Worked only 4 Years and 2 Months and died. June 13, 2010 VLADISLAV LIBERMAN (NY USA) It worked only slightly more that 4 years for the average home use and died. The software provided never worked well. The pivot adjustments had issues with picture and menu position. Had light bleeding at all 4 corners. It's overpriced. Does not help to build reputation for ViewSonic.
This is one classy LCD monitor -- I love it in 2008 August 19, 2008 Avocadess (Austin, TX United States) It's interesting to read the older reviews here. I see that I was very fortunate to buy mine at a discount electronics store locally. I bought it used and it works GREAT. I did not know that when new it came with its own software. I plopped down $40 for (online) for PivotPro software in order to easily rotate the screen angles for portrait versus landscape, but the used price was low enough that even with the software I paid half what this monitor cost when it was new.
It is just gorgeous. I love it. The stand it is on IS very stable and secure. My son hooked it up for me and as far as I could tell he didn't spend a lot of time with the color or anything. It is just great as is. Wow. I lucked out. It's a beaut...!
Great imaging but annoying halo or ghost effects December 30, 2006 Leicaman (San Francisco) After a couple of months my VP930b showed halo or ghost effects of fine black detail, e.g., characters, gridlines or the mouse pointer, on non-white backgrounds. These effects are replicas of the letters or lines in white, offset slightly above and to the left of the black letters or lines. The halo effect in color is somewhat more complex with objects such as desktop icons or low resolution images.
To eliminate my 4-year old VGA video card as a possible cause of the artifacts I installed a new Nvidia FX5500 graphics card and connected it via DVI. (This card was one of the few in stock at CompUSA that fit my AGP 4x slot.) The artifacts are still there, now sharper than before.
I run the VP930b at its native resolution and 60Hz refresh rate.
I regularly profile my VP930b with a Gretag Macbeth Eye-One Match 3 system; the process includes calibrating contrast and brightness.
Aside from office applications I work mainly in Photoshop CS2. With the new GPU and DVI, image definition and color rendition are outstanding.
My attempts to elicit an intelligent response from ViewSonic's customer service have not been successful. "Send it in and we'll see" is not my idea of troubleshooting.
ViewSonic VP930b 19" LCD Monitor November 10, 2006 C. Alexander (Calif.) The ViewSonic VP930b LCD Monitor is very sharp and clear. I like it because it has an adjustable screen. There is no ghost problems with this particular monitor. A good monitor for the price.
GREAT PRODUCT November 10, 2006 Bill (Florida,USA) This view sonic is a great monitor. Excellent color and clarity. It was very easy to install and set up. Being able to adjust it up and down as well as vertical is a big plus in my opinion.The stand is very strong and gives great support to the monitor. It has a sleek modern look. I highly recommend this product.
