or

I have the G90FB at the moment.

The things you'll like and not like about this monitor are:

Good:

Refresh Rates, this thing can operate at very high resolutions while maintaining a high refresh rate round' like 85-100.

Looks: It's black and has flat screen/anti glare feature. Always a plus if you're in a heavy lit room.

Color: Brilliant display of colors, don't know the exact number but everything I've seen projected thus far is awesome.

Bad:

It weighs alot (duh CRT) but this is exceptionally high for a 18' monitor.

Depth: This thing is very long, you'll need about at least a foot and a quarter to fit on your desk.

Artifacts: In Hl2/BF2 i've noticed artifacts in the AA/AF, like you'll see very little dots , it's not my GFX bc I used an LCD and I couldn't see them on there. Also I plugged this into my other computer and it does the exact same thing. (played using 1024x768 @ 85H 32bit)

Positioning: It's a royal pain in the ass to position everything on the screen. Till this day I can't get everything properly alligned, there's too many options.

Overall:

If you have the room, can configure well, get this monitor.

I Think I know the little dots you are talking about.Its not the monitor that does this...thats the way its supposed to look like.Ive played hl2/bf2 on many different monitors/systems and the same part of certain maps have that detail you are talking about.

Thank you for the review of that Viewsonic its probably whatim going to get
