My ViewSonic VE510+ LCD Display was my first LCD Monitor, and I will never return to the old CRT Monitors. I will not go into all the advantages of LCD's over CRT's because this review is about the ViewSonic VE510+. The ViewSonic VE510+ has many great specs including a 450:1 Constrast ratio which is excellent for 15" LCD's. Although it is only a 15" display, it is larger than many 17" CRT's. It performs wonderfully playing video, and it has built in speakers with easily accessable volume controls in front. I have no serious complaints about this excellent LCD monitor and would highly recommend this LCD to anyone looking for a new monitor.
