My German just isnt good enough to last an entire review - well maybe its my patience who knows hehe. Hopefully you can still appreciate the review even tho its in English. If someone can translate it to german, feel free to do it 
Viewsonic VP181B - First Impressions
As there has already been 3 reviews posted here on Prad.de, this review will probably not be like those. I can only agree with what the 3 reviews are saying and try to resume and add some positive and negative things about the TFT.
The monitor itself:
Simply perfekt in terms of design and material. The way you can turn and adjust the TFT simply confirms that its top materials and its VERY stable. I was especially surprised by the Pivot function, how easy it was to turn the display 90 degrees and how it almost automatically got put to place, making it horisontally 100% correct. I simply looove the fact that the VP181B can turn 45 degrees both left and right. I havent really used the height-installer yet but it seems stable as well.
The OSD:
Theres 5 buttons on the VP181B, one of which is the power-on button. The 4 others are labeled as "1" - "arrow up" - "arrow down" and "2". "1" is used to access the OSD. "2" is used to switch between multiple monitors (D-SUB, DVD-A/DVD-I) and the arrows...well used for scrolling, what else 
The OSD in general is very user-friendly. Its easy to adjust the contrast and brightness - i could have wished for a valueamount (example: Contrast 78 and Brightness 35) but theres only a slider, no problem tho. The rest of the OSD contains the usual options. My VP181B has all the Interpolation features too, and they're working perfectly.
The image quality:
As this is my first TFT and my last CRT monitor was a 5 year-old Goldstar 17" - ANY monitor really would impress me lots. And the same with the Viewsonic VP181B - the image quality is simply perfect. White is really white and the colors themselves are 100% true - and all of this goes to the ENTIRE screen area, even in the corners. The angle-problem which wasnt really described in the other reviews, but as TFTshop.net found out - is unfortunately there. Meaning that its only visible at night in a dark room, trying to watch a dark DVD. Its not a big problem though, not for me anyways.
Pixel errors:
Unfortunately, i found 4 full Pixelerrors on my VP181B. But strangely enough, they're not noticable at all - only when i really try looking for them. And sometimes i even manage to find only 2. I tested it with the TFT-test.exe and all 4 pixels were visible on all the colorscreens (white, blue, green, red) except the black one - meaning that all 4 pixelerrors are dark ones, which makes it bearable. As of now, I have no plans of switching it at the store. Before buying it, i was pretty sure that pixelerrors would annoy me very much - but im amazed to find out they dont annoy me at all. Luckily they're all located close to the edge of the TFT so maybe thats why
The gaming experience:
So far Ive only been able to test the monitor shortly with 3 games.
Battlefield 1942: I see NO blurring at all - perfectly playable and with those colors...wow!
Counterstrike: I'm not really a CS-gamer but the VP181B plays CS greeeat! First i tried in 1024x768 and my mate, who is an experienced CS-gamer, stood beside me saying "theres juust a bit blurring when i look at the huge boxes in cs". Myself...i couldnt really see it, i was running around shooting all over perfectly with no blurs at all. When i changed the resolution to 1280x960 - wow the gfx got even better and now my mate said that he couldnt see any blurring at all - niiiiice
Tiger Woods 2003: A game that not many tests - its very playable and since you can specify in many details how the graphics should be in this game, i had to adjust a bit but then it runs just fine.
The final notes:
In general, im extremely satisfied with the Viewsonic VP181B. Here are the pros and cons to sum it up
Pro:
- Perfect image quality
