All around a great monitor

When I bought this monitor it was a great deal. I've always used Viewsonic. My first flat CRT was a Viewsonic which lasted almost 10 years. can damage them even during an earthquake by falling and landing either on the keyboard or on something on the table - table etc. I usually put a thick towel on my desk and turn off the monitor and turn it off because it's for me buying monitors is expensive. Where I live now the prices are stupid and the stores come up with a bunch of bulls just to get an…

Great monitor, can only recommend View Sonic

Like all View Sonic monitors I've used, resolution and features are second to none. Unbeatable value with Revain price.

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. Now it's too late to return the monitor so that's a hundred bucks for a faulty monitor I'm stuck on and can't use. Very upset.

Excellent value for money and quality

I am using this third laptop monitor and the resolution (1920 x 1080) matches my laptop screen. Nice bright screen and clear picture. As others have pointed out. The on-screen speakers aren't as good as my laptop's native speakers.

Speakers are unusable, but otherwise good quality

I deliberately chose this monitor because I didn't want to buy external speakers when building my computer and it's nice that headphones don't always have to be on. Don't worry about buying this model if that's what you need, the sound quality from the built in speakers is terrible and barely audible even with 100 sounds on the computer lol. Otherwise the pixel quality is very good!

Great, 1080 VGA works. The ideal width is 1U.

1080 VGA works fine. Crunchy and small. The smallest 1080 monitor I could find cheaply. Doesn't feel cheap. Negative is present.

I like my new monitor very much. I just plugged it in and it worked great. And this for a fair price! I would buy it again! Thanks for attention.

With HTPC and it's amazing!

This monitor can't be beat for the price! I bought it for HTPC use because I couldn't find a TV smaller than 24 inches. Contrast is better than my gaming monitor. I can't believe how sharp the picture is. I haven't tested it in games, but with Netflix, Amazon Prime, and my own x264 rips, this thing puts out a really sharp picture. I have the same background on all 3 monitors in my setup, this is the sharpest and brightest and my gaming monitor (as expected) has more depth. For the $85 I spent…

A very good monitor. Good price.

Replaced my old monitor with this one. It's much brighter and the resolution is excellent. I already have a 22" monitor which is great too. ViewSonic can't go wrong. They have been making monitors for a long time.

Totally non-grainy and with a good color palette

I accidentally bought a 19.5" 1600x900 monitor for my RV. I didn't realize how grainy 1600x900 would be at this size. Switching to this 1920x1080 monitor was a huge improvement. Maybe the 1600x900 was -Low quality monitor only.(Another 19.5" 1600x900 monitor might work better) but this one still works very well. I don't like seeing pixels and this monitor is very crisp "Sharp text that's not grainy at all. It's not as good as my 4K monitor at home, but I can use it to work in Lightroom and…

RGB failure after 2 months, works horribly with laptop 4K

The monitor color stopped working normally after 2 months; I adjusted the color type from sRGB to native to warm hoping it would match the color of my laptop's desktop. This fix only works temporarily to cause the monitor to revert to an ugly bluish cast that will only get worse over time. Also, this 2K monitor didn't work well with my 4K laptop to begin with; windows are distorted; The content pane is often too small, and the gray background pane (filename and folder path panes, etc.) is often

What I like best is that it's a wide screen

What I like the most is that it's a wide screen that has a better view. What I don't like is that the screen turns yellow every now and then.

Shipping address could not be changed

Viewsonic won't let me change my shipping address. I ordered it and then Ohio closed and I came home from college. I understand this is for security reasons, but I have nothing to do other than verify my identity for them. I hope my package is still there when I come back.

The screen is good and clear, the picture is clear. We've had previous ViewSonic monitors with great speakers, but the speakers on this newer model are tinny and lack depth. If you don't care about sound, this is a great little monitor.

Great monitor, suits me

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.

Good quality but weird controls

The controls are very impractical. The buttons are located on the bottom of the device and are not intuitive. The speakers are also very bad. My built-in computer speakers are much better, and that's not saying much.
