ViewSonic VP201s

The VP201s is aggressively priced for a 20-inch LCD, but the less-than-perfect display performance makes it less appealing than some of its 20-inch competitors.

ViewSonic VP201b

Very thin bezel; highly adjustable; sharp picture with excellent contrast; includes USB 2.0 hub; HDTV compatible.

The image quality, while good, isn't the best of its class.

This high-end LCD gets an A for design, features, and adjustability, but its image quality falls a smidge short for the price.

ViewSonic VP201b

Using 2 VP191b LCDS for 4 years now. Maintaining color is tough w/out an optical calibration tool. The Pink Grays can be made to go away by choosing User Color (max settings ea. Channel, or = Lower) INSTEAD of 6500K. It seems their 6500 profile is a...

"Color quality suffers"

I've had problems with this monitor using graphics editors. Hard to replicate accurate colors as mentioned in the above articles.

Design and height adjustments are good

Color mismatches and bad presentation of greyscale level color

replacement works perfectly

The manufacturer couldn't repair this model (failed back light is my guess)during the summer and sent a brand new one to replace the vp201b. I would recommend the warranty that Viewsonic offers to quick loan you one while the other one is being...

Some boot difficulties

This is the finest LCD monitor I have ever had for visual quality. But it has a quirk I haven't yet figured out. The first one simply wouldn't produce an image after four reboots of my machine. I RMA'd it and NewEgg had a new one at my door within...
