Summary: After looking for quite some time for a LCD...
Review: After looking at Samsung's 19T and other models I thought i had made up my mind on the Samsung. However, when i saw that Viewsonic was coming out with a new model in their vp series I was intrigued to see how it performed. Knowing others with excellent experiences with them i decided to purchase the vp181b without actually ever seeing it in a store. I definitely made the right choice. Once I had it out of the box and hooked up, I was instantly impressed with the amazing brightness and contrast. After having used my Dell Ultrasharp display for about a year, it was like looking into the sun. Here are some of the advantages that changed my mind: - About $100 cheaper to get a 18" instead of 19" (Note: The screen resolution is the same for both 1280x1028 the 19" just stretches it more).
- It's a Viewsonic and they are known for excellent quality products.
- The vp181b has dual inputs (analog/digital) and a 4 port USB hub built in
- Extremely sturdy base, it looks like a penguin, however it is unbelievable well designed and rotates very fluidly.
- Cable managed prongs on the back to keep everything nice and organized.
- The vbXXXb's allow for portrait mode; this feature is very nice if you are a college student and write a lot of papers like I do, in fact, you can see an entire page in MS Word and it makes surfing the web easier as you can see more on the page. Basically though, I would recommend this display to anyone that is a college student, graphics professional, or just someone who likes a well built display.

Summary: Awesome monitor!
Review: I've had two of these monitors for a couple months now and continue to marvel at them. No dead pixels on either one and the image quality is as good as it gets. As far as the 30ms refresh rate, I've played Madden 2004 for over 50 hours on this monitor and never noticed any lag whatsoever. It's absolutely perfect. The pivot capability is also totally cool.

Summary: Wow!
Review: Nice bright/clear display. The 18" screen really shows a nice and vivid picture. I'm only using the VGA input right now (my graphics adapter doesn't have DVI...but my next adapter will and I'm now ready for that since this monitor can handle both). Setup was also extremely easy without any troubles.

Summary: Screen rotation
Review: Nobody has mentioned that this monitor can be rotated by 90 degrees to give portrait orientation. That means that for a single page of text or a portrait orientation picture, it is as good as a 1600 x 1280 screen.
