Today I bought myself a new monitor. A ViewSonic OptiQuest Q20wb. For a long time I was looking for a TFT monitor which could replace my old Philips107E5 CRT monitor.. After a long time of thinking what I should buy, a “regular” tft or a widescreen tft I choose for a widescreen tft!
I had some preferences…
1. On my old monitot I always worked with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 and now I wanted a monitor with the same resolution or even more!
2. It had to be 19 inch or more!

So then I found out that most of the widescreen tft’s had the max resolution of 1440 x 900 and that’s something what I dind’t want to! So then while surfing the net I found this 20 inch monitor and that was what I wanted! Now I’m a owner of a ViewSonic OptiQuest 20 inch monitor with the next features:
- Display Panel: 20.1″ color active matrix LCD (TFT)
- Display Type: WSXGA
- Resolution: 1680 x 1050 Maximum
- Response time: 5ms
- Contrast Ratio: 1000:1
- Brightness (Typical): 300 cd/m2
- Viewing Angle (H/V): 160/160
- Cabinet Color: Black
- Video Inputs: Analog RGB, Digital DVI-D ( I use the Digital DVI-D!)
- Horizontal Refresh Rate: 31kHz – 82kHz
- Vertical Refresh Rate: 50Hz – 75Hz

This monitor is a giant compared to my old monitor and the colours are just greaat! Till now I haven’t found a dead pixel and I’m very curioused about gaming on it! Check the picture here below of my new monitor!
