viewsonic pf790

[kendogg]

i am looking to buy a new monitor and i saw this viewsonic at onvia for about 384$ after coupon and rebate. How is this monitor? http://www.viewsonic.com/prod/mon.htm

it says it has a 27 dot pitch in the corners? hmm doesnt sound too great. what do u guys think? And can u give me some suggestions on any other 19" monitors?

also i was wondering about http://www.viewsonic.com/prod/mon.htm viewsonic gs790 it has a fairly low dot pitch but im wondering if its a perfect flat screen? has anyone been to the viewsonic website and looked at specs on any monitor? some state perfect flat screen some do not. So if they dont mention perfect flat should i assume that its not a flat screen? like this gs790 model?

Well neways at onvias site you are allowed to post up product reviews.. and people were complaining about unclear text and the monitor not being totally flat etc etc .... from what you see is the monitor totally flat????? here check this out http://www.onvia.com/AA/products/index.cfm?Task=ViewProduct&SearchText=viewsonic%2520pf790&IdCatalog=2379861

I have a Viewsonic PF-790 (purchased back in February from OnVia). It rocks. I am 150% satisfied with it. You won't be disappointed.

I got the pf790 too from buy.com though. got it for 400 when it just came out. It is a pretty nice monitor. Lately thought i noticed that the top left corner flickers a little. I dunno what is up maybe it is some of the devices near it. Anyone know anything about that? I got my computer tower, MS DS80 speakers and dsl external modem to its left.

 

[lilstevo]

well when i first got it it didn't flicker i think. It just started recently.

Of course everytime i plan on buying a monitor I just always miss a rebate deadline, hahahaha.

 

[lilstevo]

well me it is the other way around. I always like buy it just before the rebate starts.

Hahaha, greaaat.

I have the PF790. Its really good value for money if you bought it from Onvia.

lilstevo, if you have a magnetic or power source too close to your monitor it can cause some distortion. If you degausse it, move the magnetic/power source and still have the problem, you may have a bad tube. I have speakers right next to my monitor w/o a problem, but if I get a second monitor too close there's an immediate reaction.
