Important : 19 inch Viewsonic Widescreen Monitor

Im planning to buy this, is it any good? i cant seem to find a good review on the internet..but i did find that some of the viewsonic tfts did show problems
i wonder if its true..

its comming at a price of 9500/- and i dont want to go in for a samsung which is 11000/-

Is it a worthy buy? considering that its just been launched into the market?

Also are widescreen monitors good for gaming? or traditional ones?
i keep the pc on for at least 12-14 hrs daily..does that have a burnout effect on the TFT Life? because CRTs are more sturdy and long lasting.

i'm using a Viewsonic 1912wb for bout a month or 2 and didnt face any probs.pic quality is gr8 in games,movies etc.and i use my pc for bout 14 hrs a day.

well tht mean shud i stuck with my 17' inch Samsung CRT.......coz i was also plannin' to change my Monitor to LCD.....

I would Suggest i case of View Sonic try going with the vx Seriese...

vx1932wm is Rs. 10050/- + TAX kolkata (4%)

and @Harvik780

Those days are over... !!!! LCD/TFT nowdays are comming with better Response time so really those donimation of CRTs now comming to end...

I used vg1930wm from View Sonic... really i felt its giving better picture than LG or SAMSUNG 17" CRT displays...

I played GAME / Watched HD upto 1080p moviews... !!!! no problem...

^^^

Sorry yes typos... Edited... thanks for point out

^^^ from where did ya get HD content and wat was it?i know its available 4 dl on the net but the size r > 20GB for movies.

There are Game Developers and Movie Studios who are proving Game Demo Videos and Moview Trailers in HD format... Google and find your self few !!!

Even i absolutely have no Problem with my Samsung LCD.
No Ghosting in gaming, no problem with HDDVD contents.

You easily get 1080P Movies in less than 10GB.
And 720P are available at around 4Gb .Thats almost a standard DVD file size.

Yeaa totally agree gone r the days when CRT were much superior to LCD's while gaming etc,LCD now a days have vry gud response time with 5ms,2ms!getting a new CRT at this time is not at all recommended,get urself a Viewsonic 1930wm its a pretty decent monitor!

wide screens have problem with older games that don't support wide screen resolusion. u have to use standard resolution only which makes the picture to strech horizontally.

i agree .. if u want to go for Viewsonic go for VX1932wm.. has a 2ms response time compared to 5ms of the others.. and also a 800:1 static contrast ratio (dynamic is 2000:1) while others have 700:1 static..

+1 to that
Amazing picture quality
DVI-D , integrated stereo speakers means I can watch tv using an external tv tuner without actually turning on the comp or adding extra speakers to that

Beautiful piano black design and agbsolutely fast response time !
GR8 monitor

^^^ dont depend too much on those spkrs.they r just there 4 the sake of it.

Which is best of removed. Go for a lcd. Happy with my viewsonic

exactly !
One thing you should keep in mind if you decide to buy this one..do buy a 3pin power cable coz the cable that coms with it has flat headers used in us.So you need to buy one cable or an adapter.
