Review on ViewSonic VG2030Wm 20 Inch Widescreen Monitor 1680X1050, Wide Screen, Height Adjustment, ‎VG2030WM by Charles Dickerson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worth every penny in my opinion

I love this monitor. The screen is rich and bright, and the response time is excellent. There are no dead pixels and I just can't figure out how rich the picture is. This is my first flat panel display at home and I am amazed at how much more desk space I have after replacing a standard CRT monitor. 5 star rating but as there are a few downsides I've decided to give it a 4. The built-in speakers are tiny and just not worth using if you have something else. ok but just adds a little extra height and width and is useless IMO. It's really trivial, but between that and the extra height from the built-in speakers, it barely fits where I have it. A DVI cable is not included and you will need to purchase your own if you do not wish to use the standard analog cable that comes with the unit. The only other minor downside is that the driver CD that came with the device is outdated and doesn't have the latest XP or Vista drivers so you'll have to go to their website and download the latest drivers for the device. the best possible picture. No big deal, just a little thing left to do. The flaws are all minor, and again the picture is incredible, which is what matters. I would highly recommend this flat panel to anyone, and you can get it for closer to $200 than $300 if you do a little searching.

Pros
  • 20 inch
Cons
  • Color balancing: If the colors on the display are not precisely calibrated, the display can appear washed out or too bright.
