The monitor has a nice, flat screen, takes as much space as my old 17" did, and features an UltraBrite Mode that probably won't be used much by me. The picture quality is pretty good, however, the problem I have with the monitor is that on its sides (especially on the right side), there is somewhat of a blueish hue. However, you really have to look hard to spot it, but it's there. I thought it might have been the monitor itself, so I returned it and got a different one, same model. After plugging it in I noticed the same problem. I will be keeping it for now, since the 19" they sell locally here aren't that great either. :( The good thing is though, it has a 3 year warranty.

I have had this monitor for 2 days and have tried every setting combination possible. The colors are bright and vibrant and when watching night or dark scenes on dvd the picture is amazing. I am not a gamer, so can't say how it looks for that. However, you cannot get a clear text no matter what your setting. I spoke to tech support at View Sonic and they verified that this monitor is truly designed for graphics and not text. Text is most blurry in center of screen and some words have such "shadowing" that you can hardly read them. Sorry View Sonic, but back to the store you go. Should have had that information in your technical description or on the box.
