Great monitor and great value, but speakers aren't everything

One of the reasons I bought this monitor was so I could get rid of my desktop speakers, but that's not going to happen. The speakers are only 2W which means they don't produce much sound and since the speakers are mounted on the back of the monitor the sound is barely audible. It might have been a bit louder if the sound was bouncing off the wall behind the monitor, but I doubt it because the speakers are so weak. On the plus side, the monitor looks great and delivers impressive colors and…

Great viewing but useless listening

The speakers are beyond useless, but the monitor's performance and resolution are excellent. I bought it mainly because I wanted text to be easier to read [compared to my previous monitor]. So I needed the largest screen size I could find that would work in the native 1920x1080 resolution. 20" was the ticket and this monitor was the most expensive 20" monitor I could buy. Even the smallest text is absolutely clear and easy to read. A note. As others have said it's wider than you might expect…

  • The picture is good but the speakers are terrible.

The item was well packaged and arrived safely. It only took five minutes to set up the monitor, assemble the stand, connect the power cord, audio cable and VGA cable. Both Windows 10 and my graphics card recognized the monitor immediately, I downloaded the latest drivers and registered the product on the ViewSonic website. The built-in speakers can be adjusted via the built-in menu, but there's not much to say about that - not very loud and rather tinny, even with the settings in my audio…

Great monitor, don't pay too much for speakers

The monitor is excellent, the controls are impractical. The speakers are really weak, and there are practically none, I bought it specifically so that the sound was better than the laptop and not for gaming or anything else, so it was disappointing that the speakers were worse than the laptop.

Great monitor. - my new rating

Great monitor. One of the smallest monitors (in terms of dimensions) we've found, with DVI input and 1080p resolution. Solid and good quality. Fits perfectly in our audio/video booth.

The perfect little monitor for my living room PC!

I have a computer on my chair in the living room. I know don't judge me! I like to look for things when I'm watching TV to "multitask"! Either way, this is a nice little monitor. bright, clear, fast. and doesn't take up much space on my mobile table, which stands next to the chair. Highly recommended!

Good assembly screen

Excellent assembly screen. I like that because when the case is thicker due to the attachment, we often move it around my client's dental office.

Good video quality in my rating

I ordered this to replace my grandson's PC. Came well packaged and worked out of the box. Good video quality. Heavier than other monitors.

Bought for a refurbished laptop my wife bought. She uses it as her primary monitor, mostly related to typing. Excellent ad.

Great monitor - my new review

This is the perfect monitor and excellent value for money. I had to replace my old View sound monitor that I had for years and it eventually died. I decided to order another ViewSonic as I was so lucky with my old one. I am very happy with it. I use it as an extra monitor for work, ideal for a small area. I highly recommend.

Defect non-refundable

The monitor worked fine for about a month. It started to flicker and freeze. I logged out a few times and it worked again. Then it happened again. after 2 days is ok. It happened again, and this time I had to turn off the monitor for several hours. I thought it might be my new laptop and not a monitor. No, it's a monitor. It's too late to return the monitor now, so that's a hundred dollars for a faulty monitor that I can no longer use. Very upset.

Suitable for everything but gaming

As the title says, it took me a while to see and test this. I wasn't expecting it to be slow with the response time so that's the only issue.

They have integrated turning off into the menu, turning off can be very annoying. I'll never buy anything like that again. Poor power cut method aside, it performs as you would expect from a 1080p monitor at 60Hz

Good monitors: my rating

I'm not a professional photographer but we use Adobe Photoshop for a small graphic design business and they work great. Sure there are much better monitors out there, but I don't make a living from books. I spent way too much time reading to find the right monitors and just wrapped them up and bought them net. Glad you did!

Additional monitor for the home office

3rd day with this monitor and everything is fine. Easy setup. I use it as a second monitor for my home office. That's my feedback.

I hope they are available forever.

Bought 4 units for my dentist chairs - speakers aren't the best but I don't want to blow up the room. The only problem or I had to tamper with the mount. Hopefully they are available as my office needs to move forward.

a cheap monitor replacement for a device with poor eyesight.

Someone gave me a video camera because of poor eyesight and the monitor didn't work, but most importantly it still works. These children's devices are expensive and worth repairing. The Vesa mount made it perfect for me. Only reason not 5 stars is no HDMI but also no bump. From DVI to Hdmi Conferter for my second device.
