ViewSonic VP720b

 

This 17-incher displays better graphics than text.

Pivots and tilts easily.

Height adjustment feels a little choppy.

Great for Eyefinity with three of these, side by side

 

I got three of them, used, for a great deal. I needed good quality and responsive monitors for my 3x Across Eyefinity gaming setup.

Fast refresh, thinner bezel, fits 3 across inside my computer cabinet. DVI connection. Height adjustable

Bezel could be thinner, Speakers are useless

I got in the mail and its everything I wanted. The only problem I have is the box since it not really travel friendly, but I have another monitor I can use when I move my computer so it isn't that bad.

Cheap monitors.

 

Cheap monitors.

I have 2 of these at work. They were bought through Newegg back in March, and I use them for about 9 hours a day. While locking my computer today I noticed burned images on each screen, one has the iTunes bar on it and another has one of the programs I...

Great Monitor

 

I shopped around, this was a bargain plus the warranty is great. I purchased this for a dentist office to give employees online technical updates. They did not want seperate speakers so the output of this monitor was critical. It turned out to be...

Great sound compared to other models. This has 3 watt output, most only come in 1 watt. 3 year warranty parts and labor, most others are 1 year or less

Absolutely none

Great Monitor!

 

I dont use the speakers, so I can't tell you about them. It does seem a little bright, but I am still messing with the settings. The controls are on the side, which is a little strange and takes getting use to, but awesome monitor.

Awesome monitor! This is my second LCD. I just built a gaming sysetm. I have the wifes system hooked up to the Acer AL1715 and it is good, but this is better. I am using the DVI connector. Very good monitor
