This monitor has actually inspired me to play these games more often.Since this monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024 (far higher than I previously used), I was concerned that my games would run poorly at this resolution, or that the image quality would suffer if I lowered the resolution. As it turns out, I was right! There is NO GHOSTING whatsoever in ANY game or DVD I've played on my computer with this monitor! Not only that, I still cannot believe how GREAT my games look! Games such as Doom 3, Half Life 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, and The Matrix Online, all look SO much better on this monitor, which says a lot considering that those games already looked great on my CRT. I doubt I will ever need to adjust it, but it is nice to know that it can get MUCH brighter IF I ever needed it.As other reviewers have mentioned, I too love to play FPS games, and after reading so many articles about 'ghosting' and other LCD problems, I was hopeful, but not convinced, that this monitor would not have these issues. I turned the brightness setting WAY down (to about 1/4 of the maximum), and it is still much brighter than my old CRT.

With the brightness setting turned all the way up, this monitor would probably illuminate your front yard if you have it next to your window.

You can pay through the nose to get a brighter monitor, but it is NOT necessary. You WILL need this speed if you intend to display fast-moving images and want superior quality with no ghosting.At 400 nit brightness, this is one of the brightest monitors on the market. Unlike most other LCD's (particularly laptops), the VP912b is easily viewable at pretty much ANY angle without any degradation of image quality or color.If you plan on using an LCD monitor for games or movies, there are two things you want to check: response time and brightness! With its 12ms response time, the VP912b is one of, if not THE, fastest monitors available today. After hooking it up and turning it on, my first impression was 'WOW!' I just can't believe how great everything looks with this monitor! I have always been satisfied with the image quality of my old CRT, but if I had known how much better an LCD monitor could be, I would've bought one years ago! Rest assured, this monitor is far superior to ALL LCD's I've seen in use (including the more expensive models), and especially laptop displays. I have never owned an LCD monitor until I purchased this product. 160-degree horizontal and vertical viewing anglesġ6 of 16 people found the following review helpful.450:1 contrast ratio, 400-nit brightness, 12 ms response time.Viewsonic VP912b 19' LCD Monitor (Black) Product Description: Buy Viewsonic VP912b 19' LCD Monitor (Black)
