After two hundred-plus hours of use, I have yet to find a single bright or dead pixel, but there is one major caveat: a "No Signal" error occured on screen with the DVI cable installed. ViewSonic's Customer Support rep would only say that my ATI Fire GL 8800 accelerator card must be incompatable, but my question about a compatable cards list drew a non-response.
The monitor operates perfectly well in analog, but to avoid startup errors in Windows 2000, it's important that the "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" box in the Display Properties/Settings/Advanced/Monitor window is checked (make sure that all changes are made while the display is in landscape mode!).
Overall, the VP211b's large screen presence, highly flexible positioning, easy USB port access and neutral color balance are qualities that were either lacking or altogether missing with prior monitors. Although I cannot comment on its digital-input performance at this time, the VP211b nontheless provides a comfort level that exceeded my expectations.
