Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this monitor as a second monitor for my MacBook Pro. First, the DVI does not work at all with the DVI output on my laptop. I am using the DVI/Serial converter that came with my MacBook. The color seems washed out, no matter what adjustments I use. Oddly, if I tip the monitor up, so it is at a 45 degree angle to the ceiling, the colors are brilliant and the contrast is crisp. I have been around and around on the ViewSonic website trying to find out more information about this, but have not found much. There was nothing to indicate that it is not Mac compatible (it comes with Mac drivers on the CD, along with Windows, but only Windows drivers are available for download on ViewSonic's website). The colors seem washed and I'm sad I can't get the DVI to work. Also, this monitor is bigger than my MacBook Pro monitor, so I was hoping to have the same resolution on a larger screen. Instead, the same resolution only displays larger on the ViewSonic monitor.
Needless to say, it is adequate, but I am disappointed, especially given the reviews. Granted, it was not an expensive monitor, so maybe my expectations were not realistic. Just be careful with what you intend use the monitor for, that's all.
