Viewsonic p95f+

[shm0]

hey guys, hopefully someone more knowledgable than I am on this subject can help me with this.

I purchased a p95f+ (production date May 2002) and I noticed that from the left side of the screen starting at about 10% to about 30% horizontally is blurrier than the rest of the screen.

So I drew fine lines in PS, and found out that some areas are nice and clear, but others get blurry.

I contacted Viewsonic, and they sent me a new monitor, p95f+ (production october 2002)... and this is the difference.

the tube initially wasnt as geometrically balanced, I had to tweak it ALOT more than I did with the original, but eventually I got it pretty good, still some sinkage on the left and right sides.

The focus on the most part is fine at anything up to 85hz, but at 100hz at 1280x1024 or 960 the focus becomes quite alot worse... not horrible, but noticible to the trained eye.

Im starting to think its not the monitor itself, but rather my video card.... asus gf4 4400 ti, and my asus gf2 64mb gts also did it.... I heard nvidia cards dont have perfect display quality...

got any ideas? or should I contact viewsonic and get it RMA?

Hey
I just bought a p95f+B, and had the exact same probem as you for the bluriness in the bottom left corner. I ordered it at the same time as a friend of mine, who also had that problem. I personnaly am running as Asus v7700 32mb, and my friend is running the ATI 7200 AIW. The bluriness seemed to happen no matter what the resolution, but only with refresh rates higher then 60Hz (which is really pitiful). As soon as the refresh rates went above that rock-bottom value, the bluriness appeared in that area. The monitor is spectacular for gaming, and yes the Ultra-Brite mode is quite useful (but adjusting the Gamma in any game will do just about the same thing), but for anyone who does a lot of work with spreadsheets, programming, text-editing, etc. you will notice that you'll be doing a lot of eye straining to read the blurry areas. I returned my monitor and am hoping that the situation can be cleared up. I've been looking at the P95f and the LG915ft+ and both are slightly more expensive, but the clarity is phenomenal from what i've seen: pity they don't offer them in black.
Hope this helps....
