What is a LED monitor?
The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. Environmentally-friendly LED backlights provide the following benefits:
- About 50%* less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
- Mega dynamic contrast ratios. Provider deeper blacks and richer colors.
- Environmentally-friendly mercury-free backlight
- Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
- Slimmer design
- Weight reduction
Save Cash and Save the Planet
With its mercury-free backlight and low energy consumption, the ENERGY STAR certified VA2231wm-LED is not only environmentally friendly but also friendly on your electricity bill as well. This can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools, the savings can be as dramatic as $20,000* in five years!
10,000,000:1 MEGA Dynamic Contrast Ratio
One of the great features of VA2231wm-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color. With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp’s ability to dim in order to reproduce darkness. However, with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast. The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality.
Full HD 1080p resolution
The VA2231wm-LED features a 22" (21.5" viewable) widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution is capable of displaying a native Full HD 1080p image. Today, devices that can display Full HD content output are getting more and more common. However, without a native Full HD display, you will not be able to experience the picture clarity and the details of the 1080p content you view.
Pair it with a ViewSonic or Mac computer
One of the key advantages of the VA2231wm-LED monitor is its diverse connectivity options, making it flexible to be paired with a PC or a Mac computer. ViewSonic has recently announced a full line of PC products, including PC Minis and all-in-one PCs. Now you can hook up any Viewsonic PC as well as a MacBook or a Mac Mini to the VA2231wm-LED and enjoy a full 22" (21.5" viewable) widescreen with LED backlight!
VESA mountable
The VA2231wm-LED features a 100mm x 100mm VESA mountable design that allows you to mount it on a monitor stand or on a wall, depending on your specific needs. You can detach the base easily by unscrewing four screws and then mounting the display on its new stand or wall mount.
Eco-mode for up to 35%* energy savings
ViewSonic's proprietary Eco-mode function comes standard with the VA2231wm-LED. When you don't need all of the powerful features the VA2231wm-LED has to offer, you have the option to reduce the monitor's brightness, save energy, save the planet and prolong the lamp life. You can select one of the "Optimize" or "Conserve" options and save up to 35%* energy. Especially under low ambient light conditions, adjusting the brightness will improve visibility by reducing eye fatigue. Reducing brightness will also prolong the monitor's lamp life, improving your return on investment. *Energy savings may vary based on actual usage and other factors.
Industry leading pixel performance guarantee and 3 year limited warranty
One of the aspects that make ViewSonic a market leader in displays is its commitment to quality. LCD panels are produced in factories and as everything else, they may have flaws too. One of the flaws of an LCD panel is a dead pixel, bright or dark. Some panels will have no dead pixels while others will have one or two or more. When LCD display manufacturers build their monitors, they will have the option to use different grade panels with different tolerance levels for numbers of dead pixels. ViewSonic is committed to use the highest grade panels and offer one of the best pixel performance policy in the market. We also back our displays with 3-year limited warranty for your peace of mind.

I purchased this monitor to go along with a Mac Mini (mid-2011 model) and I am overall pleased with it. Here's the 411:
Pros:
- Excellent picture (needed no tweaking out of the box).
- 1080p looks spectacular!
- Integrated speakers (yes they sound tinny, but I didn't want external speakers taking up space on my desk).
- Matte screen (no glare or reflections in a room with lots of windows/daylight).
- Works with a Mac Mini without hassle... truly plug-n-play.
- Deliciously uniform LED backlighting.
Cons:
- No DVI cable in the box.
- Description here on Amazon doesn't tell you there is no DVI cable in the box. Even the instructions that come with the monitor make you *think* there should be a DVI cable included, but if you read the exterior of the box, in very small print, it tells you only one video cable is included (a standard RGB). Heck, the ViewSonic website fails to indicate that a DVI cable is sold separately.
- Stand is steady and solid enough, but jiggles a bit if the desk is bumped.
The lack of a DVI cable is probably why this monitor is ~$20 less than other monitors. If using with a Mac Mini, get one of these: BlueRigger High Speed HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable (6.6 Feet/ 2 Meters)
I'd give this monitor 5 stars if the description were updated to make it manifestly clear that a DVI cable is not included.

I bought this monitor with some high hopes. It would be my first flat panel monitor and it would be the first and highest definition monitor I own. What I can say about this monitor are only great things so far. The picture and colors are very vibrant and clear. Video looked very good (even if it wasn't recorded at the highest quality).
Very easy to connect with the DVI-D and VGA ports. It took me about a minute to get everything set up.
Widescreen-but thats what i prefer.
Not much else to say. It was a very good buy and would possibly get a second for a dual-monitor setup.
