5 out of 5 stars Bright and Crisp - What a Great Space-Saver Too !!.......2002-12-01

This VG800 LCD display is one sharp looking unit. It certainly has exceeded my expectations. This display is BRIGHT and has excellent contrast. Once I set it up, and tuned all of the parameters with the easy-to-follow instructions (twice-just to make sure), it has performed perfectly. I have not noticed any video response problems viewing video clips, DVD movies, and even streaming video over the web displays just fine.

I have used this product for over two months now, and am completely satisfied. I use spreadsheets, word processing, powerpoint, digital image viewing and editing, financial programs, lots of web surfing, some 3D gaming and writing reviews for products on AMAZON.COM :>) and it is just great.

The only performance drawback I have found is the rather useless and weak speakers. Just don't use them! Also, if you let the ViewSonice control panel run in the background (as it wants to do), it does have an annoying habit of always wanting to connect to the internet to "make adjustments" or some such nonsense. I just removed that program from the Windows(R) startup file and it still works just fine. If I need to fine tune, I can just start the ViewSonic control panel from the programs list. Easy enough, even for me.

All I can say is, I'm very happy with my VG800 and am going to get another one for my work computer as well. It also saves a lot of space on the desk and helps reduce that clutter - no big, bulky monitor hogging half the space on my desk. It is rather a lot of cash for a "monitor", but is well worth the price, from my experience. Check out the technical specifications and industry recomendations, make your own judgement and decision.

3 out of 5 stars Looks nicer than a CRT, but . . ........2002-11-24

This a stunning-looking new toy -- nice, big, bright and shiny -- but I would caution anyone currently using a CRT that motion is not well displayed on this unit. Video clips at the tiny size currently on the web appear grainy and fuzzy. Even panning up and down on certain websites produces flickering results. The LCD just doesn't keep up with the motion. Also on many still images you'll see moire patterns...
