1 out of 5 stars Viewsonic doesn't live up.......2004-06-25

I directly compared my new Viewsonic P75F+B with my old NEC FE700+ and suprisingly found out my old NEC produced the sharper picture for text. The aperature grill design of the Viewsonic could not out-do the NEC.

I bought a budget Viewsonic model 5 years ago and was not satisfied. P75F+B is my 2nd Viewsonic monitor. I wanted to give a high end Viewsonic a try. On screen controls are good, but the Viewsonic P75F+B produces just an OK image, certainly not what I expected from their Pro series monitor. You can be sure that I will not buy a Viewsonic in the future, unless it sells for less than one dollar.

4 out of 5 stars VIEWSONIC P75F+ versus NEC FE791SB.......2004-02-14

This is for those people who cant decide between the NEC FE791SB 17'' CRT and the ViewSonic P75F+ 17'' CRT, I recently got both monitors and used them for several weeks using a VGA amplifier splitter, so i can see the same image on both monitors coming from the same PC at the same time to get the best comparison results.

In a nutshell, overall i'd say the NEC is the winner. Although both monitors are very good in different areas, the NEC wins it overall. Now ill go a little bit more indepth on the two monitors. Both use a trinitron aperture grille screen and have "extra" bright features which are very nice.

About the flatness of the screens. The NEC claims it has a virtually flat screen, while the ViewSonic claims it has a Perfect Flat screen. Well, guess what, neither of these two monitors have a 100% pure flat screen. The NEC screen curves in slightly at the edges, while the entire ViewSonic screen curves a little all over. Overall i'd say the NEC has a flatter screen, and does much better in this area.

About the brightness features, the NEC has three brightness presets (OFF, SuperBright 1 & 2, each preset can have different color, contrast, and monitor brightness settings, but still the same SuperBright technology in both presets with SuperBright). The ViewSonic has two brightness presets (OFF and UltraBrite feature ON, but nothing else, no color/contrast settings to go along with it). The NEC's extra presets and options to go along with it is extremely nice and makes the ViewSonic a lower class monitor. Both the UltraBrite and the SuperBright are basically the same in technology but slighty different. The NEC's SuperBright is mainly only good for watching movies or playing video games, turning it off when working in Windows is a good idea, cause when NEC SuperBright is turned on when working in windows, and a small part of the screen is white, it's very bright. However, if much of the screen is white the whites get dimmer and the darker areas get even darker, kinda anoying. That dont happen with the ViewSonic UltraBrite, so keeping the ViewSonic UltraBrite on in Windows is an allright idea. I kinda think that the NEC SuperBright Is a little bit more powerful (makes the screen even brighter) than the ViewSonic UltraBrite, i have not really decided if this is good or bad yet. But i'd be careful with turning the brightness/contrast up high with the NEC SuperBright, cause that can acutally hurt your eyes and make them strain, like it did mine, so turn the contrast/brightness down a bit when using the NEC SuperBright feature. Overall, the Brightness features are AWESOME for playing games! Nowadays, i would think that having an EXTRABright feature in trinitron aperture grille screens are a must have, cause they are dim without them.

About the anti-glare and anti-reflection. The NEC does slightly better in this area. You can see your reflection in the ViewSonic kinda easily. And you can see outside lights in the screen, this may be because the ViewSonic has a more curved screen than the NEC.

The NEC for some reason has a sharper screen, the pixels are sharper and clearer, this is one of the reasons why games look better on the NEC than the ViewSonic. Although reading text is easier on your eyes with the ViewSonic than the NEC. So, i'd say working in Windows and browsing the web is more comfortable with the ViewSonic than the NEC. The colors are also more vivid with the NEC. The NEC also has better contrast.

I'd say overall the ViewSonic is easier on your eyes than the NEC, you could really hurt your eyes with the NEC, cause the SuperBright feature maybe a little too bright, but this can be compensated by turning the contrast/brightness down a bit. I experienced less eye strain from the ViewSonic than the NEC. But having the contrast higher with the NEC does indeed make the picture so much more beautiful and brighter but at the cost of eye strain.

About the ON SCREEN CONTROLS. I belive this is one of the least important areas of judging a monitor. But anyway, both have slighty clumsy controls, although you can easily get used to them, i'd say the NEC did a better job in this area There are more color options with the NEC than the ViewSonic, for some reason they wont let you edit the GREEN color in the ViewSonic. When editing the controls with the NEC it gives you percentages which are more easy to remember than just a bar graph on the ViewSonic. You can more quickly tell what the refresh rate/resolution is with the NEC than the ViewSonic.

About the outside casing, Both are unique looking in their own ways, they both look good, but i think the NEC is a little more durable.

What the monitors are best for: The ViewSonic would be the better choice for someone who is only going to be working in windows and browsing the web and maybe playing a game any once in a while. The NEC is for someone who is looking for a gaming monitor, as this monitor is the bomb for playing games on it! Playing FPS games such as Counter-Strike is GREAT with this monitor! All games are fantastic with the NEC and it makes the ViewSonic look bad compared to it. So overall, the NEC is the winner!

1 out of 5 stars WARNING WARNING! WARNING ....RED LIGHT!!!!!!!! STOP!.......2004-01-07

These reviews are very misleading, I am very disappointed with this purchase!It makes me wonder if some of these "positive" reviews are nothing more then "company represenitives" who are trying to assume the role of a satisfied customer.

I have tried viewsonics products in the past, and all I can say is "OVERPRICED JUNK"! I bought this monitor new, and it has horizontal black lines on the screen, which are VERY distracting.

But the most awful thing though, is the distorted "BOW" image!

Believe me there is no monitor I couldn't fix in the past, And I have had many monitors in my life. But there is NO FIXING the bow in this monitor!

The effects from staring at the distorted picture - messes with your vision.

If you are a graphic/website designer, or you enjoy working with graphics and building websites, then this monitor is a double NO NO! Because the image is distorted and can not be fixed. It does NOT display an accurate picture!

Aside from the above mentioned "major" flaws, the monitor color quality is nothing to brag about either. Even if the monitor didn't have major distortions , it would have still been a let down, but atleast I wouldn't be returning it.

So my advice would be, save yourself some disappointment and try a different monitor.

Better yet, try a DIFFERENT BRAND!
As I have been searching the internet for help on fixing this bow problem, and MANY people claim: they have the same issues with viewsonic monitors!

Do a search for yourself before you buy a monitor!
I only wish I had .

I'm getting a refund! And I will never buy another viewsonic product again.

4 out of 5 stars Great Quality Monitor.......2003-12-24

When my original monitor broke, I was on the lookout for something that lived up to it. As a heavy gamer, I really needed something with excellent graphics, but I couldn't afford to get the best there was. Considering the price on this monior, it is truly a gem. The quality is superb and setup was a cinch. The on-screen menus take a little getting used to, but after awhile you get the hand of it.
The only drawback to this monitor is that during some games, a barely visable black line scrolls quickly down the screen. I'm sure there's a setting that I could alter to change it, but it never happened on my old monitor. Even if it is due to the monitor, it is hardly visable and has never interrupted what I'm doing.
It's a great value monitor for those who don't have a lot of money. It's truly wonderful.

5 out of 5 stars Great replacement.......2003-11-22

I replaced my viewsonic optiquest which was acting up with this one and i have to say its a great improvement, fits on my computer desk perfectly. Its very bright, clear, and crisp and the focus mode is perfect. I'm satified with my perchase except that the used monitor has some lines in it, its fine though i hardly even notice them.

The only thing about this monitor is the controls are kinda tricky to figure out, and the lack of any intructions, or drivers. Well i guess thats what i get when i buy a used $101 monitor, and i definately can't blame that on the monitor itself. So this monitor definately gets my 5 star vote.
