Svenne writes "Ok, TrustedReviews have put up a review of the amazing ViewSonic VP2290b TFT display which has a massive 9.2Mpixel resolution. Check it out here. I'll take two ;-)" Pricewatch lists vendors selling this monitor starting at a bit more than $6,000 -- video card is extra.

    Their reputation precedes and urinates on any product that they create. If you have a Viewsonic monitor you know of what I speak.

    They are cheap, flimsy, dim, hard to calibrate, and go out quickly.

    I know if I was spending six grand on something, it wouldn't have Viewsonic's name on it.

  2. "Optimal resolution" != Native resolution.... by GuyFawkes · · Score: 0, Troll


    the manuf blurb talks a lot about "optimal" resolution and makes ZERO mention of native (true) resolution, as such I'm guessing this is a 1920 x 1200 TFT with on board GFX card (same as proper industrial kit) that takes the input RGB and translates it into the TFT specific driver signal.. see ginsbury.co.uk etc) so in other words... marketing bullshit.
