Great Monitor
By P. Dietert
No dead pixels, no ghosting. I sure can tell a difference between the 8ms response on this one and the 24ms from my NECs at work. Great color and no manual adjustment needed.

Graphic Design Perspective
By Michael B. Pritts
Viewsonic has many lines of products, including those that are professional, graphic-oriented, and a basic line. I have been a ViewSonic fan for many years....in fact I did not even consider another brand when purchasing this monitor. However, when you purchase this, remember that YOU ARE BUYING THE BASIC LINE OF PRODUCT!I got this monitor as a replacement for my Viewsonic GS790 19" graphic crt monitor. This monitor displayed beautiful colors, but it still was heavy, bulky, and had a few geometry issues. LCDs were getting cheap so I decided I'd try one.After using this monitor for a few months, I've noticed some problems with it. The reviewer who said that this monitor has a greenish tint is correct. I have done many graphic design projects, and I noticed in a grayscale image had a definite green tint to it. I tried many color settings on the monitor, and this was apparent even on the sRGB setting.However, the most annoying part of this monitor is when I browse the internet. Certain characters appeared greenish and the text did not look consistent in color at all. I was able to remedy this by using the custom color setting, opening a webpage, and turning down the green level until it disappeared from the text. I then turned down the other colors so they would be at the same level as the green.It is a bright monitor, but you can see a decent amount of light bleedthrough on a black screen. This isn't terribly important if you're doing office work, you might find it annoying if you look at dark images or watch movies.Looking back, I wish that I had saved my money and purchased a higher quality monitor. Readers - if you are a graphic designer and color accuracy is important to you - you may wish to look at another monitor. It's not completely unusable for graphic design, but it's certainly not the best. Portrait mode is highly useful for graphic designers - I found this out after trying another monitor for a project. If you are a graphic designer on a limited budget, you should save your money and buyer a better ViewSonic product that has better image quality and more physical adjustments.This monitor is not amazing, it doesn't have the best picture in the world, and it most certainly DOES NOT prove that LCDs are just as good as CRT monitors.

ViewSonic Va902b
By Smitty
I have had a very difficlt time with lack of tech support and getting a replacement LCD. I started by an email to text support, I never got a reply. I notified Viewsonice 3/1/06 of the problem of viewing text - a red bleed through made the text very hard to read. The text support person didn't have a clue, she said ship the monitor back and fax them the proper paperwork. Two weeks later no reply. I call again, they couldn't tell me if fax arrived. That was information that only third shift people could access (I am not making this up). I had my dealer call. Viewsonic told them to fax the information again. I finally got the LCD on 3/20/06. They didn't send me a return shipping label thus I had to call them again. I asked why it wasn't in the shipping paperwork and was told it isn't included in all shipments.I tried to calibrate the VA902b on the support page but the unit is not listed.The new unit is not the picture quality I had hoped. My 7 year Samsung had better quality text and brightness.I see others are please with there purchase - I still can't believe what happened. I got the unit based upon the postive reviews.
