Summary: Great Monitor but games beware this is not the monitor for y
Review: Great Monitor but games beware this is not the monitor for you.

Hello

Picture Quality = Awesome best i have ever seen.
Normal PC use ex browsing Internet = Same as above Just awesome.
Movies = very well i recommend it for movies.

Games = NO.. do not buy this monitor if you play 1st person games where you use mouselook alot because you will have noticable ghosting effetcs. When buying a large TFT 20 and bigger for gaming make sure it has the lowest response ms as possible and read reviews on the internet to see if the claimed response rate of the screen is Justified.

Im sending this monitor back for a Viewsonic VP201b or VP201s.

Hope you find this info useful.

Summary: VX2000 vs VP201S
Review: Hello again i have now swapped my VX2000 for a VP201S and the following can be said.

VX2000 have a better image quality.
VP201S is alot better in fast paced games for example
Return to castle wolfenstien and Painkiller because its a 16 ms screen compared VX2000's 25 ms.

If you dont play games get the VX2000 its cheaper and better image quality. Also if you only play slow paced games like strategy games this is probobly ok. Movies if youre going to watch movies i still suggest the VX2000 its really good with Movies. However if your an avid gamer who plays all type of games alot then i have to suggest the VP201s or b since its better suited for that task.

Hope you find this info useful.

Summary: BEST LCD Monitor on the planet today !!!
Review: Since I got this monitor home and hooked it up to my GeForce4 with DVI input and set the "reccommended" display setting to 1600X1200. I was absolutely blown away by the graphics quality of this monitor. I have played games, DVD movies and online videos. All, are superb. Are you a game nut? This is the LCD monitor for you. I just played my purchased copy of "Call of Duty". AMAZING game but most of all, AMAZING monitor. The colors were rich, clear and precise. No fading or distortion af any kind. I bought this monitor on eBay for a much better price. But, it's well worth forking over the list price that you see for sale online. What a monitor!!! I've been looking at LCD's for quite some time now. I finally found one that blew me away. Go buy one...it's worth it!!!

Summary: Best for Photo Editing
Review: The Colors are much brighter and clearer than on old non-MVA LCDs. Also the contrast makes more shades visible in the dark range. The viewing angle does not limit one's working position and also allows several people to see the same qualtiy picture. I have no dead pixels. I use a 3Dlabs Wildcat VP in UXGA mode on the DVI input with perfect synchronisation. In reviews of other UXGA LCDs and other Graphics Cards I found may that don't do the UXGA mode well. But this combination of Viewsonic VX2000 and 3Dlabs WildCat VP is just perfect.

Summary: nice monitor, nothing extras
Review: the vx2000 is clearer and brighter than my 21'' viewsonic CRT at work. my 1600x1200 linux desktop is easily visible, even in bright daylight. my laptop lcd pales by comparison, as do most CRTs.

this monitor weighs less than all of the other 20'' lcd's, but is well balanced and does not dislodge easily. the base lifts the image about 6'' above the desk surface (think about that if you like to stack your monitor on top of your desktop computer case).

to connect your vga, dvi, 1/8" mic, and 1/8" audio cables, the back cover of the vx2000 must be pried off. the back cover is pathetically cheap for such an otherwise high-end product, -- there's not even a diagram in the printed or electronic user's guide showing how to remove the delicate plastic pieces. be careful.

the speakers and microphone work as advertised, but i'm frequently muting the monitor speakers (convenient dedicated button for this) and putting on a headset to get better sound.

if you use x-windows to zoom resolutions, you'll want to stick to viewsonic's advertised resolutions for the vx2000. even at the supported dimensions, the monitor takes a lengthy pause to 'autoadjust' at each change of resolution (at least with the analog video card i am presently using).

one more thing worth noting is that loud, high-pitched chirp from the vx2000 monitor's on-screen controls can be silenced via the setup menu -> touch tone option.

Summary: Beautiful display, speakers are a huge disappointment
Review: This is a beautiful display, but I wanted something that has built-in speakers. My last display, a Planar flat panel, had about what you would expect from tiny built-in speakers and they served their purpose. I guess I didn't realize what I had -- because the speakers built-in to the Viewsonic display are so poor that it sounds like a $5 children's toy. HUGE disappointment, considering the size of the display and enclosure. In retrospect, I would not have purchased this display had I heard the speakers in advance.
