ViewSonic VX1940w Expert Reviews

ViewSonic's VX1940w marks a new breed of LCD display. While the 19″ LCD has been around for years, we are finally at the point where it is smaller than what many buyers are looking for. The 1280×1024 resolution on 19″ LCDs-the same resol

Great picture and an impressively high resolution at a good price, but with few features

We hooked it up via the HDCP-compliant DVI port (a VGA port is the only other feature you�€™ll find on the sparse rear) and we�€™re pleased to say it required practically no setup to get a good picture. The OSD is clear and full of options, but the defaul...
