Product Details of ViewSonic VG181 18.1" LCD Monitor
Description
With its full, dynamic 18.1" viewable screen, you can be assured the ViewSonic VG181 flat panel display will provide years of trouble-free operation. Its slim 3" depth takes up a mere fraction of the desk space. As an added feature, this display was designed to be wall mountable. And with OptiSync technology, the VG181 LCD display incorporates both analog and digital inputs for today's new digital requirements. Displaying a native resolution of 1280x1024 at 60Hz refresh rate and a wide 160-degree viewing angle, you will consistently have crisp, rich colors.
Strengths: Bright, clear display. Ability to rotate screen to portrait or landscape views. Analog and DVI inputs.
Weakness: I can't really think of any.
While my model number and this one are identical, I see no mention of the pivot capabilities that mine has. I find this very useful for web pages (viewing AND editing) and for viewing documents in full size and orientation. While the native mode is 1280x1024 and 75hz refresh, it looks almost as good as my flat panel iMac, I find it works very well in 1600x1200 65hz refresh. Regarding the bad...
Weakness: bad pixel policy. I had a bad pixel (light) at center screen, 1/3 way down (natural focus point) and company will not support unless a certain number of pixels are bad.
The monitor is great and I like the ability to view other sources on it. The bad pixel is maddening, though, after I spent $2000 on this monitor. The company had no desire to help me rectify the problem and the place of purchase wouldn't take the monitor back after 30 days. Oh well.
