Summary: Money well spent.
Review: I did much research on buying a Flat-Panels since I was replacing my CRT, I did not want to make a bad choice and waste my money. I eventually came across the Viewsonic vg500 LCD monitor.

To start off its one of the sexiest Flat-Panels I have seen. It has a 450:1 contrast ratio which is the highest I've seen in its class. For those that don't know, the higher the first number, the better. I had some trouble opening the back to attach the power supply and monitor cable, so be careful not to pry too hard or you will scratch something up. ;)

Installation 5/5
It was a snap on my Windows XP at home. All I had to do was plug it in and Windows handled everything for me. It does come with its own software and drivers which I installed.

Performance 4/5
I notice a flicker/glitch every now and then. Doesn't happen often but maybe once every 2 days. It's not anything bad nor does it permantely damage it, but it's not 'perfect'.

All in all, it was well worth my money and I was very impressed from the transition from CRT to LCD.
