VA705B by BeneDee "Wine Country Joe" on amazon.com Mar 19, 2012

I needed a larger monitor, and I didn't need a widescreen. I had ViewSonic in a CRT model and I liked the resolution and vivid colors. I received the monitor in a matter of days and setup was easy. I am not disappointed. Resolution and colors are ...

very good basic monitor by MsMartha on bhphotovideo.com Jan 3, 2011

I got this as a second monitor for a small desk space - don't have the room to add another widescreen, but wanted to be able to stash documents and windows of stuff out of my main workspace (Adobe Premiere, Soundbooth, and AfterEffects, mostly). I've ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: ViewSonic VA705B 17-Inch LCD Monitor

I bought one almost two years ago for my eeePC (it's now on a desktop system), and recently I bought two more to use on a dual-head Linux system...Overall, I'd not hesitate to recommend these to someone else...They work well and have a very good price from a big-name company who makes pretty much only monitors and will almost definitely be around tomorrow to honor the warranty, unlike some of the no-name companies who sell cheaper displays and also make refrigerators, cell phones, and dvd players...
