ViewSonic VP171B 17'' LCD Monitor

 

With physical adjustments including tilt, height, and swivel, ViewSonic's VP171b is comfortable to work with. Along with a pivoting screen--handy for scrutinizing full pages of letter-size text documents--the VP171b comes with Perfect Portrait,...

Despite ViewSonic's claims of an 8-millisecond response time--the fastest available--the VP171b earned a rating of Average on our motion tests. Many 17-inch monitors with slower vendor-specified response times (up to 25ms) received the same score. The...

ViewSonic VP171b

 

Pivot software adds value to a competent--but not spectacular--monitor.

The extras add up, but the screen quality makes the VP171b one of ViewSonic's less impressive performers.

ViewSonic VP171s

 

Brilliant-looking color and even brightness across the screen earn this model top image-quality scores.

The highly physically adjustable VP171s displays both text and graphics well.

VP171 Black/silver 17

 

The ViewSonic VP171s displayed vividly beautiful color on our test photo of fruit. That same quality came across as overkill on our photo of people, however, as skin tones appeared unnaturally ruddy. Nevertheless, the VP171s's other good scores earned...

TV/Monitor Hybrids: Prime Time Meets the Daily Grind

 

ViewSonic's entry into the LCD monitor/lcd arena, the N1700w, is a very good product for the price. Given its outstanding picture quality and attractive video features, you can easily forgive its few flaws.

ViewSonic VP171b 17-inch 8ms TFT LCD

 

ViewSonic has a winner on their hands in the form of the VP171b. As a model in their Professional Series, the VP171b has a no-nonsense, business look. This should appeal to users who are interested foremost in performance. Typical of ViewSonic's...

ViewSonic VP171b - 8ms 17in LCD

 

An 8ms monitor you say! ViewSonic has jumped on the response time wagon by revamping its popular VP171b LCD - but does it really make a difference?

The VP171b's overall image quality is very good, but you’ll have to spend a little time getting it to that point. As for that fast response time, I’m sure it'll please a number of potential users, but as a display for general use whether it be at home...
