Nice Quality / Price Ratio

Recently i bought my 2nd Optiquest Q241wb 24" Widescreen Monitor; im using them on a Power Mac G5 i got exclusively for my home recording studio. I basically work with Pro Tools (Recording Software), and sometimes i also use one of the monitors on my Intel Mac 2.33 MacBook Pro (for the occasional bootcamp/windows gaming). truth is, these are not the amazingly-best quality ever-great image monitors in the planet, but if your display needs are not primarily graphic design or video editing, i.m.o., you will be more than pleased with the performance of this particular monitors.

PRO's:
- Great price.
- Viewsonic endorsement.
- Suprisingly Lightweight.
- Very Bright image.
- Huge desktop realstate (very comfortable for work / gaming purposes)

CON's:
- Cheap /stiff/ no-tilt (nor anything) Stand. Cheapest stand ever. Period

- The "On" LED is far too bright, had to cover it to prevent blindness :)

- Somehow i haven't been able to calibrate both monitors to produce the approximate same output, even using the same profile and / or calibrating them side-by-side; maybe it has something to do with the fact that one of them is about two moths older than the other... or maybe i just suck at calibrating monitors!! (?) as i said before, i'm not a video expert :)

- colors tend to (slightly) change when you move from your viewing angle (again, let's get realistic about this: for this price... don't expect to get the greatest monitor making has ever seen...)

Bottom line:

If you are an Image/ Animation / Photographer / Video Enthusiast or professional, maybe you can find a better monitor for you, yet this one is a very affordable 24" solution; but if you are just looking for a very big chunk of desktop real state to run several appz at the same time or a great "bang-per-buck" gaming monitor, this is definitely an option to consider. First i bought one, and within 2 months decided to get a second one. that's a testimonial that speaks for itself. Great Product, Great price, happy customer.

If you received Nov 2007, you are lucky

I have received Nov 2007 product, I can confirm it is not TN.

finishing is not good, OSD buttons are not responding very well.

But hey, can you buy Non TN 24" LCD at this price?

Nice Monitor, but a few imperfections

This is a nice monitor, and it has good image quality. It was a huge step up from the the 19" monitor I was using before it. As a previous reviewer noted, the reflection off of the edges of the screen can be annoying, as can trying to find a good balance between quality and brightness.

The monitor was a little thicker than I expected (it's about 4" at its deepest), due to the integrated power supply and speakers - but it's still much thinner than its base, so there is no protrusion. The integrated power supply is a nice feature, as it means the monitor uses the standard CPU power cord without having to deal with the annoying rectangular box in the middle.

Overall a good value for your money, but if you've got room in your budget to spend an extra $40, and aren't looking for the convenience of a built in power supply, I would recommend buying a different model.
