I have a ViewSonic 6L, and I'm absolutely delighted with it. Its the
best 14" monitor I've ever seen. The only things which I could ask for
on top of what it gives are a flat screen, and 70Hz refresh @ 1024x768.
Other than that, it gives me an image almost 13.5" across the diagonal
(some of the " 15" monitors " are no bigger than this !!), which is
incredibly sharp and contrasty all the way across. Colours are also very
bright, and you get a lot of control over the image size and position.
If, like me, you don't mind 1024x768 at 60Hz non-interlaced, then I'd
really recommend this monitor (b.t.w. I use a Tseng ET4000 Mega Eva 2
card with this monitor).
As far as the Viewsonic 5E goes, I have a friend who just bought one and
is happy with it. I have'nt actually seen it, so I can't comment
personally on the image quality etc. This monitor is I'm told a much
flatter screen than the '6L, and does 72Hz refresh at 1024x768
non-interlaced.
Hope that is of some use,
