ViewSonic VP201s

The VP201s is aggressively priced for a 20-inch LCD, but the less-than-perfect display performance makes it less appealing than some of its 20-inch competitors.

ViewSonic VP201b

Very thin bezel; highly adjustable; sharp picture with excellent contrast; includes USB 2.0 hub; HDTV compatible.

The image quality, while good, isn't the best of its class.

This high-end LCD gets an A for design, features, and adjustability, but its image quality falls a smidge short for the price.

DVI cables

Why use a DVI and a VGA..There are three types of cables:- DVI-A: Analog only DVI-D: Digital only DVI-I: Digital and Analog. You need to try a DVI-I .... Hope this helps! Love this monitor BTW. Got mine for free from a friend :)

replacement works perfectly

The manufacturer couldn't repair this model (failed back light is my guess)during the summer and sent a brand new one to replace the vp201b. I would recommend the warranty that Viewsonic offers to quick loan you one while the other one is being...

Some boot difficulties

This is the finest LCD monitor I have ever had for visual quality. But it has a quirk I haven't yet figured out. The first one simply wouldn't produce an image after four reboots of my machine. I RMA'd it and NewEgg had a new one at my door within...

ViewSonic VP201B Black 20.1" 16ms LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 400:1

I got the silver framed version of this. A purchase I will never regret. This display rules with everything my 800xl throws at it and every person I know who lays eyes on it wants one.

RE: Not good enough for games

Try using the DVI port instead of the analog. Makes a huge difference.

Not good at all for gaming!

Ok, for all the people saying there is no ghosting, I wonder if you've been playing pc games for more than a couple months..The fact is, there is ghosting, and it is very noticable in every game I've tested it on. For all you people who have been...
