ViewSonic VP201s

 

The ViewSonic VP201s is a big and beautiful 20-inch LCD monitor. The panel has a 1,600-by-1,200 native resolution that delivers an impressively fine image. And at $1,050 street, it's a good deal compared with other 20-inch displays.

High resolution. Portrait and landscape modes. Wide viewing angle

Some image-quality flaws. Limited documentation. No autosync button on front panel

The 20-inch ViewSonic VP201s is a big-screen high-res LCD with a low price for its size. It has some attractive features, but it also has some flaws that make it less appealing than some alternatives.

Amazing Deal, Great Performance

 

Amazing price and performance. Fun features that become useful everyday. Ease of setup and use.

I couldn't find the black case version of this monitor for the same price.

Viewsonic DOES NOT work on MacOSX

 

Lovely screen, looks great. The silver matches my Powerbook.

DOES NOT work with MacOSX, no matter what the box claims.

Excellent monitor. Thanks again not only to Newegg but the individuals that take the time to post so that others can make wise decisions. This was the case here. I agonized over this and the 19". I had the extra smack so I got more monitor. Out of the...

Wow, straight out of the box, first time setup was perfect. No dead pixels. I had to turn down the brightness, it was just too bright. I have not purchased any computer part that was as high quality as this. And of course Newegg delivered it in just...
