Pros: Picture quality and resolution
Cons: Front screen controls obscure

After using numerous monitors in both a working and at home environment, the Viewsonic line appears much of a quality piece with one or two exceptions. Specifically the G810 we ordered arrived with the screen out of focus, necessitating a return. Now...

Pros: Great picture, High resolution!

Pros: Great viewable area, reliable
Cons: Heavy, and pricey

Upgrading from a 17" monitor to a 21" monitor is a wonderful thing. It can be hard on the wallet though. I upgraded to a 21" ViewSonic G810 from a 17" ViewSonic, mostly for the increase in screen size. I loved my ViewSonic...

Pros: Big
Cons: Poor text display

Very nice monitor for graphic-related stuff. Games look awesome (hey, it's bigger than my TV). Colors are fine, contrasts good.

Unfortunately, 90% of my time is spent programming. And that's where things get worse. Refresh rate is unacceptable...

Pros: Size
Cons: Resolution

I jumped froma samsung 17" syncmaster crt to this monitor, and i have a big problem reading the text, even with the 1024x768 res. when i use the 1600x1400 res i hardly can see the letters (im 20/20). I think the problem is not the size, but the res, so i dont know if this is normal in a monitor this big. I do love the size, not the weight.

Pros: Huge Screen, Good Resolution, Crisp corners and lines. Definitely get what you pay for.
Cons: Heavy almost 60 pounds, Takes up a lot of desk space.

Monitor has been a joy to own,I have had no issues, has clear, crisp images. This monitor is great for games, and is really good for CAD work.
