Review: Bought this monitor six months ago, when it was more money, and I still do not regret it. This ViewSonic is outstanding. I watch DVDs, my MPEG movies, and digital pics with exceptional clarity. My brother, the computer nerd, was so impressed, he too, bought the LCD flatscreen; actually said I made a good choice. For my needs (fyi: I use this for creating my own webpage, graphics, sending MPEG movies & digital pics...the creative side of my brain, and excel, but I am far from a computer wizard), I required a monitor w/a large screen, takes up very little space, beautiful resolution, and clear type (in some monitors the actual type is hard to read, not as bold as this monitor). This ViewSonic delivers. For me, a must-have.

Review: I've had the VG175 17.4" LCD monitor for about a year now, having bought it when it was more $, and I couldn't be happier with it. It's footprint (and weight) is nothing compared to the 19" CRT that it replaced, and I like the picture much better. The viewable area is HUGE. No more eyestrain from staring at the CRT either. It was a relative snap to set up, and the display is crystal clear. The swivel adjust is a nice plus. I know someone who owns the VE-150 15" LCD and there is no comparison between the two. This monitor puts it to shame. ... Highly recommended.

Review: This is an excellent monitor with super crisp text and outstanding graphics. If those are your uses, you'll be very happy with it. However, if you are a gamer...or have kids who play games...I was happier with my old 19" CRT. I think you would be too. Although game graphics are great, fast movement results in blurred images. I bought this monitor specifically because I had read reviews stating that this was not a problem with this monitor...but it is. Not an overwhelming problem, just a little disappointment.
