VA2026W Failures

 

I puchased quite a few of these monitors for our company...lately they are dropping like flies. I had 2 go dead today that have the exact same manufacture date 08-08-2007. Seems like they don't make them to hold up any longer.

Vivid colors, Easy setup, Lightweight

Expert review by:

ViewSonic VA2626wm

 

Editors' Note: There was a mistake made with the original calculation of this monitor's rating. The mistake has now been fixed, and the overall star rating has been adjusted to reflect the fix. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Practical OSD layout; speakers have a good bass to treble balance

Washed-out colors in games and movies; no rotation or screen height adjustment; bad lower viewing angle; lack of OSD options

The ViewSonic VA2626 is a basic 26-inch LCD that has neither the features nor performance to merit a recommendation. You can find better monitors for less.

VA2026W

 

ViewSonic's VA2026w 20-inch wide-screen monitor offers a simple and refined design. It's nearly all matte black, save for a narrow band of silver at the bottom that houses the on-screen display (OSD) controls. The round, ridged base offers only a tilt...

Aesthetically pleasing cabinet design Simple cable manager

So-so graphics and text performance Tilt-only adjustment

The OSD menu is fairly basic and simple to use.  Buttons labeled 1 and 2, which have a different function depending on the context of the OSD, help a user can get through the monitor setting options without much aid from the user manual

ViewSonic VA2026w LCD monitor

 

The ViewSonic VA2026w isn't a bad display, but other models in its category offer better viewing angles and lower price tags.

Relatively inexpensive; very good text legibility

No height adjustment; limited viewing angle

The VA2026wsports a thin bezel design in black, with silver accents. It features a fairly large circular base that offers little in terms of flexibility. There is no height adjustment and no ability to pivot or swivel, though you can tilt the display...

Viewsonic VA2226w 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor Review

 

Viewsonic has a value monitor that comes in at 22 inches and a price point that should get most gamers to finally move on from the 15-19 inch displays. Read our review to get the highs and lows of moving up in the world!

Image nice and Sharp. Doesnt work very well thoguh.

 

The product is great but as i stated above i don't think buying this product would be best. Im not sure if this is just windows XP, or just my monitor, but it seems like all the monitors from Viewsonic are defects because i called three people and...

The Look of The Monitor itself is great. Slick and clean. The Quality of the picture is very remarkable along with the nce wide-screen look

After awhile the boot screen will disappear as normal, and the monitor will give a message saying 'Out of Range' meaning, if you have extended warranty, you can fix it. If not you can buy a new monitor or you have to run windows in safe mode

ViewSonic VA2026w

 

Being a previous owner of a ViewSonic Monitor, I didn't consider buying anything other than another ViewSonic when I recently upgraded my computer. I chose the VA2026W 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor and it has exceeded my expectations regarding HD images,...

Brilliant HD images, extreme clarity and amazing color

Works great

 

I've had one of these monitors for 6 months with no problems, so when I needed another monitor I just bought a second one. The no glare screen is very nice for long hours of office work.
