Hello People,
I thought I'd see if any of you own a Viewsonic 19" PF monitor. I am thinking about upgrading to one, and it's a toss up between that one and the flat panel KDS monitor. I've seen both and played with their screen controls, and I wanted to see if anyone had any info, ideas, or bad experiences with these monitors.
Thanks for any help,
Phil

I own that monitor just bought it like months ago at best buy for 479 I think. I like it but it sucks hot a$$ at 1600x1200. The text is really fuzzy. I am using a voodoo5 5500 and Iget about 75 hrtz at that reso. But I use mine at 1280x1024 and I like it no fuzziness or anything. It puts out a 85 hrtz at that range. The text is bright and crisp and games look sweet. They have tons of image controls so you can set it to almost perfect screen size. The only thing I hate besides the crappy 1600x1200 reso is that it takes about 20 min to warm up the screen and the sides to stretch to what you set it at. I called tech support and they said that that was normal. Oh well that's my .02.
