Princeton Eo2010 21" Monitor (Pc/Mac)

Summary: Great Balance of Quality and Price
Review: I bought one of these a month ago to replace a Princeton 17" I have had for a long time. My 17" was so reliable and the quality was great, so I decided to stay with the brand.

It was a good decision to make. The Princeton 21" monitor actually takes up less deskspace than my 17" did, and the quality is excellent, especially for many of the newer games that take advantage of the 3d graphics cards. The color depth and dot pitch provide an excellent viewing experience. The quality is probably more evident when playing DVD's, however.

Monitors are not the kind of thing you want to buy a new one of every year or two. You want one that will last a long time, and provide great quality. My Princeton 17" is 6 years old and still is one of the best monitors I have used, and I have no doubts this 21" one will show itself to have just as long a life. The quality difference is amazing, especially adding the 4" of additional viewing space. Also, the monitor seems to run quite a bit cooler than my 17" did, which in my small office is a real factor.

If you have the money to make a new monitor purchase, the Viewsonic 21" is the one to consider. Sure you can get cheaper 21" monitors, but for something that you will be looking at so much over the next 6 or more years, do you really want to risk it, or skimp and get something you end up not being happy with?

This is one purchase I have been very happy with. 4 Stars, and the only reason it isn't 5 is because it isn't a flat screen.

Summary: Beware Product warranty
Review: personally installed five of the E090/E0900 monitors. Over the course of time three of them failed within the warranty period. Of the three, one has yet to be returned. Why is this important? It has been ten months and all correspondence and calls have been ignored. I have talked to regional managers and customer service reps. They are (apparently) refusing to honor their warranty. I, as a dealer, had to replace this monitor for a customer out of pocket. I can't believe I am the only one this has happend to. Therefore, anyone who purchases any Princeton monitor should be aware that their warranty policy is questionable. if the monitor fails, you may have to buy (presumably a different more reliable brand) on your own. I have dropped the line entirely.
