Still running like a charm!

 

Still running like a charm!

This monitor has been great being over four years old. It was manufactured in Oct1998. I'm sure there are many power users for monitors and there is always the issue of cutting on and off or using a screen saver. This monitor has been through hell. ...

Worst monitor I have ever had !

 

Worst monitor I have ever had !

I bought three Viewsonic monitors over the past three years(PS790, GS790-2, and E771), and man, what a huge mistake! They are all dead now while ten-year old Dell monitors are still kicking. Don't expect it to last long, if you buy one. I will never...

A great monitor -- and now a great deal, too.

(Note: I actually own a PF790, which is what they used to call this model until a couple of years ago. There may have been slight changes to the monitor since I bought mine. I'm sure the quality has gone up in general.) This is a great monitor if you...

See it to believe it!!

Excellent monitor in every sense. I couldn't believe I was using the old monitor until I switched to this one. I bought a used one for around $$ and it was worth every penny of it. I would say buy it to believe it!

Great monitor, excellent graphics, small desk space

 

Great monitor, excellent graphics, small desk space

I've owned this monitor now for 2+ years, and I've never been happier. It really takes up the same space as a 15"! And with an above average video card (geforce2), you can get flicker free resolution refresh rates, and definitely reduced my eyestrain....

Best Short Depth you could find up through 1999, and still Great today. (Updated 2/24/02)

 

I purchased the Viewsonic PS790 because I knew I wanted a 19" monitor, but I truly needed the short depth feature. My computer desk at home barely fit my 14" monitor from 1993. Measuring some new 17" monitors, I realized that anything bigger would...

Primarily, the short depth. Also, good picture, and easy controls. Very reliable

Slight 1/16" curvature at top and bottom middle of the picture

ViewSonic PS790 (White) 19 inch CRT Monitor

 

I've bought 3 19" monitors in the past year, including the Viewsonic PF790, and the SONY G400, and another one from Optiquest. This is my fourth one, and I've got to say that it has excellent price/performance. While not a flat screen like the Sony or...

Excellent picture quality, vivid color, and small profile

Screen not flat like some other monitors on the market

Great Picture

 

I love this monitor. I replaced my old 15" with this 19" model and my eyes have thanked me ever since.

Dot pitch, visual quality, high refresh rates, bright, pleasing to look at

Slight moire patterns which appear on the sides
