Viewsonic are pretty good monitors & long lasting.
I have several ViewSonic P810-3M 21" CRT Monitors that still work flawlessly to this day, so imagine what the newer 2021 will do lol.

Thanks to Steve posting the info on the new Viewsonic monitors, many members that are looking for some new monitors now have some extra options.
 
I know many go with top brand names like Samsung/LG/Sony/etc. but how many of those have a proven life longevity such as Viewsonic. Yes, they may be cheaper than the other brand names but the quality is there as demonstrated by my photos above with clearly visible manufacture date of 1998. Although I have several 4K LCD monitors for my main computers, my old CRT monitors work flawlessly like the day they were made.
