I have the VP191 with a Raedon 9800 Pro and I don't have any problems with
it. The response time (25 ms) and other specs are identical to your
monitor. I also use the DVI input, the optimal resolution (1280x1024), and
the preferred refresh rate of 60Hz. Don't try using a refresh rate above 75
Hz or you can damage the monitor. LCD monitors work best at the optimal
resolution even though they support others with a side effect of blurry
and/or shimmering text. The only effect I see during scrolling is a color
brightness shift (most noticeable for blues) which I attribute to the
response time. If you think your monitor is bad, you should contact
Viewsonic for assistance. Your monitor should perform equal to mine.
