Viewsonic VP912b 19" LCD Monitor (Black)

 (9 customer reviews)

I have never owned an LCD monitor until I purchased this product. After hooking it up and turning it on, my first impression was "WOW!" I just can't believe how great everything looks with this monitor! I have always been satisfied with the image quality of my old CRT, but if I had known how much better an LCD monitor could be, I would've bought one years ago! Rest assured, this monitor is far superior to ALL LCD's I've seen in use (including the more expensive models), and especially laptop displays. Unlike most other LCD's (particularly laptops), the VP912b is easily viewable at pretty much ANY angle without any degradation of image quality or color.

If you plan on using an LCD monitor for games or movies, there are two things you want to check: response time and brightness! With its 12ms response time, the VP912b is one of, if not THE, fastest monitors available today. You WILL need this speed if you intend to display fast-moving images and want superior quality...Read more

It took a long time for me to overcome my reluctance about spending over five hundred dollars for a monitor when my whole Dell PC cost about the same, but now that I have it I couldn't be any happier.

Best of all, it pivots ninety degrees...allowing me to view entire Web and document pages without having to scroll. Mama mia, this feature is simply PRICELESS! Especially for someone like me who works with text docs, spreadsheets and web pages all the time. It makes me chuckle when I recall the days (just a couple of years ago) when I would've had to shell out well over twelve hundred dollars to get some massive vertical CRT tube to have that capability.

Setup was quick and painless out of the box, though I did have to manually install the monitor drivers---probably a quirk of Windows XP, but the instructions the installer...Read more

The days when you needed a big, power sucking CRT monitor for gaming are over. With a 12 ms response time, the Viewsonic VP912b provides a great gaming monitor with no ghosting or trailing. I play FarCry, one of the most graphically demanding games around, with this monitor and I can't tell the difference in the picture quality on the Viewsonic and my old Dell CRT. Not only that, but switching to the VP912b lowered my power bill and the temperature of my office. This is a terrific monitor. Get one!
