Damn I was looking forward to the Sony but they've changed the lineup a bit now. At least the Viewsonic will have DVI but I doubt the image will be as good as a Sony though...

The sony monitor I got didn't have a DVI output.

Yeah, I know. I meant to say that although it's not a Sony, it has DVI going for it.

BOOOOOO to Gratis on getting rid of the Sony 19" (
hehehhehe

I checked out some reviews, and although Viewsonic doesn't quite have the same brand clout as Sony, this model has good reviews. Too bad they didn't go for the Sony S94/B model (they use to list this but ship the S93/B)... they're not priced that differently.

I love my 93/B and my girlfriend was trying to get one of her own, but now that Gratis has pulled the plug on that model she doesn't know what to get. I don't have good experiences with LG or Viewsonic (personally, I think they're both bullshit models and that Gratis should go back to the Sony).
I told her to submit a support ticket and ask them if she can somehow still get the Sony once she's done...I told her not to expect much though.
hehehhehe

I agree with you about these brands. I see Viewsonic as one of those brands like MAG, they're often the cheapest. This model has a 3 year warranty but I don't know about its image quality.
Let me know what your girlfriend finds out.

They're crap. When I was in highschool the school would buy Viewsonic in major bulk for it's lab computer monitors because they are dirt cheap.
I'll keep you posted on what she finds out...maybe we should ask Jake what's up...

now that i think about it... the site is 8 referrals, and you can get a 19 inch flatscreen for 250 bucks.. a samsung one... so i dont think it is worth it to do that site

Bingo...cheaper models = even more money in Gratis' pockets evil
hehehhehe

Not at all - my friend has an excellent 21'' viewsonic and its amazing to watch...
I mean within reasonable purchase, those apple cinema displays are godly and anything with hi def output is out of viewsonic's class but for normal monitors, i consider them exellent

Yeah...Viewsonic is utilitarian...it's strictly for getting the job done.
A newspaper is utilitarian for wiping your ass, but if you had the option of Charmin, wouldn't you agree that it's the better bet? twisted

I have to agree...I just did a trade in which now I was looking at that site. I think I would go w/ LG myself just based on what I have seen out there. No real specifics to speak of, but it just seems like I've seen more LG. Anyway even if I do finish it I won't be replacing my 17" Dell Ultra Sharp....The picture is great and the USB hub makes it worth the sacrifice of 2 inches.....

Viewsonic is one of the better brands when it comes to LCDs. Sony never was any beter than just OK. It was replaced by two 19 LCDs that are much nicer. I still would have gone with the 17 inch Samsung TV I chose.

those apple cinema displays are just LG panels inside a pretty apple-stylized case and an $800 - $3000 pricetag.
