Viewsonic Monitor - The Price Is Right!

by tchoate Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 27 '01
Pros: Reasonably priced, great color and no glare
Cons: I haven't found any
We recently purchased a new computer and decided to look at monitors while we were at the store. We had a monitor at home that would work, it was a 15-inch monitor and I had wanted to upgrade to a 17-inch monitor since I spend so much time online. I...

Clear and Sharp~Plug & Play

by shellyr , Nov 05 '00
Pros: Very clear picture with great color
Cons: can't think of a one
We purchased the Viewsonic Monitor because when we were looking at Monitors it was very clear and sharp. We like the flat screen and the 17" with 16" viewable Diagonal. It took some time to figure out what the size difference is in compared...

Viewsonic....An Excellent Monitor

by Staceygill , Nov 28 '00
Pros: Excellent quality of pictures and colors, extremely easy to use.
Cons: None!
Last year, I decided to purchase a larger monitor. I spend way too much time online, and occasionally suffered from eye strain related headaches from using a small monitor. So, I decided it was time to go shopping. I found the Viewsonic monitor...

A flat out bargain

by Ahab1973 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 03 '00
Pros: Very reasonably priced, excellent quality, flat screen
Cons: Can be hard to reset if you start trying to adjust the factory picture settings
UPDATE December 4 2003 It's been interesting to look back at some of my first reviews here on Epinions and to see how much my writing has improved. I'm currently in the process of cleaning up and modifying my old reviews. If anyone ever ...

Awesome monitor, awesome price

by furball4 , Feb 19 '01
Pros: Vivid colors, simple controls, flat screen
Cons: Steadying wire shadows (standard Trinitron problem), slight geometry problems, geometry not static
The ViewSonic a75f is the nicest-looking 17in monitor I've seen. I was shopping for a monitor around the time that that the new Sony E200 came out, an FD Trinitron setup that was supposed to be the best. I compared the Sony and the ViewSonic...

A75f great, but not without flaws

by alanr01 , Apr 11 '00
Pros: Great image detail and color, low price
Cons: slight geometry problems at corners
For the price, I'd have to say that this is one heck of a monitor. As my title would suggest, it's not perfect, and someone doing very precise work might have problems. I'll talk about that later, but first...

Crisp, Bright, Brilliant Display...you can't go wrong with this choice!

by maryannyfanny , Jun 08 '02
Pros: Bright & Vibrant Colors. Crisp Text. Easy Control buttons, PRICE!! 3 year Update: still perfect!
Cons: Not as thin and light as an LCD. Takes up space.
I've had my flat screen (not a "flat panel") monitor for just over 2 years now, and it's still as good as new. I've yet to find something wrong with it. I always leave my computer screen on thru the nights with my screen saver playing. It's great for ...

Once you go flat screen . . .

by SAMIAM779 , Oct 04 '00
Pros: Having a flat screen is great!!!!
Cons: Two thin lines going across the screen, no big deal though
One reason I chose to buy this monitor was that it was relatively inexpensive for its brand and size, but I have to admit that the major draw for me was, of course, the perfectly flat screen. Yes, the promise of a virtually glare-free computing...

Viewsonic A75f Flat Screen Monitor

by rbrtdod , May 03 '03
Pros: Flat Screen at low cost
Cons: Software not accepted by Windows directly
I purchased the Viewsonic A75f on the recommendation of a store clerk at Comp USA after finding it there on sale for $200 (after rebate). The main reason for purchasing it was its flat screen. I work with graphics and have a 19 inch flat screen Sony...

Outstanding Flat Screen Monitor

by mikegmi2 , Jul 26 '00
Pros: flat screen, great color, not expensive
Cons: had to take one back to the store because of discoloration
I purchased this monitor about 6 months ago and I was very pleased with it. Going from a 15 inch to a 17 inch is a nice step up in the monitor world. I owned a 15 inch Viewsonic monitor before I bought htis one se as you can see I believe in this...

Flat is better!

by macrode , Nov 26 '00
Pros: Great image quality, good price
Cons: takes up a lot of desktop space
Although it's not a LCD flat panel screen, the picture quality is amazing because of the flat glass screen. It allows me to have a brighter lamp on my desk, the flat screen is anti glare. .25 mm dot pitch makes words easier to read on the screen, and...

Great BUY

by mtv203 , Oct 08 '00
Pros: great price, good image
Cons: takes more space than a flat panel display
Installation is extremly easy: Just take it out of the box and plug it in and it's ready to go. Most of the time, you don't even need to adjust the settings at all.

The flat screen makes images and text look clearer and easier to read. The...

Perfect for anybody.

by groman , Sep 01 '00
Pros: Perfect picture, flat, inexpensive
Cons: Two horizontal lines across the screen.
I purchased my ViewSonic A75f just over a week ago, and I found it better than I expected. The image is sharper than on any other 17" I have seen.
The frequencies on low resolutions are very good. Up to 110 on 800x600.

Pros: Awesome color, & clean display
Cons: Not flat screen like the newer models
I bought my P775 back in 1994, a time when I wanted to upgrade from my old Mag Innovision 17" that was 60lbs and the picture made my eyes strain. Once I received this monitor, I was awestricken by how the colors displayed were so vivid & made...

I just have to tell you how much I love this monitor.
After reading the other reviews I guess I'm not the only one that loves it. I bought the 17 inch model and it seems like 19 inches.

Major flaw - Dumb and stupid. Two horizontal lines on screen

by woodyjin , Sep 18 '00
Pros: Clean display, good price
Cons: Defect of two ghost horizontal lines
When I first saw this monitor in Best Buys, it looked great.
Since my NEC monitor failed, I decided to buy this monitor.
But when I took a close look at the display model,
I found a horizontal line
around a quarter from the top. At...

Poor Quality

by ke4iza , Jul 08 '01
Pros: Flat Screen, Clarity
Cons: Bad geometry
I have gone through 6 A75F monitors in the last week. Everyone had geometric distortion which the controls would not correct. I use Autocad and distortion is not an option. To start with the screen on several monitors bowed on the left and right...

In one word...Disappointed

by ctrlaltdel , Jun 19 '01
Pros: Appealing price when combined with $40 rebate
Cons: Geometry flaws that can't be adjusted correctly. Made in China.
The first A75f I purchased was unacceptable. The display was canted and distorted at both the top and bottom left corners. Distortion could be described as wavy borders.
Returned the monitor to CompUSA and they gave me another one. The next A75f...
