Samsung may have stolen some of Viewsonic’s thunder in the LCD monitor market, but Viewsonic still makes quality products. Very sharp text, excellent colors and black levels. Unlike many LCD monitors, this thing looks stunning when connected to consoles. I tested it with my Xbox 360 and was wowed at just how incredible it looks. No blurriness or jaggy edges as you usually get with lower resolution console games on natively high resolution monitors. It looks so much better than my 40″ 1080P Bravia that I am considering getting another one just for my consoles.
All around great monitor for a great price.

I was using a 27″ TV monitor as a PC monitor. When it burned out I put the old PC monitor back on the PC and my wife say she was having trouble seeing the pictures or games she was playing. So I went to Ebay and found a pc monitor without speakers which I wanted. I won the bid and payed for it. A couple of days later the seller email me and told me they were out of the pc monitors. So came to Amazon and found just what I wanted a 22″ widescreen LCD monitor with speakers for the same price ebay was selling theirs without speakers. My wife is very happy with the PC monitor and she is amazied with the picture quality. Now its even harder to get her to stop playing games and go to bed. Thanks Amazon.

The monitor itself is excellent. Installation was easy and only took a matter of minutes. The screen on start up displays a message that to obtain maximum resolution adjust the graphic settings to 1920 x 1080. My graphic card doesn’t enable that setting, and I have been unable to acquire a 6 x 6 1/2 graphics card that will satisfy that requirement. As it is the monitor is fine and has reasonable resolution. The disappointment is in knowing that the resolution could be better. That is not the monitor’s fault.

I bought this monitor a few months back, and I have been pleased so far. It offers great performance, looks great, and for the price, you can’t beat it. I highly recommend it.

I purchased this monitor to supplement a new MacBook. I hooked it up with a DVI adapter and it works wonderfully. The screen is BIG, and clear and generally very good. It was an excellent monitor for the price.
One benefit touted by this monitor was that it is has built-in speakers, though I am not too impressed with this aspect. They are tinny and not very loud. Rather than facing the front of the screen, the sound comes from somewhere in the back, which seems like failed engineering to me. They might work if you have nothing else, but for permanent speakers, I would recommend getting some nice external ones.
Besides the speakers, the monitor is great. Buy one.

The ViewSonic VA2231WM 22 inch monitor offers a beautiful picture, great resolution, 1920 x 1080 native, relatively poor speakers (but if you cared about sound quality, you would have a separate set of descent speakers anyway). It comes with BOTH a DVI cable, and a VGA cable; plus a cable to support directing your sound output into the monitor’s speakers. The base was really easy to attach without tools; all other setup was trivial too.
If you’re getting by with speakers that cost less than $20, then you’ll be happy with the space savings of the built in speakers. If you “need” high quality sound, then just leave the speaker part of this monitor unplugged, you’ll still come out better off (and you won’t see the speakers anyway).
The performance of this monitor seems great statistically, although I have it hooked to my laptop via a Targus docking station (via DVI) that connects via USB to the computer, I’m sure that I can’t get all that stellar performance this way, but that’s not it’s purpose for me.
This monitor is highly recommended, it has a great price here on Amazon.com. Buy one for yourself.
