Great monitor for the price!

The widescreen LCD replaced my 19 inch Veiwsonic CRT and was prompted by a new PC purchase. This monitor's analog and digital inputs allowed me to use it with an old PC while waiting weeks for my new PC to arrive. with the latest digital graphics cards. The drivers that came with the monitor were a thing of the past, and the 64-bit Vista driver was available for download from the Viewsonic website. The monitor also worked properly with normal Windows drivers (Vista x64). other inexpensive…

Great monitor. in my rating

Have had it for several months now. It works great and we really like it. However, when I first got it, I saw a dead pixel right in the center of the monitor. However, after a few days of use, it kind of disappeared from the screen and hasn't appeared since. I'm not sure how it healed itself but I'm glad it's gone. Whether it's displaying faster gaming action (Crysis, COD4, World in Conflict, etc.) or watching movies or sports, this monitor handles it all without a hitch. I highly recommend.

This monitor is great!

You are welcome to buy this model. Color, resolution, usability and customization, and ergonomics make it incredibly attractive. I like this!

Watch Sonic do it again

All I did was plug it in and there was a crisp, clear picture. I don't play games so I can speak about the speed but there are no issues with movies. I love the wide screen in everything I do.

Watch Sonic VG2230WM 22 ".

I work at the University of California, Santa Cruz and we need to read and edit documents related to university policies and regulations. It's very convenient to have a big screen to browse the web and quickly scan a document before printing. The colors are wonderful and the resolution is excellent for both images and text. I'll probably buy another one this year.

I'm looking at two of these monitors right now.

I liked this monitor so much that I bought a second one. Now I'm looking at a third one. These monitors have good picture quality and are reliable. If I had the choice of using these two monitors on an old laptop or buying a premium laptop with only one monitor, I would without a doubt take these two monitors with my old laptop.

Great until it breaks

I've had this monitor for about a year and a half (April 2008). It's a huge screen, crisp display, and a big improvement over the old CRT I used (which probably still works, although I threw it away when I got this one). goes black for a few seconds and then turns back on by itself. It used to be rare, but then it started happening every day. It didn't bother me much because it only went out for a second or two. I thought it had something to do with the cable connections and after fiddling with

The screen flickers. speakers hiss.

The screen flickers very badly for the first 20 minutes after switching on and then continues to flicker non-stop. This happens in an office with a room temperature of 75 degrees. There's also a constant hiss from the speakers unless they're turned off. This monitor is less than 2 years old. Completely unacceptable.

Disappointed: my rating

I wanted a digital photography monitor that was a little better than the budget offerings. I chose Viewsonic. When I received it, there was a solid green pixel in the center of the display and a 3/8-inch light bar at the top. Revain was VERY helpful with the returns process and even covered return shipping. It seems bad. Pixels in the newer monitors can be considered "normal" but being right in the middle is not acceptable. I've seen this monitor in action and as long as there are no pixel…

No dead pixels! good for me

What was my biggest problem when buying an LCD. Most of the cheaper brands - well they're cheaper because people are content to live with dots on the screen. This monitor received positive reviews elsewhere, and this site had the best price. It's BIG and looks great. Most/all monitors of this size currently use TN panels and I suspect this will fit due to the viewing angle and some see-through at the top and bottom of the screen when loading. As a graphic designer, you need a smaller screen (19

I bought two of these

Recently my wife wanted to replace her old 17" monitor with a larger widescreen monitor, so I bought her this monitor as a birthday present. We were both impressed with the size and shape (16:10 aspect ratio) of this monitor. `That a lot space on the desktop and eliminates the need for scrolling when working with wide applications, which is becoming quite common these days.After a few days, I decided that I wanted to replace my 19" CRT with 4:3 aspect ratio.

Super flat monitor V2230wm

This ViewSonic flat panel replaces the usual large ViewSonic screen that I've had for about 5 years with no problems. The flat panel offers the same vivid colors and large picture as my first ViewSonic. The screen arrived well packaged, was easy to set up and has been running for weeks with no problems. I'm a big fan of ViewSonic and would recommend it unreservedly.

ViewSonic VG2230WM suits me

At first I was concerned that the 16:10 aspect ratio would cause game screens to scale or crop, but Age of Empires renders full screen perfectly with its own in-game settings for the monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050. If you're used to a screen resolution of 1600 x 1200, which is 100ppi on a 4:3 aspect ratio screen, you might notice slightly larger pixels on this 89ppi monitor. Adapting to this change is easy. The extra width of this screen is a pleasure when working with spreadsheets or

Great 22 " monitor for the price

I've been using this monitor for about a month. So far I'm pretty impressed with it. I haven't looked at other 22" LCDs personally, but I have a 17" Viewsonic, a 19" Samsung and a 20" Dell in my apartment for comparison (the last two belong to my roommate). Compared to the old 17-inch Viewsonic and 19-inch Samsung, the image quality (brightness, sharpness, contrast) of this monitor is just as excellent; although it's not as good as the Dell 20-inch notebook in terms of colors and features…

Good, but tone and pitch issues

First, I have to acknowledge that my Viewsonic isn't exactly the same model, it's the VX2035 that preceded it. But it looks like the stuck pixel issue has happened to more than one reviewer. Thanks to one of them for mentioning using jscreenfix to fix this issue. I had a center pixel glued right out of the box. In addition, the built-in speakers are very inadequate. Having always had great sounding satellite speakers this was a real disappointment. Especially since there are no connections for…
