4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Picture - DVI Cable Sold Separately, December 17, 2011

This review is from: Viewsonic VA2231WM-LED 22-Inch Widescreen LED Monitor (Personal Computers)

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 originally ordered 2 of these for my workstation at work and found these monitors to be awesome... After using them for about 3months I had to replace the single 24" monitor I had at home with 2 of these... These are just superior to all the other monitors I have used and perform far beyond what you would think by the price.

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.
