This is my third Viewsonic monitor. I actually bought the VG2021m several months ago and it is working just fine. However, I wanted to try out a large widescreen monitor so I bought the VX2435wm monitor. This monitor is out of sight. It is extremely colorful. I love the widescreen display as I am in the IT field and often have several applications open at one time.

While I'm still in the process of building a new computer and thus may come back and edit this review, but so far I am generally pleased.

I bought this because of the HDMI port, as well as all the other video jacks this has. I have a PS3 so I wanted another display to be able to connect it to.

I do want to say that my first video card had issues with this monitor. It was an ATI Radeon 850. If the monitor went into standby, it would not wake up. I remedied this by just turning off the power saving options in Windows.

Since then I have built a brand new system which is powered by an Intel 2.66 duo-core CPU, and a HIS Radeon 2900 XT, which is fully HDCP compliant, and possibly why the old ATI card had issues when connected DVI-HDMI.

Compared to my old Viewsonic this monitor seems much brighter as well as having better colors. I haven't seen any ghosting yet, but again I've really only ran Titan Quest & 3DMark.

The only CON about this monitor was the price which is due to having the HDMI port.

I love the Viewsonic 2435, but the recommended resolution yields the text too small for my taste. I use a resolution of 1280 by 768, full screen for best combination or resolution and text size. Ideally, they would maximize the resolution with larger text size.
