Viewsonic VP920b

[Spontz]

Might anyone here know if the Viewsonic VP920b is any good? I currently have a VP930b, which I need to return as it hurts my eyes (I believe it's the response time, every moving object is blurry, and the entire screen seems somehow... glittery? I can't think of the right term, as I've never seen this before).

Is the VP920b basically the same as the VP930b, only faster? Does its presence in the "professional" series mean that, unlike most gaming monitors, it's as well-suited for photo editing and the like as Viewsonic claims? So far, I can't find any good information on this monitor.

Yes, that describes what I'm seeing. I'd been scratching my head over this, and the matte finish just hadn't occurred to me as a possible source of the problem. It makes everything on the screen seem to warp and swim very slightly in my peripheral vision, and it's giving me quite an astonishing headache.

I'm also having a devil of a time adjusting brightness, contrast, and color values. It seems to have two ranges: too dim and MY EYES ARE BURNING.

I agree absolutely about the problems with LCD monitors. This much is nothing new to me. Unfortunately, I can't seem to escape them. There simply are no trustworthy merchants who sell reliable used CRTs where I live. As no one is making good CRTs these days, that means I'm stuck with an LCD.

I suppose the only thing to do is begin ordering, testing, and returning LCDs until every retail store and online merchant on the planet bans me. :x

Will do, thanks. I truly appreciate the help.

Assuming Wikipedia has accurate information, the AS-IPS panel sounds like my best bet. It also said that these are most often used in larger displays. If I have problems with the way high-resolution LCDs turn everything exceedingly tiny, is there some solution of which I should be aware?

Any way to make the VP920b a TV monitor connected to a satelite box?
