Amazon.com Review: The days of traditional CRT monitors are numbered. Flat panel displays are slim and lightweight, and some can provide a sharper picture and more dynamic colors than their bulky CRT brethren. Though they're still a few years off from becoming mainstream, it's not too early to jump on the LCD bandwagon. The ViewSonic VP150 is one reason why the traditional CRT monitors' time is up--not only is the display quality unmatched, the unit is also eminently affordable.
With a screen size (15 inches) comparable to a 17-inch monitor, the Viewsonic VP150 provides ample screen real estate while taking up precious little desk space. Measuring 15.3 x 15.4 x 7.1 inches and weighing in at a mere 15 pounds, this lithe flat panel can easily fit on any narrow desktop.
The VP150's native resolution looks best at 1,024 x 768, though it supports a variety of lower resolutions and refresh rates. The contrast ratio is extremely high, as is the brightness, bringing out the color in even the most poorly lit rooms. Picture quality is immaculate and keeps up with the highest-quality DVD movies and fast-paced games. As is typical with most flat-panel displays, quality suffers when you drop the VP150 below its native resolution. Fonts become a little fuzzy and images a little stilted. Though the calibration controls correct the quality somewhat, we found the images to be slightly less than perfect.
Other than the low-resolution quality issue, there was nothing about the VP-150 that we disliked. It offers a sharp picture, excellent picture controls, and a display size that'll make your CRT display seem like a bloated space hog. We think the VP-150 is one of the best flat panel displays on the market. --Dan Simpson

I had heard many good things about flatpanel monitors and my eyes get tired after long hours in front of my old monitor. since prices have come down in the past few months I decided to splurge and take my co-worker's advice. Glad I did! There is no going back to a regular monitor again. This Viewsonic model I found to have the clearest picture and much better color representation than the other brands. It's unbelievable how sharp this unit is. I saw it at a local store (Compusa I think it was) and it looked great there, it's even better sitting on my desk at home. I can't say enough good things about this monitor. The clarity and everything is fabulous! I could sit in front of the VP150 all day long and not feel any eye strain. Even works great with some games I like to play.
