Summary: It would be great if it were in stock
Review: This monitor is awesome you will be pleased with the crisp picture and 170 degree viewable range. I can view this monitor no matter where I am sitting in the room with no loss visually from any direction. I had a 17" crt monitor before I bought this monitor. This monitor is better than my old 17". I also watch tv on the vx2000 monitor through my computer and it performs flawlessly. My monitor is currently plugged up via the analogue port not the DVI port. I have not noticed any loss in visual acquity. Images are sharp, crisp, and clear just amazing. Looks great in bright light too. What I mean is there is no fading of picture in bright light. I don't use the speakers because my computer is connected through my surround sound stearo system. My guess is the speakers perform somewhere in the range of speakers that would normally accompany a new computer now days. I love this new monitor. If you are in the market looking for a new monitor at a good price This is a good monitor to go with. The screen does not tilt, landscape to portrait, like the vp201m does, but everything else is just as awesome. You can not seperate the monitor from the stand. The dot pitch on this monitor is a crisp .255. If you are in the market for a new monitor check to be sure the monitor you are about to purchase has 170 degree viewalbe it does make a huge, huge differece in viewable injoyment. The 600:1 vs. 700:1 contrast is not enough to notice or distiguish for your average viewer so don't be too overly concerned with the contrast ratio. 600:1 is excellent! This is simply a great monitor, software loads easily and was flawless. I purchased my Monitor through Mwave.com. I live at an FPO address I recieved my monitor through USPS in 5 days flat. So lots of kudos to those guys for doing such a great job in shipping. My total outlay including shipping was 1170.00 and change.

Summary: A monitor worth buying.. if you know what to use it for
Review: This monitor is very spacious and looks beautiful. I enjoy using it, but there are a few objections i have, including the following:

~It has a 20ms response, so there is ghosting when i play fast paced games.
~It has a very squarish look, not great for multitasking, and you can almost fit two pages side by side, something that would have been a lot more helpful when i do my homework and projects.
~DVI connection... works great.. only after my windows boots, and the booting is over (quite fast for my rig =P)
I miss the Windows XP boot screens, which i have customized myself with skins.

On a more POSITIVE note!!
Lovely colors
Very even colors
+DVI imput greatly increases the sharpness, a must have when working wit UXGA resolution (1200x1600)
+doesn't fuzz up when you go to lower resolutions like XGA.


Great monitor overall, I enjoy using it

Review: This review is not for the monitor - I'm sure it's nice. However, the "24 shipping" is total BS. I ordered on the 7th and PAID FOR one-day shipping. It's now the 10th and I haven't gotten the monitor. According to Amazon's website, I should expect it on the 12th. That seems to be 5-day shipping, so why did I get charged for one?

Summary: great montitor
Review: We have 2 VX-2000 monitors that we use to show multimedia at trade shows. The monitors are one of the best LCD units on the market, with rich vibrant colors and sharp image quality. One great quality is that they handle various resolutions (other than the native 1600x1200)such as 1024x768, without getting fuzzy like most lcds do. They have handled the road trips very well (packed in a custom foam insulated container, and have wall mounts that come in handy for display use. The one negative that everyone needs to know is that the internal speakers are horrible and worthless- they put out such poor volume with no bass you can barely hear them, so if you need good sound quality, either use external speakers (we use a set of bose external speakers) or test some other monitors for sound. I doubt you will find any other LCD in this price with a better image.

Summary: VX2000 is a very good monitor.
Review: When I bought the VX2000, I thought I was getting a 1600x1200 display device with 70Hz frame rate capability. What I actually got was a slip inside saying that it was actually 60Hz only. However, unlike conventional monitors, this is not a big deal, as LCD devices don't flicker on stationary images. For gamers, I'm not sure it would work so well. Otherwise, it is a very good monitor with good contrast. Also the instructions aren't very clear (but they are unclear in lots of languages) as you need to rip off the two back covers to get at the sockets.
