ViewSonic VG2230wm

 

Money can't always buy you love, and ViewSonic's VG2230wm proves the theory.

DVI and VGA ports are useful

Lack of HDCP provokes perturbation

The VG2230wm does rise to the top of the heap in DisplayMate, however, showing no difficulties with the utility’s various test screens. Prominent backlight seepage along the top and bottom edges of the screen, though, isn’t anything to brag about. And...

Viewsonic VG2230WM

 

Over the last year, widescreen monitors have a preferred choice due to their larger aspect ratios (16:10), and resolutions (1440x900, 1680x1050). These specifications are beneficial for consumers as it gives them a wider screen area to work with, and...

ViewSonic has hit a home-run with this monitor. It is priced at Rs. 27,000 and comes with a 3 yr warranty. Overall it offers great VFM with its exceptional color output and sharpness.

ViewSonic's VG2230wm posted admirable scores on our text and graphics tests. Our panel of testers particularly praised the monitor for its excellent balancing of color and for its accurate rendering of text documents.

Fully swiveling base Height adjustment

Wire bolt to lock monitor stand So-so speakers

Nonetheless, this monitor is a serious contender for a workplace or home setup. It's reasonably priced ($319 as of October 9, 2007), has a thoughtfully designed cabinet, and provides eye-pleasing performance

Does everything I want it to do.

 

I got this monitor refurbished. I must say it's a very nice monitor. I have a Samsung here, a 22" widescreen, and I love it, but this monitor has an even brighter picture, and it doesn't wash out. I loved my Samsung, and bought the Viewsonic just to...

Great brightness and contrast

Piano black...yuck...large bezel

Consumer review by:

Great Monitor for the money

 

My cube is right next to a sunny windown, so maybe my contrast remark is a little harsh, but the no HMDI input is a bummer. Other than that, great screen.

Big Screen, Looks Nice

Not many video inputs, and could have better contrast

Consumer review by:

It is a beautiful monitor

 

I have spent countless hours reading reviews on cnet and other sites looking for a 22" LCD monitor and I narrowed it down to this one. I was prepared to spend $300.00 on a nice 22 and when I found this for $245.99 (on clearance and no shipping fees),...

No dead or stuck pixels, very professional looking, great bezel, sharp and crisp images

not a lot of video inputs. Just the DVI and VGA

ViewSonic VG2230wm

 

Bought this monitor to play games on (playing top games with the best graphics equip on vista) and this screen is perfect. although its no 28" this thing deff. is worth the price. bright as can be, sharp images, fast response time (no blurry imaging...

Bright and vivid colors, great size, good resolution. excellent rotational / positional adjustment of the actual monitor

none, i guess it could be bigger.. :)

ViewSonic VG2230wm

 

So far, looks like this monitor will be a keeper. A nice 1680x1050 resolution on a 22 inch panel that can be turned and twisted in many directions (no sideways tilt, however, which I don't use anyhow). The only problems I saw with it were the stock...

DVI/VGA support, Height and Rotation both changeable, Customizable Tilt, Vivid Colors

Has a little light bleeding through the bottom edge of the monitor, no usb, controls kinda hard to get used to

Consumer review by:

ViewSonic VG2230wm

 

I looked at every monitor on the market, searched every electronics store and read every review before deciding on this monitor. This monitor looks much bigger on my desk than it did in the store, I love it. I am convinced I made the right choice...

Hugh monitor, beautiful colors, sharp text even with my old Dell computer, no dead pixels, easy to install, great stand. This baby has it all

None

ViewSonic VG2230wm

 

I do a lot of work on a computer and I find that this monitor has clear type, sharp contrast, excellent color rendition, a fast refresh rate and anything you could ask a monitor to be.Your video card has to handle the preferred resolution Viewsonic...

Plenty of Real Estate, clear, great color, excellent design, good price, great company. I come from a 19 inch Viewsonic P95f+, I would say this monitor is definately worth the move

You might have to upgrade your video card. To some people, there might be a little adjustment. It is definately bright at stock settings. But adjustment is easy enough
