14*.14)]^(1/2) = actually dpi .27 That horizontal dot pitch nonsense is the latest marketing gimmick from monitor manufacturers (and I hate it).Another problem is the fact that the factory settings are set at 9000's something kelvin and other to extreme to show up sharper on show room floor. So adjusting is needed, with the kelvin about 6500 would have a more true look. A side from that, this Monitor replaces the V95 with a little less feature and is actually dimmer, however the lower cost and quality is a bang for the buck monitor. The Q95 is excellent for gaming or any home user need.

Summary: Good quality, great price
Review: I'd really give this monitor 4 1/2 stars - the extra half being for the outstanding price. The other reviews are completely correct: this monitor needs serious adjustments to the factory settings, however these are easily performed for the most part. I did also have to go in and manually adjust the refresh rate. In addition, as someone below mentioned - this screen is a little less round than the usual, but by no means "flat" I'm using this monitor for graphic/web design and desktop publishing at an institution on a budget - the graphic display is quite good, but not stunning... although, considering the price, I'd say you're definitely getting a little more than what you paid for.

Summary: A good budget-price 19" monitor
Review: I've used this monitor for 4 months and am pleased with it overall. I'm not a graphics professional and only use it at home mainly to surf the web, play games, and watch DVD movies. Text (when small fonts are used in Windows display settings) is very sharp at 1024x768 resolution, but becomes hard to read at higher resolutions. Playback of DVD movies looks fine, but the full screen movie image is slightly less sharp as it was on my old 17" monitor, probably due to the bigger screen (the difference is so slight that I've since gotten used to it). Despite being advertised as a flat-screen monitor, the screen of the Q95 isn't that flat. Out of the box, the monitor settings are less than ideal; many settings are factory-set at one extreme or the other. I had to adjust many of the settings to get the desired picture quality for all the software I use. There are plenty of adjustable settings, including those not usually found on cheap monitors: moire reduction, h- and v-focus, RGB values, etc. The monitor remembers settings for each resolution. This is a plug-and-play monitor. It needs to be ON during Windows startup or it won't display properly. You need to use the included floppy to install the "monitor driver"; installing any other Windows-provided driver won't do. Computer games look great on the monitor (my graphics card is 3Dfx Voodoo3 2000 PCI). Due to the bigger screen size, I find the image at 800x600 looks a lot worse than what I used to see on smaller screens, and now prefer 1024x768 as the optimal resolution in games. Therefore, if your PC isn't fast enough to run games at 1024x768, having a bigger screen wouldn't be much of an advantage. (My PC is an Intel Pentium II 400Mhz with 96MB RAM, and I manage to get good frame rates at 1024x768 in Descent 3, System Shock 2, Quake 2, and Half Life.) This isn't the monitor's fault, of course. But many people think a bigger screen automatically means better picture. Your PC needs to be able to perform well at higher resolutions as well.

Review: Love my new monitor, Out of the box the settings needed adjusting but were easy enough to manipulate to fit my personal preferences. Customer Service @ ViewSonic was a dream, I received a damaged driver disk, but I let them know and my new disk arrived as fast as fast can be. I would recommend this monitor to anybody looking for a great value in the 19'inch category.

Summary: You Will Not Beat this Monitor for the Price
Review: Not only is this an excellent price for a 19" monitor, but after several months, I am amazed at the quality of the display. It scores outstanding marks for the brightness and contrast. I have run this monitor at 1600x1200 and it looks great. The only minor issue I can find is that the control screens are a little hard to navigate through, but hey, I have a $1200 Sony as well that is even harder. If you are on a budget and want a great monitor, you won't regret this purchase.

Summary: Inexpensive, yet beautiful
Review: This monitor Is amazingly SWEET, it dosent have quite the footprint on your desk as a normal 19' monitor, its easily the most system compatible monitor I've seen. Getting into the graphics themselves, I am an avid gamer, and have used this monitor at other's houses before. It is simply gorgeous!
