Best Review: ViewSonic LED Professional Display CDE3201LED 32-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor - Update: Found a setting that makes the fonts tolerable so I moved it from one star to three stars.Short version:1. You can only get about 60 pixels per inch at 1600x1200 so the fonts are going to look grainy. Most monitors give you closer to 100 pixels per inch (even at lower resolution settings) which is very sharp. That's why pro monitors are 2560x1600 resolution and cost in the $1000 range.2. With the picture set to "Full 100%" instead of the default setting of "Normal" and using a DVI cable the fonts are not terrible anymore. They are NOT good but they are borderline tolerable. I can see pixels and there are a LOT of shadows (light/dark transitions) on every letter.This monitor is going back to Amazon.Long unedited version:I was looking forward to replacing two 22" monitors with this one. However, when I plugged it in and set the resolution to the recommended setting (1920x1080) fonts look terrible. Its so bad that its hard to read some words. I expected that it might not be as sharp as the smaller monitors running at 1600x1200 but I didn't expect it to be almost unusable. I tried every resolution setting available and some looked less pixelated but they were very fuzzy. I'm using the digital video output from a dedicated graphics card. The fonts on my other two monitors look super sharp and pixels are not even noticeable.I hoped that this issue could be a setting problem but I've gone through every setting I know how to change and nothing has helped. I guess that's why all the other 32" monitors I saw cost over $1000. It may not be possible to make a quality 32" monitor for $400.I called ViewSonic and they could not help.I updated my video card drivers and that didn't help.A comment in another review gave me the idea of playing with picture settings.I get a little better fonts using a DVI cable and then setting the "Picture Screen Size" to "Full 100%". Nothing helps when I use a HDMI cable.I did the math (which I should have done before I bought the monitor) and it only has 60-70% as many pixels per inch as my other monitors that run at lower resolutions. (this monitor 70 pixels/inch. Smaller monitors running at lower resolutions 100 pixels/inch) That explains the way it looks after I changed to "Full 100%". The monitor settings will not allow me to edit "PC Settings" when using DVI or HDMI cables. I suppose its possible that if Viewsonic fixes that issue there may be a way to improve it some more.With the picture set to "Full 100%" instead of the default setting of "Normal" and using a DVI cable the fonts are not terrible anymore. They aren't great but they are tolerable. I can see pixels and there are a LOT of shadows (light/dark transitions) on every letter.I'll likely send this one back and get a 27" monitor. 27" is probably about as large as you can go without getting under 80 pixels per inch unless you are willing to spend over $1000 for a high end 32" monitor and higher resolution video card.I hope this review helps someone else not make the same mistake I did.
