Review on Enhanced VA708A 1024P Monitor by ViewSonic by Rob Williams

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bug - Despite numerous attempts to fix the problem, all the text looks grainy and hard to read.

All text looks grainy and hard to read. (See photo.) I reinstalled the drivers, changed the resolution, changed the contrast and brightness, changed the ClearType settings, there is no result. I wrote to Viewsonic and sent screenshots with the text - First they denied there was a problem, then they said to send the monitor in for repair. I don't think it's a hardware issue because the videos and photos look perfect. However, it is possible - the box arrived very damaged, so maybe something "jammed" in the monitor, which controls the display of text. It could also be some strange compatibility issue with Windows 7. Luckily I had no trouble bringing it back to Revain. It's a shame, because otherwise the monitor makes a great impression. (Update: I just bought another similar monitor from a different manufacturer - it works great.)
