The Viewsonic LCDs have always been solidly in the base tier of monitors that 
are calibratable, but less expensive than graphics monitors. Don't confuse it 
with an Eizo, or even a Cinema Display, but definately choose it over most 
consumer brands. We used to use Viewsonic LCDs in ColorVision show booths, to 
illustrate that you could calibrate affordable monitors. 

Of course, LCDs are a lot more affordable these days then they were back 
then, so you could stretch to a Cinema Display, or at least a Sony, for a lot less 
than it used to cost. I can recall when the cutoff was $500 for a 17 inch LCD 
worth calibrating (basicly, the Viewsonic of that day); here you are 
referring to a   20 inch screen thats less than that, and which will calibrate quite 
reasonably.
