Summary: Not worth the money 2008-10-06
Comment: First of all it should be noted that it is a monitor, not a computer monitor.
It works better as a monitor for your dvd player or 2nd generation console (using its component video inputs) rather than a serious computer monitor.
The VGA input is very poor: computer images are ghosted and faded. I have a couple of laptops with HDMI output and had hoped that the picture from a digital output would look much crisper. It didn't; from both laptops the HDMI at monitor
s native resolution, the pictures look even worse than on VGA input and there is no way to adjust that (the adjustment menus are disabled when on HDMI input).
It also doesn't automatically detect the active input (you have to manually select it). Very disappointed as I had used very good quality 22" Viewsonic monitors (VG2230WM).

Summary: Caveat Emptor (Poor Customer Support) 2008-09-10
Comment: First of all, I did not purchase this item from Amazon... rather this review is for Viewsonic support. I purchased a Viewsonic Factory Refurbished VX2835WM 28" LCD Widescreeen monitor that was delivered to me on August 20th. 48 Hours later (yes, a mere two days folks!) the monitor was dead. It would not power on, nor display any sign of life. Power cords and outlets checked out okay. Nothing. As this was a refurbished unit the vendor was unable to replace it as they were out of stock, but I was told to contact Viewsonic. My first call to them resulted in an clueless rep telling me there was nothing they could do. I called back and spoke to someone else who told me the refurb unit carried a 30 day warranty. I snidely asked him 30 days from the time it left their factory or 30 days from date of purchase? Suprisingly, they issued an RMA but I had to ship it back to their factory in Walnut CA at my expense ($50. I was told it would be approx 14 days before I got it back. I shipped it on Aug 22, 2008 and it arrived on their dock on Aug 27, 2008. I checked the RMA status online a couple days later and there was no record of receipt showing. I called viewsonic and was told it sometimes takes up to 72 hours for an item to be checked in. (Mine took 120 -- or 5 days) Today, September 10, 2008 I called to check status, as surely one would think it would be repaired by now... I was then (politely) informed that the 14 days are 14 BUSINESS DAYS.. and they commence from the date the item is checked in.. meaning I will have to wait until at least September 23, 2008 before I can expect any update. If at that time the monitor could not be repaired, I will be offered a comparable model replacement if identical model is not available...
If this is any indication of the level of support you receive when you purchase a Viewsonic product, you should keep my experience in mind...

Summary: WOW! 2008-09-05
Comment: The only negative thing I can say about this product is that now everyone in the office wants one. It was a good value from Amazon and they did a white glove delivery. That is, they didn't use UPS, they used a trucking company that called to confirm when they could deliver.
The color is great and you can have ALL your applications open at once, cause you have plenty of space on this screen. We use for CAD work so need really good resolution which this has. Our IT guy is a video game enthusiast, he LOVED it too.
I can't wait until the budget allows one for ME too!

Summary: no problems here 2008-08-29
Comment: I'm not a professional picture editor, and you probably aren't either. Everyone who has seen this monitor in my home has commented favorably on it, and I have to say that I'm quite satisfied.
Chances are, if you are looking for a terrific monitor at a price that won't bankrupt you, this may be it. I haven't seen any of the problems that some of the reviewers have claimed. Bigger is better, and I'm not complaining.

Summary: Well worth the risk, DO IT ! 2008-08-05
Comment: After using dual monitors for the last ten years it is such a relief to be able to use just one again. Not having that line in the middle is great! It Plays HD full screen and everything fits.
I actually keep some windows like email, web and word.doc about 1/2 size and centered. Most web pages are not designed to expand to HD size and some programs work better in smaller windows.
With 3D modeling, animation, video editing and graphics you give up a tiny bit of detail moving from a CRT but what you get in return is so worth it. I can finally fit everything in one monitor, see it and use it.
Being able to see more of your 3D model and get closer to it helps a lot. This ability is invaluable. This monitor is like having four full screen views of a quad and when switching to single screen you see everything and more. What a pleasure! You can see so much more of what you are doing. It makes the creation process go so much faster.
I would like to be able to remove the base of the monitor as my desk is the perfect height for viewing and resting my elbows. You wouldn't think 3-7 inches would make a difference but it does. I might have to cut the desk legs down or break the base off. Not sure which way to go with that yet.
I am glad the speakers are build in but would rather have a smaller frame. The frame would look better a a flat black rather than a shiny reflective gloss black.
The menu is a bit limited and I have not grasped why some features are grayed out when you try to use them. Not a lot of adjustment is necessary as it works just fine.
I had some trouble with HDMI out from the video card to HDMI in on the monitor. It pushes the image off screen 2 inches on all sides. So plan to use the dvi/vga input cable instead. This was with the Nvidia 9800 GX2. Maybe HDMI input works with other video cards?
With a blank screen and a solid color you can see a c shaped gradient on all sides from a distance; however, when up close as in normal use with a program open everything appears as a solid color. I am not sure why this happens?
Many years ago I paid $800 each for two 17 inch flat screen CRTs and many years after that, 600 each for two 19 inch CRTs before I purchased this one 28 inch wonder. I was scared to do it. I almost purchased two 20s for 250 each but took a gamble on this one. It was a little weird getting used to one monitor again but EVERYTHING is so much better. I will never go back to dual monitors again !!
I am looking forward to the 2K version . . .
