Description:
The ViewSonic VP150M is one reason why the traditional CRT (cathode-ray tube) monitors' time may be coming to an end--not only is the display quality unmatched, the unit is also eminently affordable. With a viewable screen size (15 inches) comparable to that of a 17-inch CRT monitor, the ViewSonic VP150M provides ample screen real estate while taking up precious little desk space. Measuring 15.35 x 16.69 x 9.39 inches and weighing in at a mere 15.4 pounds, this lithe flat panel can easily fit on any narrow desktop. The VP150M's native resolution looks best at 1,024 x 768, though it supports a variety of lower resolutions and refresh rates. The contrast ratio is extremely high, as is the brightness, bringing out the color in even the most poorly lit rooms. Picture quality is immaculate and keeps up with the highest-quality DVD movies and fast-paced games. As is typical with most flat-panel displays, quality suffers when you drop the VP150M below its native resolution. Fonts become a little fuzzy and images a little stilted. Though the calibration controls correct the quality somewhat, we found the images to be slightly less than perfect. Other than the low-resolution quality issue, there was nothing about the VP-150M that we disliked. It offers a sharp picture, excellent picture controls, and a size that'll make your CRT display seem like a bloated space hog. We think the VP-150M is an excellent flat-panel display. --Dan Simpson Pros: - Sharp picture quality
- Great color contrast
- Inexpensive
Cons: - Poor low-resolution quality
