Customer Reviews

Use at work/Use at home
I use the 19" ViewSonic at work, where we have 15 in use at this time and have been in service for 2yrs. No problems with any of the monitors and performance is excellent. Now I have the ViewSonic VA1703wb 17" Wide LCD Computer Monitor at home for my personal computer and I am completely satisfied.

Great LCD Monior Deal
This is a great quality little monitor. I was worried whether it would be big enough at 17 inches, but it's actually the perfect size. ViewSonic makes great stuff - my other home monitor is a 17-inch CRT that's about 8 years old, and the picture is like brand-new. I use ViewSonic 19-inch and 15-inch LCDs for editing in my studio, and they are superb. So I trust the ViewSonic name. I needed a new monitor to fit into a small space downstairs, and this was perfect. Detail is good, color is good, though I expected a little more contrast. That seems to be getting better as it gets more use. I'm really happy with the purchase. A freind of mine got an off-brand for a little less money, but the picture and clarity aren't nearly as good. I say go for the quality, as this will be something you live with for years.
