Summary: Super Monitor but watch your Device Manager closely 2008-10-29
Comment: I purchased this to replace a 19" CRT by Viewsonic. The difference in night and day. Sharp, clear and great small footprint.
Now after loading the drivers I checked my Device Manager screen in Vista and found that two drivers for midi and other supported device with a yellow triangle. I went to my mobo downloads and got the proper driver updates and no problems, but this is something to watch where one driver can screw-up another driver.
This is one great monitor and I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Visually stunning display! ViewSonic is a trusted name in my house! 2008-10-04
Comment: Having bought a ViewSonic VA1912WB 19-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor (Black) some time ago for my new Dell XPS series, I didn't think a 19in monitor could surpass the display quality of that monitor, but I purchased this VX1940w 19in and was absolutely stunned. INCREDIBLY bright screen that is so bright, I even have to turn down the brightness considerably, especially at night, because it's almost overwhelming.
Contrast (3000:1) is fabulous too, and, while I don't have the tech to time the vaunted 2ms refresh time, this monitor is noticeably faster than my previous ViewSonic, and it's no slouch.
I have not had any problems that others have mentioned with this monitor. No defects, though I agree the build quality is slightly less hefty than its predecessor, though it's nothing I'd even take a star away from it for.
It is true that you need a serious graphics card to take advantage of the features. I'm using this monitor on anHP Pavilion Media Center TV M8430f Desktop PC, Refurbished, Core2 Quad Q6600, 2.40GHz with 4GB RAM and Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS, though mine was bought new and is not refurbished as the one in that link is. The graphics processor onboard is an NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT 512MB PCI-Express x16 Video Card with DVI.
Native resolution is a stunning 1680x1050, which I use for gaming (with its 2ms refresh rate!) and for professional graphics quality editing with my 10MP Canon DSLR. Superb editing possibilities with that combo!
When I'm doing word processing, though, I avoid the tiny-iconing of such a powerful resolution, and tone it down to 1440x900, which is a bit easier on the eyes. All of this can be accomplished VERY quickly on the fly with no hiccups so far. The changeability of the display settings is very handy, and this screen is by far the best of its kind I've seen on the market yet. Would not hesitate to buy another ViewSonic as soon as I need one.
HIGHLY recommended.

Comment: This monitor is clear and crisp in resolution. No issues with it and more than worth the price.
My cat shadow misses my old viewsonic though. There will be generations of cats that will never know the warmth of a CRT monitor on a cold winter night.

Summary: excellent monitor 2008-09-12
Comment: A month ago, I upgraded from an older 20" ViewSonic flat panel to a pair of these VX1940w monitors. I've been extremely satisfied with the experience. As a software developer, I've had dual monitors on my last two jobs, so I've gotten really spoiled. The ability to have so many windows visible (not just open) really is a productivity boost. These monitors are very sharp and bright, with excellent contrast and very good color. The build quality is good; one monitor has a stuck pixel, but it starts working after the monitor has been running for a while. The other has no pixel problems at all.
The one complaint I have is about ergonomics. This monitor has a short stand, and the height is not adjustable. Each monitor is sitting on a very thick book, but fortunately I won't be needing these books any time soon.
Color consistency between the two monitors is not perfect. Although the screens are very sensitive to viewing angle (true for any LCD I've ever seen), one monitor is definitely a little warmer and perhaps a little brighter, even though the setups are identical. It's a small difference, but if color reproducibility is important to you, you should be aware of this. Color temperature is adjustable, but only to four presets. (A lot of LCD monitors offer color adjustments but not in terms of color temperature, so this is a plus.)
Both monitors are running on a single Nvidia GeForce 7800 video card. This card has two DVI outputs, so both monitors benefit from the digital signal. Vista's dual monitor configuration is excellent, and the task bar and sidebar can be placed on either monitor.
Overall, I highly recommend this monitor.
