ViewSonic P810 21" CRT Monitor Reviews
I bought this monitor in the late 1990's, primarily for print design. LCD monitors may be the rage but I am tempted to stick with what works, especially for graphics applications. Since then I have used it for motion graphics and 3d modeling/animation. Oh, and the picture/color/resolution is top notch. It is just now starting to show it's age (time to get a new one). Most monitors last 3-4 years but this one lasted almost nine years.
I'm using a Voodoo 3 3000 AGP video card (16MB high-speed SDRAM AGP 2x). The necessary cables are included for PC and Mac connections. Understand that this monitor connects using the "traditional" graphics cable (included/attached). The on-screen controls are a great help also.I love this monitor - and haven't had any problems whatsoever in the 8 months since I purchased it. If you get the P817 which has the USB hub there is a cable included which connects the hub to your USB port on the back of your computer.I'm so much more productive with this 21-inch screen since I can see more info on the screen at once.
This huge monitor is superb if you have room for it. I actually have the version which has a USB hub built-in (model P817).To get the best results from this monitor, certainly use an advanced (latest/greatest) video card. and there are even mightier cards on the market now.The USB ports on the side of the monitor are extremely convenient. And the resolution is great, with a high refresh-rate which is greater on the eyes. There are four ports, which are a lot easier to access than the ports on the back of the computer.
the viewsonic csr told me that this model is the only one that has shipped for the past year, so trust viewsonic's specs and not the ones listed here. i checked out viewsonic's website and the specs there reflect the latest model. the most notable difference is that the max resolution is now 1800x1440.
