ViewSonic VA1912wb (Black) 19" LCD Monitor

Pros: Low refresh time, Viewsonic quality, multiple inputs
Cons: No height adjustment (common complaint)

My wife and I bought this monitor to replace our 20" CRT monitor and so far it's a great replacement. Our reasons for replacing were mostly I wanted to and the sheer size of the CRT made it so you had to 'sit back' away from the desk because you were ...

Pros: 19" widescreen, colors, brightness, price
Cons: too simple speaker system, connectors cover

After doing my homework on LCD monitors I choose the VA1912wb and I'm happy with it. It's probably not the best on market but is very good one for the price. It replaced a CRT 14in. monitor so the difference is awesome. I can only compare it to LCD's ...

Pros: Great picture. Good text. No ghosting. No dead pixels.
Cons: Wish it were bigger.

Great monitor. Text is crisp. the graphics are great. Half Life is great on this monitor, and at 8ms, there is not ghosting. DVDs show really well too. Although the screen can be a little taller, I love the wide screen, which allows you to multi-task. you can work on two documents, monitor something else while you work on another thing. I will never go back to a non wide body, although my next purchase will be a 21in wide body. If viewsonic had made one and it was available at costco, i would have purchased that one.

But this monitor will do for now!
