ViewSonic P225FB-5 Flat 22" CRT Monitor Reviews
The lower corner had a bright green patch of color. Third and final month I wake up and turn on the monitor to see a bright red patch of color in one corner. I bought this monitor from an online retailer about 3 months ago. As they seem to have quality issues. I had a bright blue screen plus a red patch in one corner and a green patch in another. I turned it off. Then I tried the p220 again and now it got worst. I will never buy viewsonic again useless they show that they have corrected there flaws in this monitor and higher grade monitors.
Second month started to notice every once in a while the monitor would flicker in certain parts of screen. Checked my video card with a different monitor and it was fine. Nope still there. and waited 30 mins. First month went well and I loved the richness of color and the controls and features it offered.
It is going back too. Its replacement is currently having problems too. I have had great success with Viewsonic in the past. I'm going to try a Cornerstone P1750 next. I had the factory replace it and the 2nd one came with 2 very dark bands running vertical through the screen about 3-inches wide each. I replaced it with a Viewsonic P225F-5 that came with 1/2 of the screen very blurry. My Mitsubishi 91TXM finally died after 6 good years of service. However, last September I purchased a G810 that came DOA.
Recently I needed another monitor and didn't think twice about buying P225FB, but I bought version -5 this time. I also noticed that on version -5 it now says that it is made in China. After I tried two units of P225FB-5, I decided to try Cornerstone P1750.
Graphics is not bad, but text in high-res modes (1600x1200) is not readable. Don't buy P225FB-5 poor quality assembly and plenty of engineering defects. Note that these monitors come in different versions.
Not only it has different layout of both front and back panels, which I have no objection to, but the image is also of considerably lower quality. It is different. That monitor works flawlessly with both text and graphics.
I am a happy user of P225FB-4 monitor that is made in Taiwan. On top of that it can do over 100Hz refresh rates at 1600x1200 resolution, unlike ViewSonic.The bottom line is if you can get P225FB-4 it is excellent.
The only drawback is its incredible weight, and lack of handles, making it extremely un-portable. It is much bulkier than a standard 17 in. I had to upgrade my video card to 256K to match the monitor's high-resolution capabilities. I highly recommend this monitor. CRT. I accidently "crash tested" it when it fell off the back of my truck at 65 m.p.h., and it suffered no ill effects. I use it mainly for gaming. Not something to bring to LAN parties.
