I've used flatscreen monitors on my Dell laptop and use a Dell LCD at work. I'm using it at home, replacing a 17" CRT. This monitor is far superior to all these. More vivid colors and as expected a larger actual image compared to the CRT. The viewing angle is much better than the other LCD's I've used. I can view the screen from 45 degrees to the side with minimal loss of image color or clarity. On my laptop, moving just 25-30 degrees to the side and the image is mostly black. Some reviews have suggested a potential downside is that the height of the stand is not adjustable. However, on my standard computer desk, the height is nearly perfect, and the monitor does tilt through a sufficently broad range in case the desk surface were too low or even tilting down if it were too high. I'm very pleased with the Viewsonic VX715. Read more

I've been researching and looking at 17" LCD monitors for a month, looking to upgrade from my puny, no-name 15". I'm quite pleased with this little gem. Very easy setup. No dead pixels. I found the adjustment controls much more user-friendly and intuitive than several monitors that were more expensive and didn't necessarily have better picture quality. The white is blindingly true white, not dingy or yellow or washed out, as on many monitors I looked at. Text is crisp and clear, something that's important to me. Colors are rich and vibrant. I feel that the stand is sturdy and stable, and it's the right height for me - not the highest, but definitely higher than some others I'd looked at. And I got it on a one-day only sale price that saved me $50! It doesn't get better than that. Read more

I received this monitor for Christmas and I have to say this is the best LCD I have ever seen. It's picture is so crisp and clear, with very brilliant colors. I compared this one in the store with 5 other brands and they don't even come close to the quality of this one. The stand is sturdy, and there are no dead pixels. ViewSonic is the best. Read more

This monitor is clear, crisp, bright, and looks great on my desk... I like the base that allows the monitor to "float" over the desk, optimizing desk space. A great monitor! Read more
