| Jmlsammy's Full Review: ViewSonic VX500 15 inch LCD Monitor |
Why did I buy this monitor
I bought this monitor primarily because it saves a whole lot of space on my desk. Finally, I can have my monitor and keyboard directly in front of me on my shallow desk and I don't have to use one of those keyboard trays anymore. I chose this particular monitor because of it's UltraBrite technology, DVI interface and its sleek, cool look.

-The Monitor
-ViewSonic Wizard CD w/ Color Calibration Card
-TCO '99 Approved Statement
-VGA to VGA Video Cable

-550:1 Contrast Ratio
-1024x768 Resolution
-Touch Sensitive Digital Controls

How does it perform?
This display is a huge improvement over any typical regular CRT monitor. The response time is good enough to play fast-paced games as well as use typical business applications. When using the DVI interface, the monitor automatically adjusts the picture to fit the screen and it works fantastic! The touch-sensitive controls work well and are easy to use. With WindowsXP's ClearType turned on, text appears very smooth and crisp. The monitor also allows two computers to be hooked up at the same time with one using VGA and one using DVI. This works great as well. I have yet to have a single pixel go bad.
My Recommendation
This monitor has been wonderful to use for any application. It looks cool, performs great, and saves a lot of space. Even though it will set you back a few bucks, it's definitely worth it.
