Got this monitor about a month ago as a secondary monitor for my Macbook Pro 15" Late 2011 model. I didn't have a chance to set it up for a few days so it only took me about 20 days to test it. The comments from other reviewers are spot on the right thing, so we'll just point out a few pros and cons Pros: - VESA mount screw holes are present but barely visible on the back - Installation was very quick and easy, plug and play - No dead or stuck pixels. - No external power supply, just plug the…

Since these things are subjective, I'll break the review down into topics: What I use it for: Casual, General Web Use How it works for me: Gaming - I really like the image on it. This is an upgrade from what I used before and for what I play (Skyrim, WoW, Sims 3 etc) the picture quality is great. Quality: Cheap plastic stand, I think it should be heavier for the weight of the monitor. It's also not very flexible for monitor settings and creaking. It could be a lot better. The monitor itself is…

This is a 22-inch LED monitor with better contrast than an LCD monitor, even more so when you play around with the settings. The only problem is that it only has one HD input, which is DVI and the other is VGA. It's at the edges where all the colors fade except for the white on the top, left, and right. Also, after 3 months of use, the VGA input started failing as a strip of white pixels appeared on my computer when booting up. It's a decent monitor if you can get your hands on it without any…

Considering all the concerns in the reviews here that this monitor didn't have a DVI cable, only VGA, I bought the DVI cable separately as it was for a working machine and I really needed it to start working out of the box. So imagine my surprise when I opened the box and the DVI cable fell out! And it was the only one included! Also, my stand doesn't wobble, but feels very cheap for a monitor of this size and price. My 5 year old Acer had a much better, sturdier built-in stand with a smaller…

Too bad I did not understand and did not see in the review that the stand is not adjustable and does not tilt. So it's lower than I'd like, and I put pads under the front of the stand to give it a little backward tilt, which I like. I like my center monitor at eye level, and I can't do it without putting a thick phone book under it, which I don't. As others have said, the stand is weak. It's a shame to put a really good monitor on such a pedestal. I don't use speakers. Resolution and image…

This monitor has a great picture and was the cheapest I could find with acceptable specs. The only problem is that sometimes the speakers just stop working. When the computer goes to sleep, hibernates, or remains inactive for too long, the monitor speakers do not turn on. I suspect it's some sort of power saving feature that's poorly implemented. Overall this is a great monitor for the price. ViewSonic has some great low cost products. Colors are vibrant and the speakers sound good when they're

The monitor works fine. The picture is very clear and the colors are good. It's bright for an LED screen. It was very easy to "install" on my computer. I like the clarity of the screen, but I don't like that the font is so small even when highlighting the largest symbols; This is because the height is small compared to the width. A big downside is the computer stand, it's not adjustable at all. That way, when the sun hits the window, you can't tilt the screen to reduce glare.

I have a video production company and this is a great product if you edit HD videos. I calibrated it using the THX Optimizer feature on my Disney Incredibles DVD. This will really help you set up a 1080p monitor just like a professional home theater installer would. I really needed a 1080p widescreen monitor as a second display to see live monitoring from my editing platform after color grading etc. The ViewSonic VA2212M really is what you need! I'm still testing the Firewire output to an…

I've been a freelance computer consultant for 23 years and have worked with computers since 1983. I have purchased many ViewSonic monitors over the years and they have always met my expectations. This monitor outperformed them! I found it delivered vivid and accurate color as well as edge-to-edge clarity. There are no dead pixels. Beautiful appearance and good shape on the stand. It worked great the first time I connected it to my Windows 8 PRO desktop. I always check the warranty and never buy

It's time to switch to a widescreen monitor and I've done a lot of research. Viewsonic has been around for a long time and there are a lot of positive reviews about them, so I gave this monitor a try. , and a somewhat weak stand. However, this is an amazing device. It has a very thin glossy black bezel which I really like. The on-screen controls are tucked at the right angle and are fairly easy to navigate. It has an unobtrusive little blue light that turns yellow when it turns off. Yes, the…
