rmocko04's Full Review: ViewSonic Optiquest Q51 (15 in.) CRT Conventional ...
Purchased this monitor for its price and awards it had won from various magazines.
It is a good monitor for daily use: I commonly see it at media centers/computer labs. It has some nifty options, but gave me trouble since day one.
At 1024x768 resolution, the monitor can display up to 72 hertz. I, personally, can not stand anything below 60 hrz. So, I set the refresh rate to 72 hertz. It seemed fine, but then I noticed some fuzziness at the bottom of the screen.
To conclude my problem, basically the monitor will become fuzzy (especially during a white screen) when the monitor is set at 1024x768 resolution with 70+ refresh rate. It's perfectly fine at 800x600 though...
