Summary: "Perfect Flat" Flat Fanatical
Review: I can safely give this monitor 5 stars because of its price and clarity of the picture it produces. The main thing that brought me to buying this monitor was the "Perfect Flat" in it's title. A flat screen is definitely important to me. But, there is still a curve to the actual display, albeit slight, but it's not what i was expecting. And there is deceptive layer of glass in front of the screen that actually IS flat. So when your monitor is off, you'll think it will display perfectly flat but it's not.

That being said, this is still an excellent monitor that i wish was "Perfectly Flat" - oh well atleast my TV is "Perfectly Flat!"

Summary: Great monitor!
Review: I just bought this monitor last week and it's incredible. It did, however, take a lot of time tweeking it, but it was worth it. Crisp clear text, great color, and great refresh rates make it well worth the money. I ordered it from Dell.com, paid a little more then here, but I got free shipping so it ended up being cheaper. And, Dell had it on my doorstep in less then 24 hours! Can't beat that! I knew nothing about monitors when I first started to look, and I read everything I could. I concluded that this, for the price, was the best out there. Much better then the old one I had. If you're a gamer (like me) this is the monitor to get.

Summary: great picture, no sound
Review: I just got the monitor: great picture, easy setup, no hassles, but no sound. My last NEC monitor had speakers and a headphone jack, so I just assumed (yeah, I know, shame on me) that this would have them too. Wrong! So I ordered some Altec-Lansings, and everything should be jake in a few days, but until then, I miss my tunes at work. So make sure before buying that you realize you're gonna need external speaker with this one.

Summary: Excellent monitor, very happy w/ the picture quality
Review: I've been using a 17" monitor for a couple of years now and decided to upgrade to a 19". The most important factors for me were the picture quality and high resolution at decent refresh rates. This monitor has both, and I am very pleased with it. The display at 1600x1200 is quite good, refreshes at 77hz. The flicker is a bit noticeable, but that is to be expected at 77hz. It is still quite useable and does not appear bothersome to me. The resolution that I use, 1240x1024 is sharp, clear, and flicker free. The on screen text is extremely sharp and colors are bright. I would highly recommend this monitor if you're looking for a good quality 19" monitor at a great price.

Summary: ViewSonic G90FB-2
Review: I've had this monitor for about a year now and so far it has been operating reliably. At first, you'll have to do some tweaking to get it set up just the way you like it. I set the resolution to 1024X768 and the refresh rate to 100 Hz, which to my eyes makes it totally flicker-free with sharp graphics and fonts just big enough to make text reading easy.

This monitor has very good brightness and contrast. The colors are solid and vivid. It measures approximately 18" deep and the front glass is flat and exactly 18" diagonal. The screen behind the front glass may be curved (like others have noted), but they use some kind of optical trickery to make the net image seem flat. For the most part, it works, but it's NOT perfect. If you want/need a true flat monitor, perhaps an LCD is best for you. However, if price is a consideration, then you may want to try this value packed item. I have no regrets.

Summary: Everything I could have hoped for.
Review: This moniter is incredable. Huge spread in resolutions, can go all the way up to the incredible resolution of 2048X1536! Thats the equivelant of a photo from a 3.1 megapixel camera. Of course it only supports 60 herts refresh rate at that resolution, making it mostly uselss, but its still great to view photos from my digital camera on it. It will also disply 32 bit color on all resolutions, and at 1600X1200 its suppports 75 htz which looks great. All in all I am very impressed with the specs especially for the $$$$ I bought it at.
