Pros: incredible picture quality, superior clarity, vivid colors
Cons: heavy, somewhat bulky
Summary: Last spring I finally broke down and bought a new computer. I had been using a (heavily upgraded and expanded) Quadra 700 for 7.5 years, and even though it still did most things I wanted it to do, it was time.
I was hoping to get a monitor ... read more

Pros: Clarity, brightness, dark tinted screen, excellent menu features.
Cons: Sensitive to vibration, need more higher horizontal refresh rate to be called professional.
Summary: I am a picky person and when decided to get my 19" monitor I did a lot of research in terms of pricing and quality. In short, I fall in love with this product. I never see the bad picture quality of my other 17" monitor until I get this new one. First of ... read more

Pros: Beautiful rich colors and sharp text.
Cons: Horizontal bow at the first 2" at the top of the screen.
Summary: I just purchased this monitor a few days ago. In general, I'm really happy with it. The colors are quite accurate and bright and the text reads well. It is a monitor that is comparable to and LCD but just not as bright nor has the same amount of ... read more

Pros: Great vivid colors! Clearest monitor I've had.
Cons: Very heavy and big.
Summary: I first used the PF 790 in my office doing some photoshop work. Photos come out very clearly. Man do the colors come out great on the flat screen! Its not a good LAN party monitor with its size and weight. Lugging this thing around, not to mention ... read more

Pros: Affordable, bright color, flat screen, wide range of resolution choices.
Cons: Heavy!
Summary: It was time, it was time, it was time! Over the past year I have been updating a lot of my older computer equipment with newer, better performing, and flashier stuff. First, I replaced four of my six desktops with newly built machines, then I replaced ... read more

Pros: good color, plenty of on screen controls
Cons: not very sharp, very inconsistent quality, less than stellar warranty service.
Summary: I bought a viewsonic PF790 in September 2000.
It was pretty nice but didn't have the sharpest text, text gets a bit blurry in the corners. It is pretty heavy, my manual says 25kgs(55lbs) (especially if you have to constantly carry them up and ... read more

Pros: My god this is the most beautiful monitor ever.
Cons: I think I popped a disk in my back trying to lift it upstairs.
Summary: My old (no name) 15' monitor, 14' viewable was getting really annoying to me.
I wasn't to thrilled on buying a new monitor though. In fact I had been putting it off for well over 2 years now. They’re the second most expensive devices besides your ... read more

Pros: Very good color reproduction. Viewsonic quality.
Cons: Large footprint. A bit heavy. Wire marks on screen.
Summary: What turned me on to this monitor at first was the fact that my college roommate had the 21" version of this, and at the time, I was impressed with its size and picture clarity, as well as the fact that the screen was almost perfectly flat. So - when I ... read more

Pros: Good geometry, bright colors, high resolutions at good refresh rates
Cons: controls could be better
Summary: I got this monitor a year and a half ago for $440 dollars including shipping. At that time, I was looking for a monitor that balanced value and quality, and I must admit that I am very happy with my choice. I use PF790 at work, around 35-45 hours a week. ... read more

Cons: A little heavy, I weighted at my scale at 55 pounds
Summary: I recently bought a ViewSonic PF-790 as an upgrade to my old Princeton 17". I got a pretty good deal at a auction total pay for was $270!! I never own a ViewSonic monitor before so I wasn't quite sure how things would be. After researching on a few ... read more

Aperature Grille Pitch is 0.25 - 0.27 mm

Pros: OK price/performance if you get a good one
Cons: Geometry, blurry text at 1280x1024, 2nd tier components
Summary: I am a programmer and at work I have a 21' Hitachi running 1280x1024 @ 85Hz. We have several PF790 at work but, as I later figured out, they mostly run it at 1024x768 resolutions.
So I got one of these for home use to run at 1280x1024 @ ... read more

Pros: Flat, sharp, bright, clear, super adjustable.
Cons: Expensive(ish), has aperture grille lines.
Summary: I decided it was time to pitch the old 15" and move into the modern world, so I started looking around for something to replace my old college-budget monitor. After testing out and returning several different monitors, I ended up dragging this one ... read more

Pros: Great picture, easy to use
Cons: slight horizontal bow about 2'' from top and bottom
Summary: I just purchased my second ViewSonic monitor, a PF790. The monitor arrived in two days from by favorite DOT COM store. At $419.- with a twenty dollar rebate and a $23.- shipping charge, it was a steal. It was in excellent condition upon arrival so I ... read more

Pros: Good Colors, Clear Text, Easy Controls
Cons: Slight discoloration, 'whine' at resolution of 1024x768@85hz
Summary: This is an update to my previous review, which was mistakenly published in place of a Samsung monitor review and did not represent the Viewsonic product. I have had this monitor for over a year and it has performed to my expectations. The controls ... read more
