In my personal expeience, I have never, ever had any kind of problems with Samsung. Viewsonic on the other hand, Im a little skeptic.
I curently own a Viewsonic monitor (19" LCD). It's been great for roughly two years until recently. There would be no display but the power light is green and flashing. It's trying to get signal, but not. I can hear Windows logging in the background because of the stupid Windows startup sound, yet the monitor is blank.
The ONLY way that I can get the display back up again is if I were to unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor, leave it unplugged for about 30-45 seconds and then plug it back in. Works every single stupid time!!!!
I think I can safely say that my monitor is on the fritz for two years of ownership. Bad, not a good sign Viewsonic.
Before, I thought it was my lousy POS video card (7800GT). Since I have no way of testing it, it made me consider the monitor. Maybe it's jsut a bad cable for all I know. But this has scarred me from using Viewsonic as my next monitor. It's Samsung next and will keep using that brand until premature failure forces me to reconsider my options.
Anyone have any particular trouble with a certain brand monitor?
