Pros: 19". Great color and overall image quality. Sharp picture with good contrast. Very cheap.
Cons: Ok styling.
The Bottom Line: Buy this monitor if you want great image quality and don't need extras like built in speakers or USB connectors. The picture quality and price are awesome.

| rdytorave's Full Review: ViewSonic Optiquest Q95 19 inch CRT Monitor |
I love and hate this monitor. It looks about 5 years old although it's only 1. It's bulky and heavy. The picture quality is fantastic and it's way better than my old 17" Gateway monitor. I also got it for very cheap. $140 on Ebay with shipping from Dealtree.com . It beats my old 17" Gateway hands down for picture quality and screen size. The colors stand out bright and clear. Images are sharp and in focus. The price was a bonanza too. The controls are a little tricky to use at first. I would buy this product again just for it's great picture. Moving from 17" to 19" does make a noticeable difference. Many new monitors these days come with stuff like built in speakers or USB ports. What's the point of that? I buy a monitor so I can see images from my computer. Anything else is just a side-dish to the main meal. The monitor does take up more space than my 17" did on my desk, but it's worh it. While it's not a flashy flat-screen monitor with a bunch of bells and whistles, it does it's job and does it well. I highly recommend it. There is also a short review on www.pcworld.com about it.
