ViewSonic Optiquest Q95 19 inch CRT Monitor

Pros: cheap and clear
Cons: a little dark

Wooooaaaahhh a 19 inch monitor! Fire-up the video games! Who needs to study?

After selecting the parts for my new computer it only became a decision of what 19" monitor to purchase. The $250 price tags of the "generic" CompUSA...

Pros: Great colors, light, not too oversized, excellent refresh capabilities, GREAT PRICE
Cons: Geometry needs slight adjustments, 'Optiquest' name isn't very impressive to some

No matter what your budget is, if you have a smallest than 19" monitor [unless you're SEVERELY limited with desktop space], you're missing out on the technology game.

The Viewsonic made Optiquest Q95 is a 19" monitor [about 18"...

Pros: Great Image Quality, Low Price
Cons: As with any larger monitor, may have space problems

In all my time of building and working with my own computers, I have never once bought a monitor larger than 14". I felt it was time to do something about that and bring myself into the the light.

With a price range of $450.00, I started...

Pros: Price, Size, Dependability
Cons: There is better out there if you are willing to pay more.

As a novice PC hobbyist on a budget I'm always searching for good deals. When I was ready to move on to a bigger monitor from my older 17" I searched some of the internet sites to see what was currently being offered. I was drawn to the Q95. The...

Pros: Great color and text! Ease of setup and use! What a bargain!
Cons: Exterior esthetics is plain-jane.

I was in the market for upgrading my Optiquest V773 17" monitor for quite some time now. Since 21" monitors are not worth the $$$ right now, I wanted to settle for a decent, quality 19". Mind to tell you that I am NOT on a budget and I...

Pros: Price, 19"
Cons: Highly variable quality, poor warranty replacement process

I purchased an Optiquest Q95 in March 2001. In June it simply failed to come on any more. I returned it to Viewsonic and received a replacment monitor which had refresh problems. That monitor was in turn replaced by Viewsonics warranty department with...

Pros: lots of work space, good colour, solid piece of hardware
Cons: it's enormously heavy; it interferes with the signal to my little 13" tv

i went from a 15" / 13" viewable no-name brand monitor to this 19" beaut about a month and a half ago. i'd been looking around for a new monitor for awhile, doing lots of research and trying to find the lowest price (as though i would look...

Pros: Low dot pitch, price
Cons: Single settings, size

I built a computer system, a lot of it through recommendations through arstechnica.com. I paid $320 after shipping and got this monitor from gogocity.com. With a 0.23mm dot pitch, you can have this in maximum resolution and still read it if you stick...

Pros: 19". Great color and overall image quality. Sharp picture with good contrast. Very cheap.
Cons: Ok styling.

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...

Pros: Cheap for a 19 inch monitor
Cons: Not acceptable for professional use

The Optiquest Q95 is a bargain in anyone's book. It is one of the cheapest and most reliable monitors out, with a pitch that supposedly outshines the competition. It is compatible with multiple operating systems and will provide decent quality. I would...

Pros: Excellent value, simple, easy to use,
Cons: !!!TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM VIEWSONIC!!!, 1st one arrived defective...

For the price (I found mine for $250 incl. shipping from Onvia) its an excellent value. However, mine arrived slightly defective and required an exchange. Viewsonic's tech support was easy enough (on Sunday even) to reach and quickly determined it needed...
