GS790 19in/18.0v 26mm 1600x1200 76hz Short Depth

 

WHAT'S HOT: The 19-inch GS790 excelled at rendering graphics. Colors shone brightly, particularly in photos. With a very short depth of only 16.2 inches, it occupies much less desktop space than any other monitor its size. And at $285, the GS790 is a...

Vibrant colors in photos and on Web pages make the GS790 a good choice for graphics pros.

To buy refurbished or not to buy refurbished.. this may answer that question.

 

First, let's start at the beginning. Wanting to dazzle my family and friends by size, like any true Texan would, I originally purchased a refurbished Hitachi 21' monitor. When I got it home and plugged it in the picture seemed perfect. Well, except...

It's superior in color, clarity, and style. SOLD! Wrap it up and ship it home

I didn't get one sooner & It's not a 21'. ; 10

This 19” Monitor Will Fit Where You Think Only a 17” or Less Would.

 

This monitor was not my original choice, but I'm glad I got it. Where I work, a co-worker needed a new monitor to replace his tiny 6 year old, 15” screen monitor that was just about to go out. Since he deals with large spreadsheets all day, I wanted...

Short depth. Not much more expensive than a regular sized 19” ; monitor

Great deal

 

I purchased this monitor used and have been thrilled since unpacking it. The monitor has a large footprint, but it is a 19 inch monitor. I have been pleased by the monitor and have no real complaints. It qualifies as a no frills monitor because it...

Nice picture quality, inexpensive

Good monitor in price category.

 

Bright, clear, and fairly crisp display.

Controls are akward, edges of screen are hard to align.

Good monitor in price category.

 

I'm not going to get into the specifications, if you want them, go to Viewsonic's webpage. What I will go into is my experience with the monitor.

Bright, clear, and fairly crisp display

Controls are akward, edges of screen are hard to align

A pixel of disappointment

 

Small footprint for such a huge monitor

Just can't cut it at 1280X1024, funky controls

19" But Its So Small...

 

Clear picture, small footprint for a 19" monitor.

Designed to run at 1282x1024 resolution - on screen graphics are smaller.

19"? But Its So Small...

 

The problem with monitors is this... the larger screen size, the more space the monitor takes up. An ordinary 19 inch monitor may barely fit on your desk. Unless, of course, its the Viewsonic GS790. This monitor has a 19 inch screen (18 inch...

Very Nice Monitor

 

Searched all the product reviews before I knew about epinions and landed on the GS 790. So far, no major problems. I've got a small computer desk and the short depth is awesome! I was worried about needing to move the desk away from the wall with...

Very short footprint

Rare screen twitching (see text)
