5.0 out of 5 stars Nice monitor, September 13, 2008

By	C. Bueker "pragmatic consumer" (Main Street, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nice, sharp, bright and colorful display. The higher resolution makes a big difference and my Vista Aero graphics never looked better. This is a nice size for a desktop monitor for business and gaming applications. It was easy to set up and it looks really sharp in my home office.

I haven't hooked up the speakers, so I can't speak for the sound quality. If I could figure out how to work them into my 5.1 surround sound system I would, because getting two existing speakers off of the desk would make for a nice, clean look and give me a little more desk space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Low-Cost 2nd Display, November 21, 2008

By	Cheri A. Moe "Cheri Moe" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wanted to purchase an inexpensive display to use with my 24" iMac. I use CS4 quite extensively, and really needed some extra space for menus. I initially purchased a HANNS HW173 for a mere $80, and thought for that price it would be fine for my purposes. The display was horrrible and I ended up taking it back and purchased the ViewSonic VX1962wm. The display is crystal clear at 1680x1050. The colors are rich and true without calibration. I highly recommend this monitor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture, setup not so much, September 5, 2009

By	S. Barrett (Santa Cruz, CA) - See all my reviews

I bought this monitor to use initially with an older desktop running Windows XP and later to use as an extra monitor for a laptop. The pluses are a sleek design and exceptional high resolution display, particularly when set at the recommended 1680 x 1050 resolution.

Installation was a bit more problematic. I'm not a novice, but neither am I a tech guru, however, I can follow reasonable instructions. For this Plug and Play monitor, the instructions are minimal and the illustrations practically non-existent. I managed eventually to hook up all components, but when using the installation disk I discovered a missing (or outdated) Installshield msi file. Viewsonic Support was no help at all, so I finally Googled a fix and downloaded a file I hoped would work. It did, and the rest of the installation was smooth.

The monitor has built-in speakers. While not loud enough for a stand-alone operation, they work very well with my existing Boston Acoustics and sub-woofer.

I would definitely recommend this monitor for a quality picture at a bargain basement price.
