Great monitor in my opinion

Virwsonic isn't a cool monitor company anymore, but I still use them in a lot of studio setups because of their reliability. I have first generation 1080p panels that lasted 8000 hours and are now moving to new studios. One of the last two had its bezel ripped off, probably a packaging error, and looked like it had fallen to the ground at some point - cement dust. was found on the panel. It wasn't a problem, it just showed that although the panel is mostly plastic, it can withstand rough handling. Repairing it was a matter of prying open the broken bezel, reinstalling the panel, blowing out the cement dust, and carefully reassembling the unit. Like new. As shown, these devices are great for paired displays on VESA mounts. The included monitor lizards are a weak point in the design. But the VESA mount means their mounts end up being stock. In a 40 monitor setup I buy four with trees and then wire them all VESA standard which saves me four trees in case I need to install some of them. A word of caution regarding VESA. Older hands will expect heavier monitors and won't like new generation panels. Have a workshop make a 100mm x 100mm or 75 x 75mm metal plate with holes for VESA and use longer screws. The extra bulk helps the old mounts support the new monitors.
