ViewSonic VA2226w 22-inch Wide LCD Computer Monitor (21.6 Viewable) Digital/Analog Reviews
After years of a 17" CRT this monitor is impressive. My first flat screen monitor. Very clear, easy to read text, with bright colors. It worked right out of the box. I'm very satisified with both the price and performance.
Purchased the ViewSonic because I have had excellent results with their professional series. I have not tested the unit with a digital hookup, so there may not be any improvement with that option anyway.
Having said all that, if you are not doing critical graphics or photo processing and only need it for viewing documents or web surfing, then this unit hooked up with the D-Sub will be excellent. Bottom line reads that this unit is very good for general monitor use and excellent for the price.
Also, the digital connection would require an adapter. First impression, out of the box, is that it is a nice unit with a smaller footprint than the pro series.
I'm not sure what the engineers at ViewSonic were attempting to accomplish (lower construction cost to meet lower retail price)., but if you are installing a digital connection in the unit, why put one in it that requires most PC/Notebook users to not only purchase the digital cable but some adapter as well(NOT noted in any pre-sales info, BTW). The picture is somewhat over bright resulting in some washout, mostly at the bottom of the screen in my example, if left at the factory default settings.
Another reason for the ViewSonic purchase was the issue of dead/bright pixels - I had none in my pro version; however, this unit has one bright greenie on the left side (warranty covers replacement if four or more). First surprise upon installation is that it only comes with a D-Sub connecting cable, no digital cable.
My TV just gave out right after I bought this, so it is nice to play games at 1920x1080, REALLY nice. I have my Xbox 360 elite HDMI hooked up with a DVI converter as well as an optical output to my 5.1 surround sound system. Shipping was flawless, Bill Me Later was great.
great color and good blacks. It'd be tough to find a better monitor at this price. would buy again.
Both are great. This is the second Viewsonic monitor that we have bought. I would recommend this monitor to anyone that wants a high quality product for a reasonable price. The wide screen is the best for the gamer in the family, or just showing off the pictures I have taken.
