ViewSonic VP2130b not available from Amazon

 

I was really looking forward to using this item when I ordered it. What arrived was not a VP2130b, but rather an N2201w LCD TV with built in DVD player (with a selling price of about $400). When I contacted Amazon, they offered to let me keep the...

Buying more!

 

Have had VP2130b for several years. 4 of them. Never a problem with DVI, heat, etc. Maybe I'm lucky? I run 4 computers, hate having different monitory types. Now ready to by 2 more, maybe 4. Dual monitor mode is great with these, ESPECIALLY in...

The Stand and USB ports are pathetic, I give you that. But, now with redesign of the home office, I'm going to "build" or buy some monitor stands connected to the VESA(?) holes for dual monitors, rotating the screens when needed, and swivel

ViewSonic Pro Series VP2130b Black 21.3" 8ms(GTG) LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1

 

I'm not sure what the average life is for something comparable to this, but for the price paid I expected it would be longer.

Great in almost all aspects. I prefer the 1600x1200 over 1680x1050

Only lasted two and a half years before dying

BUYER BEWARE

 

NONE

Buyer Beware. DVI crapped out after 4 months and then the nightmare began. Sent out for repairs and came back one month later with nothing done to it. Sent it back to Viewsonic, Held hostage for 2 weeks while they did inventory. Evrey person I spoke to...

Nice, but takes some coaxing...

 

This was sent to me as a replacement for my horrible VP201b. Viewsonic support is just as bad as everyone says, possibly worse. I sent my VP201b in twice due to it just "blanking out" randomly. They actually lost my monitor and sent me another...

Awesome picture. Mine has no dead or stuck pixels. I tried it last night with XPlane 8.40, WOW! With XPlane set at 1600 x 1200 resolution the detail is amazing, bright and clear

Mine takes some coaxing to get it going. When I first boot my computer the display comes up only around 50% of the time. A hardware reset prior to Windows booting usually gets it done, sometimes requires 2 to 3 tries. I'm using an nVidia GeForce...
