Our take
The ViewSonic Optiquest Q9b is a blast from the past, perfect for retro gaming enthusiasts. The 19-inch 5:4 screen and 1280x1024 resolution are ideal for older games that don't scale well to widescreen. I liked the simple VGA input, though it limits modern connectivity. The 60Hz refresh is fine for classic titles. At $100, it's a niche buy but great for a dedicated retro setup. Just note the small screen and low resolution won't suit modern gaming.
