Viewsonic VP950B

Adjustable stand, good physical appearances and acceptable color after calibration

I purchased 3 panels back in 2008 for a multi Monitor system and wanted to post an update on my Viewsonic ownership experience. At present, I am on my fourth RMA (i.e., all three plus a panel that was replaced in late 2009 failed a second time last...

nice for the short time it works

Same problem that hundreds or even thousands of Viewsonic owners are having with this and other Viewsonic models. All of the sudden, the screen blacks out and the power light goes blink blink blink and you have to spend 10-20 minutes doing all kinds of...

Decent picture quality when you can actually get a picture

I bought three of these for my company and the third one just failed last week. I looked like an idiot and I will NEVER buy garbage from Viewsonic again

Response time is quick

Viewsonic has been selling monitors with known defects and requires customers to pay the cost of shipping to return them for a repair or replacement, which carries no real guarantee anyway. More than one model version has a defect which prevents the...

Clear, bright colors - Nice for viewing photographs, movies, and gaming. I'm not a professional photographer or graphic artist so I can't really comment on color fidelity

Way too bright out of the box. Had to drop to 40% brightness to make tolerable. Noticeably uneven backlighting when screen has very dark or light image. Image dims noticeably when moving only small amounts from side to side and top to bottom ; Biggest...

Stand superior to VP930b except for ruffles. Power in middle works better. Horizontal view is fine. Pixels 0, bleed is minor top and bottom on black. Fine for dual display with same size or web etc

Oversaturated colors and angle suggests a MVA or more likely a TN, not a PVA or IPS panel. Makes my 930b look dingy (the way I like it for 24/7 work)

Great monitor for photo work. Great color, easy to set up and adjust

As others have commented, the PerfectSuite Plus software included with this monitor simply doesn''t work. Email to the support center at Portrait Software has not been returned

I'm into amateur digital photography, so I was looking for a monitor that had good clarity and color depth. I have been greatly pleased so far. The colors are very clean, and very pure. I bought a 19" 4:3 HCT (a Korean brand sold on post in Seoul) and...

With a black screen there is the faintest bleed in the lower left corner, and very minor light seepage from the bottom, left, and top. I can't tell any difference in my displayed images, however. I imagine that the bleed has something to do with the...

No dead/stuck pixels, black light bleeding from the top of the screen, brilliant but inaccurate colors and a very sturdy stand. LCD is good for gaming with some adjustments

LCD may not be the best for correcting colors on digital photographs or video. I will probably need to experiment a bit or invest in color calibration software. The monitor shipped with software for color calibration but it does not work. I have...

I purchased two panels for either side of a 22" professional series monitor made by another manufacturer; connected to 8800GTS display adapters. Overall, No dead or stuck pixels or obvious defects in either panel. The monitor stand is sturdy,...

Average to below average color quality out of the box at the default 6500K, with strong disposition towards blues (i.e., blue-shift) and minimal backlight bleeding. Oddly, there was a 200K difference between the two panels when measured at factory...
