Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Enhance Your Viewing Experience with the ViewSonic VA1932WM 19 Inch Widescreen Monitor Wide Screen by Matt Greer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sufficient at best (Mac)

I bought this monitor as a second monitor for my MacBook Pro. First, DVI doesn't work at all with my laptop's DVI output. I'm using the DVI to serial converter that came with my MacBook. The color seems washed out no matter what settings I use. Oddly enough, when I tilt the monitor so that it's at a 45-degree angle to the ceiling, the colors are vibrant and the contrast sharp. I've searched the ViewSonic website for more information but haven't found much. Nothing indicated it wasn't Mac compatible (it comes with Mac drivers on a CD with Windows, but only Windows drivers can be downloaded from the ViewSonic website). The colors look washed out and I'm sad that I can't get DVI to work. Also, this monitor is larger than my MacBook Pro monitor, so I was hoping to get the same resolution on a larger screen. Instead, the same resolution only displays more on the ViewSonic monitor. Needless to say it's adequate but I'm disappointed, especially given the reviews. Of course, this wasn't an expensive monitor, so maybe my expectations weren't met. Just be careful what you're going to use the monitor for, that's all.
