High quality large screen monitor

24-inch Computer Monitor Model: VG2448 Return price at the time of writing this article: $196.44. If you've ever thought about a new or second monitor for your computer, this ViewSonic is a great choice. Picture quality on the 24-inch screen is superb with a crisp 1920 x 1080p resolution. The monitor offers a wide viewing angle of up to 178 degrees from all sides, making it ideal for group presentations and work environments. The monitor is surprisingly easy to set up. There are only three. The

Doesn't work properly no matter what I try

I don't have a cable or dish so I decided to try it as an alternative to a TV monitor. I can't even connect it properly to my TV box, and the options it claims exist aren't there. Despite the specs, I can't even alternatively connect it to any of my laptops. Do not worry.

Lots of features, easy setup

I'm not very technical, but I can do it. I had no trouble installing the stand on the base and the monitor on the stand. No tools required, everything just snaps into place. This monitor is bright and sharp for both on-screen text and photos or browser windows. Not a single dead pixel. Everything is perfect right out of the box. I had to provide an HDMI cable which was not included. Adjusting the height and viewing angles is very flexible and easy, so you can quickly feel comfortable in front…

Ideal for writing

An excellent monitor for writing articles as it has a well-designed portrait mode swivel. The picture quality is much better than the monitor it replaces and also my second monitor. I am using a DP connection and cable on a Dell Optiplex SFF PC.

  • Only available in black

I was first impressed with the monitor when the original seal was broken. That didn't bother me, later when I was tinkering with my Cubase I noticed sharp micro-holes. The seller may be reliable, but the item I RECEIVED was definitely returned by someone.

Easy to set up and good quality

First, the delivery was very fast. I ordered it on Saturday and it arrived on Monday morning. More importantly, the monitor was extremely easy to set up. I connected it to my laptop with an HDMI cable, then went to desktop settings and clicked "Detect" and almost immediately I saw two fully functional screens. Adjusting the height and angle of the screen is very easy, and it is possible to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait. This screen was highly recommended to me by my company's IT…

Everything I wanted!

Overall a great monitor! I mainly use it for multiple screens on my MacBook Pro. I originally bought a non-curved monitor and found that having a curved monitor is much better. Luckily the one I originally bought turned out to be defective and I ended up buying this one and never looking back. I love that I can plug it into my USB-C and it also charges my laptop so I only have to connect one cable.

Not surprising, but solid

I replaced an old Dell with this ViewSonic which I'm generally very happy with. The panel could be a bit brighter, but it has a very useful feature for me - I have two computers connected to it, and when I sleep one and wake the other, it automatically switches inputs. Not rocket science, but much nicer than fumbling around with the OSD to switch.

The speakers are useless!

Pros: Strong mount with easy pan, tilt and lift. Good. Cons: Price, somewhat washed out colors, and while others have said there weren't many speakers, I have to disagree. You hear almost nothing when everything is set to maximum, both in your computer software and in the monitor itself. I'd say if you think the speakers are good enough for listening to phone messages etc, then they aren't. I'm not sure why they even put them in if at least you can't.

Excellent picture, it's nice to choose landscape or portrait.

I bought one of these before using it and it worked amazingly. They seem very durable and can switch to landscape or portrait mode. Unfortunately the one I received had a broken screen and couldn't be used at all. When I returned for a refund I didn't want to try to get another one because they are packaged in such a way that the glass part of the monitor is packed at the bottom of the box and anything hitting the side could damage them. If you can get a good one I highly recommend but one star

Do not buy this monitor

Image quality is lower than most standard monitors and grainy. The buttons don't have labels, so you'll have to guess or read the manual to use them. It loses connection to the HDMI input and turns black. If the screen goes black even though it's on, you can't see the menu options when you press the keys, so you can't see what you're doing when you try to change the inputs. I have worked with many monitor brands over the years. This is the worst thing I've ever seen.

Bad input switching

Image quality and ease of setup were excellent. Very impressed with this monitor. The only problem I have is switching between two input sources. It is used for my wife's desktop and my work laptop. Can't switch between them. Every time I tell it to change, it reverts to the original input. I had to completely unhook the laptop to turn it back into a desktop device. Otherwise it's 5.

DO NOT BUY for m1 mac

Everything was pretty good for the first few months, but recently it started flickering heavily on startup for 5 minutes and then intermittently flickering during normal use. It doesn't happen on my Windows laptop, but it's really annoying on my m1.

Excellent second monitor

I use this monitor as a second monitor for my 27" iMac. It really doesn't compare to the iMac's large Retina display, but I wasn't expecting it since it's only 1080p. Use it as a great second monitor, come on which I can drag things I don't use all the time, or even more conveniently, I drag Photoshop or Lightroom controls onto the ViewSonic so I have my entire iMac to view images I'm working on. The ones that come with ViewSonic come in handy that they can use (see product description) but I…

The picture is clear and looks good, but I get migraines

I don't know why some monitors get migraines and others don't. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the monitors that was giving me a migraine. I've been messing around with all the settings and adjusting the brightness, contrast, etc doesn't help. After sitting in front of him for an hour, my eyes hurt and I felt terrible. I will come back and look for another new monitor.

Good versatile monitor

I don't find the colors and contrast as good as the old monitor that was replaced. For an affordable, multifunctional monitor of this size, I find it very acceptable. Maybe not the best choice for photo editing. Easy to set up and understand. The sound from the speakers is weak. Matte screen surface. The stand is one of its distinguishing features. It has a pivoting turntable at the base, and vertical adjustment is done without much effort. The screen rotates in every direction, even in…

This monitor has great build quality, a beautiful picture, and all the features you could ever need. - Excellent inputs - DP, HDMI and VGA - Fully adjustable stand. Tiltable, rotatable and height adjustable. An IPS panel that is well suited for general computing tasks. However, gamers may prefer a panel with a slower response time. The picture quality is excellent. Clear text and beautiful colors. Built-in speakers for convenience. As with almost all monitor speakers, the sound quality is…

Perfect for my setup

This monitor is perfect for my PlayStation 4, the picture is fantastic! Also works well in my multi-monitor PC setup. The ability to adjust the height of the monitor instead of my chair is very underrated. The tilt function of the monitor is also excellent, very useful when reading comics. Great value for money for this monitor!
