This review is from: ViewSonic VA2223wm 22-Inch 16:9 1080p LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

"Gorgeous" is the right word for the display. No dead pixels, beautiful widescreen and an unobtrusive black frame and stand.

It's basic; no USB ports or other bells and whistles, and the speakers are not any better than your ordinary laptop speakers.

There are some little annoyances, beginning with Amazon's goofy tech details list for this item and continuing on to ViewSonic's poor documentation. I haven't had any problems with the on-screen display or blackouts, but the procedure to change the volume on the monitor speakers is not intuitive at all and is not documented correctly in the user manual file.

But the beast looks very good on the desk, and has a lot of real estate for multiple windows or for watching a widescreen DVD.

I certainly wouldn't pay more for an HDMI port, because the speakers are not what you would use if you often watch DVDs on your computer.

This review is from: ViewSonic VA2223wm 22-Inch 16:9 1080p LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

I bought this monitor to replace a 10 year old 18" LCD. The monitor was easy to assemble, the color and size are nice, very nice. It took a little tweaking to get the color right on my Mac Mini, but once done the picture is quite stunning.
There are a couple of downsides, hence the 4 stars. The monitor does support DVI, but does not come with a DVI cable only VGA. Luckily, I had a spare DVI cable. Second, the speakers are not really good. They are fine for normal computer use, but if listen to a lot of music or movies on your computer, you will probably not like the built-in speakers.
All in all, a great monitor for the price. I recommend it.

This review is from: ViewSonic VA2223wm 22-Inch 16:9 1080p LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

I've had the VA2223wm for about a week now. Loved the Amazon price and super saver shipping first off but the monitor is gorgeous! As a replacement for a 12+ year old Sony 17" that is dying, this is going "wide-screen". The image is sharp and bright as it should be. My only complaints are that it goes through a screen setting mode at start-up that obscures the bios screens from my PC, and that only the old-fashioned VGA cable was provided (no DVI cable). At $159 I guess I can't complain too much.
