Comparative test of low priced 8, 12, 16, and 25 ms 19” LCDs
by Vincent Alzieu
Published on December 2, 2004

ViewSonic VG910s
The VG910s isn’t really ViewSonic’s best product. The reduction in price compared to a few weeks ago is the main advantage of this mid range screen. The MVA panel is manufactured by Fujitsu.




Ergonomics

The VG910s’ functions are minimal but sufficient for most users. There are internal speakers and a power supply, and there is a choice of DVI or analogical input, of which this is the only screen to offer this option.


The VG910s isn’t vertically adjustable and doesn’t have a pivot mode or UBSB hub.

The top and side of the body is very thin (21 mm).

It is possible to incline a little bit the screen .


Color quality

It’s perfect! White is 208 cd/m² (still a little too bright but much better than most of its competitors), and black is deep (0.34 cd/m²). The contrast ratio is 613:1.

How to interpret the graph ? The X axis is 0 to 100, 0 is black and 100 is white.
When Delta E > 3 the desired colors is noticeably different from the one on the screen.
When 1 < Delta E < 2 colors are accurate. When Delta E < 1 the result is perfect.

This VA panel has a color spectrum close to a CRT screen’s. It is as good in blues, a little less so with greens, and much better with reds. The reference screen, however, is a top-of-the-line CRT, and one of the most expensive 19” CRTs.










Games



This screen isn’t for gamers as the CMO panel isn’t reactive enough. It’s even very slow with an above average game afterglow. When we see the results of the Belinea 10 17 35 and Iiyama E435S, we can only be disappointed. Don’t play UT2004 with this screen.

Movies



If games aren’t excellent, films are. This screen displays 163.7 million inborn colors and the result is good, as colors are excellent and the twinkling effect is non-existent. Except for a slightly perceptible afterglow, this screen is perfect. Fortunately, even if you are able to see this last defect you will quickly forget about it.

Verdict

Not good for games, it’s excellent for image editing, office use and movies. This isn’t a gamer’s screen, but could be great for the whole family.
