I ordered 2 of this primarily due to the glowing Amazon reviews. I also have 2 newly purchased BenQ EW2420's, which was convenient for a side by side comparison.First off, what most of the reviewers are saying about this monitor is generally true. The stock stand is pretty awesome for any monitor. It raises, tilts, and rotates. Has pretty good construction quality, and the nicest thing is that it uses standard VESA mounts, unlike most stock stands. This means A. the monitor actually has VESA mounts (which is getting increasingly rare), and B. You could use these stands on any monitor with VESA mounts.As far as the general picture quality of this monitor, it's really good... for a TN LED panel. I point that out because they were head to head with my new Ben Q's, which are VA panels. (my first experience with VA). Backlight uniformity was generally good on the Viewsonics, but just like all TN LCD's, they weren't quite up to snuff in black levels, which translates to better color reproduction. I calibrated both the BenQ and Viewsonic using a Spyder 3. I was a little upset that this monitor didn't have more manual controls, but I was able to calibrate both to the point where the colors looked almost identical. I opened up a bunch of RAW photo files, and even did some work in Photoshop. It's interesting to see how the Viewsonic shows banding in subtle gradients whereas the Ben Q smooths it out noticably better.On a different note, I happened to get these a week after Battlefield 3 released, so I was able to test them out with fast paced gaming. I was pretty horrified to see really pronounced ghosting/ screen tearing on the Viewsonic. Not going to pick on it too much for this since a super fast response time and good gaming performance is not it's deal, but it's worth noting. Not a very good gaming monitor at all.Very odd as well, to have a monitor nowadays with speakers, but no HDMI. Thought that was a little weird.Overall, it's a really good monitor for what it is. I can totally see why it gets so many glowin reviews, but I think it's overpriced. After actually using it person, I can confidently say that it's a 200 dollar monitor with a 70 dollar stand. That's what you're paying for. I'm not really sure this offers all that much more then a solid 180 dollar monitor, like a cheap TN LED Asus.

I needed a new monitor for my MacBook Pro and was definitely not going to drop $1,000 for Apple's 27" display. What a rip.I was surprised to discover how little monitor support there seems to be for Apple products. Tried out a Samsung PX2370 first and was very unhappy with the way text was rendered on the screen. Called Samsung--they said they didn't support Macs. Same with HP support.The Viewsonic seemed to be the only monitor that mentioned Macs in their tech specs. The display is MUCH better at rendering text; basically the same as the Apple Display that I am replacing. I'm very happy with the quality.One small thing that I noticed with this display; it seems to take a little bit longer to wake up from sleep than a Apple display. Not sure what's up with that, but...no big deal.The speakers are lousy, but odds are you're not buying the monitor for the speakers.Make sure you use Apple's built-in Calibrate function in the Displays preferences panel. Makes a big difference.

I was worried at first, because after a week, a single pixel became stuck (as a constant red dot), but a careful flick at it with my finger caused it to flicker briefly, and then go out. It returned one more time, so I did the same thing. It hasn't returned since, and that was about a month ago. Everything else about the monitor is as advertised. Beautiful picture. I love using the pivot, which allows me to view large vertical pictures in portrait view.
