ASUS VH226H 21.5-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)(Intro)I have a two year old and as such, I can't play some of the more violent video game console titles that I used to before he was born . Either my son is awake and so I can't have him see me fight aliens and world war II enemies or he is asleep and so the sound of the game is too loud that it will wake up while he is taking his nap. So I figured I'll pick up a small monitor to use with my Sony Playstation 3 just for games and to watch movies/tv shows from my PC as a 2nd monitor in the office. Since my primary reason for picking up this monitor is to play Playstation 3 games, the monitor had to be 1080p (1920x1080 native resolution) to avoid seeing black bars on the top and bottom of the monitor when playing 16:9 aspect ratio games or movies. So far, I am really happy with my purchase.
PROS
- Fast recycle time for games. You can really tell between this monitor and say my Dell 30" monitor I use for photo editing.
- Decent color output. I do wedding photography on my main PC so I know the difference between a great quality monitor and a budget quality monitor but all in all, for a budget monitor, it produces pretty good colors. I would not recommend this monitor for professional photography or videography as this monitor is only 6-bit monitor and so you will not get the full 16.7 million colors that you would get from a high quality monitor.
-HDMI and DVI inputs are seperate. Some budget monitors cut corners but combining the HDMI and DVI ports but this monitor has it seperately so you can have both your PC and HDMI device connected at the same time. I personally have my PC connected to the DVI port and my Sony Playstation 3 to the HDMI port.
-Seems like this monitor has good quality control. All in all, most people including myself seem to receive this monitor with no dead pixels.
-Built in speakers makes it convenient for those with little desk space.
-Very lightweight. I can't believe how little this monitor weighs compared to my Dell 3007WFP. I haven't attended a lan party in years but if I do, I'll definately be taking this monitor with me instead of the heavier Dell 30".
-Fast response rate. My eyes may not be the greatest but I can not see any ghosting during my game play. Movies look great as well.
-Headphone jack. This was the one requirement for me as I need to use headphones when my son is sleeping. Even when you connect an HDMI device, the audio from the HDMI device is passed to the headphone jack.
-Bright LCD. Great if you are working in a bright room.
CONS
-Panel is a 6-bit TN panel so the best for photography. Probably like 95% of monitors today are 6-bit monitors so this is not a deal breaker versus other similar priced monitors as it will also be TN.
-Speakers leave a lot to be desired. At this price, I wasn't expecting much. Average quality. Best to use good quality headphones if you got them for gaming.
-No height adjustment. Not surprising at this price but if you work for long hours in front of your monitor, you may want to purchase a monitor stand.
-Light tends to bleed from the top and bottom of the screen but this is also normal for monitors of this price range. After a while, you don't really notice it as much. It mainly stands out when you are watching a movie where the aspect ratio is not 16:9 and so black borders are created.
-Annoying input notice each time there is a handshake from external device to monitor. The Sony Playstation 3 often drops the signal when going into a game or some other Sony menu options so you see the message "HDMI Source" on the top left each time it does this but it's not a big deal.
-Menu button layout not the easiest to navigate, especially since they are not backlit.

HP W22 22" Wide LCD Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been looking at LCD monitors for some time but most of the previous 20" and larger LCD monitors just didn't look good. I compared the new Gateway 24" to this HP 22" and overall preferred the HP. The HP W22 is bright with excellent contrast. And as a bonus the integral speakers have a reasonably good sound. I don't run games so I cannot comment on how it would perform for those applications but so far for all other apps, it works great. We have a lot of high resolution pics of our kids and they also look great on this monitor.
HOWEVER - When buying an LCD monitor you must understand that these monitors only work well at certain screen resolutions. If you run them at other than their "native resolutions" (in the case of the HP W22 it is 1680x1050) the picture quality suffers greatly. I had to buy a new video card that would support the "native resolution" of this monitor but the end result is well worth it.

Planar PT1910MX-BK 19-Inch 5-Wire Resistive Touch Screen Analog/DVI-D LCD Monitor with Dual USB/Serial Controller and 5-90 degrees Tilt (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these monitors because they are the same technoligy as the ThinkPad T400S. The big difference is the ThinkPad has a horizontal screen and the Planar has a square screen. Not a big deal (just 2 different resolutions). Planar's tech support was great to maximize the touch functions of the screens.

ASUS VE246H 24" LCD Monitor - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For starters this is a terrific monitor at an equally nice price point. Great performance, stout on-screen menu (OSD), setup was a breeze, simple as that.
But about that fatal bug...you use that on-screen menu to change input signal sources, natch. But the problem is that you must be connected to the currently-selected signal source to pull up the menu at all...IOW the menu doesn't live in flash memory somewhere like it does on many monitors (many older monitors at that). If you decide to switch from VGA to DVi, you need to be operating with a valid VGA signal to bring the menu up...otherwise you can't make the change. That's a problem if you make hardware changes to your computer and don't have the former signal source available anymore. What you'll have is a dark monitor waiting for you to pull up a menu that's disabled.
Usually not a problem with today's multi-format graphics cards, but here's the real-world kicker: This monitor doesn't see my Asus EN210's HDMI port. (Also reviewed.) Switched the signal source to HDMI with the OSD, but the card and the monitor weren't on speaking terms. The hitch...you can't change the input source back until you solve the HDMI signal problem. With a dark monitor. Strange design feature on an otherwise excellent piece of gear. Fix that menu glitch and this device is a shoe-in for all five stars.

ViewSonic VG2427WM 24-Inch Widescreen HD LCD Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't get me wrong. Prior to this experience I was one of ViewSonic's number one fans. I have previously worked for an authorized reseller of ViewSonic and have placed literally hundreds of units into service. I've often heard it said, however, that the true measure of a company only comes when you've had the opportunity to see how they support their products. Now that I've had that experience, I'll never buy another one. Here's why:
For Christmas I purchased a VG2427wm monitor for $250. Once it was unwrapped from under the Christmas tree, we were able to use it 3 times prior it failing to detect a signal from any CPU. I contacted support, they confirmed it was defective and despite my request to have the unit replaced with another new unit, I was told my options were to either repair the defective unit or replace it with a refurbished one. I wasn't wild about the refurbished idea so opted for a repair. Unfortunately, on the return trip from ViewSonic, the unit was damaged in shipping and sent back to their attention in California before arriving at my home. At this point I was less excited about having a new, repaired, and now crushed unit than trying a refurbished unit. I requested and was provided an advanced exchange because by this point we has been without a monitor for nearly a month. The advanced exchange was to be shipped 2nd day and I should have it before the weekend. The weekened came and went and no monitor arrived. After reviewing the RMA number on their web site, I found the unit hadn't even shipped. I contacted them AGAIN and was told they could not ship the exchange unit until they received my original unit back at their location. I expressed my dismay at this as they already had the tracking number and could see it was enroute to their facility but was told that this was policy and I had to wait. So much for "advanced exchange". I watched the tracking information and called days after its receipt when I found they STILL hadn't shipped the replacement. I was assured that the floor supervisor would unbox the replacement unit, test it and send it out ASAP. When it arrived at my home, it worked, but it also had an inch long scratch gouged into the display. GRRRRR!!!!!
Back on the phone with ViewSonic. This time they made me complete the paperwork for another advanced exchange along with my credit card number before shipping out another refurbished unit. When I finally received the unit, IT WAS DEFECTIVE!!!!! I'm now 49 days, 10 phone calls and who knows how many hours into this ordeal. It isn't until now that I find out that had the origianl unit failed within 30 days of purchse it would have been replaced with a new unit. Mine sat under the Christmas tree for 3 weeks and failed 21 days after being opened. Now I'm going after a new replacement... no questions. I've had enough.
I finally get escalated to a manager and rehash the whole disaster for literally the 10th time. They eventually agree to replace my unit with a new one BUT they don't have any VG2427wm units available. Instead, they are going to UPGRADE me to a VX2433wm. After a little research, I find that the specs for the VX2433wm are slightly better than the unit I purchased but it sells for $50 less than what I paid and does not include the adjustable base like the VG2427wm. I place ANOTHER call to ViewSonic and plead my case. Any reasonable person would feel entitled to some sort of "compensation" for what is truely the worst customer service experience of my life. ViewSonic sees my replacement of a $250 unit with a $200 unit as fair compensation.
So in the end I paid $250 for the unit, approximately $50 to ship it back for repair, spent 49+ days waiting, made more than a dozen phone calls, a total of 3 trips to the local FedEx store and HOPEFULLY will get a $199 unit with fewer ergonomic features than what I originally purchased. If you're willing to gamble, I just pray you don't end up having to call support.

ASUS MT276HE - 27" Wide LCD Monitors - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this monitor to use specifically for gaming as my current PC monitor just wasn't fast enough for gaming. My main monitor is designed for photography, graphic design or similar uses where color accuracy is more important than speed. Before I go into detail, let me just explain why I gave four stars instead of 5. I feel perfection should be hard to get. Now back to the review. The monitor is well packaged. When I received the monitor, I first tested my PS3 games and no surprise, games look fantastic. I do not really see any ghosting which I do see in my Dell U2410. Contrast and colors look great. Blu-ray movies also looked great. I was surprised at the audio as it was louder and cleaner than I expected for a 3 watt speaker. You can not turn the bass all the way up to the highest setting because the audio starts to distort but it does provide decent bass a couple of notches down. Fortunately my monitor arrived without any dead pixels. The mesh covering the speakers are an interesting choice. Nice if you like flowers but you don't really notice it unless you are paying attention to the detail.
Now the next test was connecting it to my PC. This monitor has three inputs, two digital (HDMI) and one analog (VGA). I tried the HDMI input and no surprise, the colors don't look as great as my Dell U2410 but that is to be expected since this panel is a TN 6-bit panel. It doesn't look bad but it is definitely IPS quality. The screen is a matte screen and not glossy which helps if you work in a room with direct sunlight. Glare sucks on glossy screens and so I avoid them at all cost. Glossy screens do add more contrast but in my opinion, the contrast on this monitor looks amazing.
The monitor runs pretty cool. I used to own a Dell 30" monitor and in the summertime, it made my office get really hot. Since this monitor also has an LED panel, it should use less electricity than a traditional CCFL panel.
The game I play most often is Street Fighter IV (but in a month, that will change when Super Street Fighter IV comes out). I just love how clean and smooth it looks on this screen. There is literally no lag on this monitor. I also tried Unreal Tournament 3 on my PC and wow, the game looks terrific on this monitor. This monitor is definitely my favorite monitor for gaming.
Keep in mind that since the two digital inputs on this monitor are HDMI, you may have a problem initially when you connect your PC to this monitor as it may detect it as an HDTV instead of a PC monitor. You will need to turn off overscan correction on your graphics card settings. This will get rid of the black bars on the side of the screen
The bezel on this monitor is a bit big which means those with ATI graphics cards who want to try out Eyefinity may not want to go with this monitor.
The monitor includes a handy little remote. I am personally not a fan of the credit card sized remote controls which the Asus monitor includes as they tend to get lost easily and due to its size, you can not put a great description of what each of the buttons do. The HDTV does have a slot to hide the remote but I would have rather preferred a slightly larger remote. I sometimes forget what each symbol means but I am sure after a while, I'll get over that.
The monitor includes a 3 year warranty which is rare for computer LCD monitors. Hopefully I won't have to use it but its good to know its there if I need it.
Now for some cons. First of all, I generally like to view my Blu-ray movies at 24 frames per second since that is what movies are generally filmed at. This monitor does not support 24P, or at least when I set it to 24P on my Sony Playstation 3, it loses sync when I play a Blu-ray movie. Since this monitor came out in late 2009, I was expecting it to support 24P. Also the monitor stand can not be tilted. Since I use this as a second monitor, it doesn't line up with my Dell 24" so tilting would have been nice. For the price this monitor goes for, I was hoping it would allow tilting. The volume also does not go low enough. This is a problem because it is in my office and my walls are not thick enough and so I have to wear headphones to make sure I don't wake up my 2 year old son when he is napping. All of the buttons are on the top of the Asus monitor except for the power button. All of the HDTVs in my house have the buttons located in the same section so when I want to power on or off the Asus monitor, I sometimes accidentally reach for the top. I know this is a minor detail but I just wanted to point this out.
Overall I really like this monitor a lot and am happy with my purchase. There are some other features to this monitor which I haven't mentioned yet but its nice that it has a headphone jack for when you want to game at night when everyone in your house is asleep. It has SPDIF output for when you need thumping audio through an audio receiver or a sound bar. I don't expect I'll ever use that but its good to know its there. It is not a very portable monitor but since it doesn't weigh much, you could technically use it for lan parties and such. This monitor is a keeper and I hope it lasts me a long time. If you have any questions, feel free to comment and I will do my best to answer them. If I could give a more accurate score for this monitor, I would rate it a 4.5.

NEC MultiSync 95 19" Monitor for PC and Macintosh Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have two NEC Multisync 95 19 inch monitors. At the time I shopped the entire store to see what the best video picture was. Hands down the Sony flat screen CRT was the best at almost twice the price of the NEC. A close second was the NEC. It was clearly a better picture than everything else in the store. It was more expensive at the time, then it is now.
In a time when everyone is going LCD flat screen, mini slim monitor crazy, I have come to realize that the CRT monitors have a huge edge on picture quality-dollar value. Mating that to the fact that they are the least expensive, and you have a winner. Personally, I don't mind that one foot of real estate being taken up by the back of the monitor, when I can buy a larger unit for less money, and a superior picture. I must admit LCDs have come along way since they were introduced. Then new NEC LCD1725 is a beautiful picture, and the Sony 19 is as well. For the most part LCD pictures are quite disappointing. Even the expensive Plasma screens at ten times the money, don't give you the clarity of the Sony, and are still tweaked out by the NEC.
The difference in size allows me to move the monitor farther away from me, so the miniscule radiation is of no effect.
The thing about the LCDs is that they have a two dimensional quality about them. Some even have a cartoon appearance. It's a fad, but clearly an inferior picture for twice the price.
What does this all have to do with this NEC monitor? Everything. This NEC is an incredible monitor for the money. You would be hard pressed to find anything else in the marketplace that can compare to it. In a Consumer Reports review of monitors, they rated Sony, NEC, and Dell the best.
NEC on their web site, have a full suite of drivers, and software downloads available 24/7.
Well enough monitor talk for now. Hope this helps.

Tenba RS-D30 634-713 Aircase for 30-Inch Cinema Display (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love choices. But if you want to ship a 30" cinema display, as far as I could tell, this was it. And it is not inexpensive! But what an excellent case. The outer is tough, the hard inner shell is strong enough for a baggage handler to jig on and the interior holds the monitor snug and scratch free. I would like to of had closed pouches instead of open ended dividers to hold the cables. I wish it weighed less. It is right at 50 lbs when loaded. To close for airline scales. And it is slightly oversize. The airline allowed it but they could of hit me for big bucks.
It arrived after along international flight with transfers looking literally like new and the contents unscathed. Not bad!

LG E2350V-SN - 23 inch 1080p LED Backlit LCD Monitor ** Open Box** Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This monitor is low cost and lightweight. Adjustment on the stands are limited to tilt. Image quality, sharpness, and contrast are generally good, except for color temperature: the monitor generally appears very "cool", probably due to the LED backlighting. However, it's tolerable even for movies and games. The LED lighting allows for high dynamic range display, which looks impressive next to other monitors. Keep in mind that the high contrast only works for larger regions; text and fine graphics render as they do on a regular display. Still, it's a nice effect for games and movies. The LED lighting also makes the monitor more energy efficient (it stays noticeable cooler than other monitors). Altogether, it's a cheap, nice-looking, lightweight monitor.

Acer G245Hbmid Olympic Edition 24" Widescreen LCD Display Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I won't get into specs and details - you can check those out elsewhere. I will probably just talk more about aesthetics here for the most part. I just wanted to say that I spent about a month or so researching monitors, seemingly day and night. I'm sure some of you know what I mean. My budget meant that I had to stay around the TN panel $200-$300 range. I really wanted 24" also as it ws a good step up for me from my 22" Samsung. I finally chose this Acer.
I actually had the 24" Asus VW246H and the Asus VW 266H sitting on my desk next to this one - those are the three I narrowed it down to. For me there was no doubt: the Acer won hands down. Now, that said, some of that was personal preference because there is a significant difference between them. The Asus models have a matte screen while the Acer has a somewhat glossy screen. While there is always more glare with gloss, for me it is not much of a problem. And the upside is that the colors really POP! After tweaking and adjusting the settings, the color on the Acer was clearly the better of the three and actually looked best out of the box - I didn't even have to adjust the Acer to beat the Asus models. I should say too, that I was not using a professional calibration unit or anything, but just going with my eyes.
Some people may prefer the matte finish screen. I used to. I think that having used an iMac as one of my computers for the last year has caused me to be more used to glossy screens. And not having a window or bright light source in front of my monitor helps a ton.
Two more things I like about this model are the thin bezels (except the lower one which has a kinda of Darth Vader thing going on) and the - for the most part - matte bezel. Many monitors today have a shiny gloss bezel and I don't care for that personally. This model actually has a thin glossy trim on the inner 1/3 of the bezel, the other 2/3 being matte, but it is not very noticeable and actually adds a little style without looking cheap, IMO. I said that the lower bezel looked a little Darth Vadery, but I am overstating it. I had seen the cheaper Acer models (ie. Acer X223WDbd and similar) and feared it would look like that. However, the "cut-outs" on the lower bezel are not nearly as defined on this monitor and I am very happy with it. Of course, if you plan on turning this monitor into portrait mode, then you might need to take the angled lower bezel into consideration. The bezel is also relatively thin which I wanted for a multiple monitor set-up. I don't like the look of the fatter, thicker, ornamented bezels when set side by side (one reason many of the Samsungs and LGs didn't make it on my final short list.)
I don't tend to put much emphasis on the stand and adjustments available on monitors like these. Most people who have done much research at this level realize that your not usually going to get to raise and lower the screen or flip it around 180 degrees. I generally ignore it when a reviewer takes stars away for a lack of adjustments (on monitors like these). You are not paying for adjustments at this level. Never-the-less, as you have probably guessed, it has a little bit of tilt to it, and that's it. It didn't concern me as I immediately put it on an Ergotron NeoFlex LCD mount which I bought here at Amazon through [...]. For the record, I am VERY happy with the NeoFlex. The MX Desk mount would have arguably been better, but it is also MUCH more expensive and the NeoFlex does everything I need with no problem. And for anyone wondering about putting a 24" monitor on the NeoFlex - since they say it is for monitors up to 22" - this Acer is nice and lightweight and has NO PROBLEM on the stand. But that is for another review.
Negatives? Well, the on screen display could use some work, but that is fairly typical also at these levels. That's no excuse - just saying I was not surprised and not worried about it. The auto-set features are decent, and I thought they were better than the Asus auto-sets, but of course a good calibration tool (or a good eye) can usually do you best. The buttons themselves will take a little getting used to as they are positioned under the bezel and are not labeled. After a little playing around though I got used to it and it's all good.
Um.....has a VESA mount, which I had to have - and which not all monitors do have today. Not a single bad pixel I am happy to report. The Asus only had one but it was a red one just up and left of center - right at eye height and I couldn't turn the thing on without seeing it staring at me.
Anyways, this monitor does not have a ton of reviews (I am the first one here I think). But the reviews I have found have all been very good. In fact, maybe all 5-stars. Newegg and TigerDirect both have some reviews and the consensus seems to be, a little glossy, but awesome otherwise. If you are looking for a fairly priced monitor, 24", 1080p, etc. then this is a good one to add to your list. There are always some lemons and horror stories, but that is true with everything - especially when it comes to monitors. If this one makes your short list, find a place with a good return policy - always wise with monitors - and give it a shot. Amazon has always made it easy to return or exchange items, so I bought it here. Had I been able to find it at a local store I might have gone with them to be even safer, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Good luck!

AOC 2770VH1 27-Inch LCD Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful monitor for the color. The first one I got did have a stuck green pixel. Exchanged monitor and replacement is perfect. I also found that the sound wasn't working....Apparently the sound wont work if you are using HDMI. (Called Manufacturer) Don't worry though, the sound is horrible!!! I didn't buy the monitor for the sound quality anyhow. If you buy this and get black lines around the screen you will need to adjust your over scan on your video card to allow the displayed portion to reach the edges of the screen. If you do plan to use this via HDMI you will need to buy a cable as it doesn't come with one. I would definitely buy this monitor again if I needed another. AOC tech support is super friendly and easy to get a hold of too. 1-888-838-6388 USA

Gvision L15AX-JA-452G 15-Inch LCD Touch Screen Monitors (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We needed a low-profile monitor for a podium. This works nicely. Its stand is integrated so it can sit very low to the surface without a stand holding it up in the air. Works very well, but it does have a slight loss of sensitivity to touch in the extreme corners. Over all a very nice product. Another plus is that all cables needed for installation are included - you will need a serial port in your pc.

19IN LCD 1000:1 1280X1024 VP930B-2 Black 2VGA/1DVI-D Tlt/swvl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bottom-Line: I love this display! Sure it took a little getting used, and I wish it had a USB hub, but the ViewSonic "VP930b 19" LCD" is an outstanding value.
I have always been a huge fan of ViewSonic monitors. My love affair with ViewSonic dates back to when I bought my very first ViewSonic, the 17G way back in 1993. To this day, the monitor is still going strong; I have noticed no picture fade or outward jittering or flickering from the screen, and it is on 24/7, even if it now relegated to the server room.
My current flat screen LCD monitor a Hansol Multitech 19 inch LCD has served me well, but I longed for another ViewSonic, so around the middle of last year I started doing research on the differing brands available. I at first found the ViewSonic model I wanted, the Professional Series "VP930b 19" LCD", and compared all other models to it; none stood up and so right after Christmas I purchased the ViewSonic "VP930b 19" LCD."
The Product
The "VP930b 19" LCD" display from ViewSonic is one of the newer breeds of thin-bezel LCD's. The "VP930b 19" LCD" features ViewSonic's progressive ThinEdge design with all-inclusive height, pivot, tilt and swivel adjustments. These features are coupled with ViewSonic's XtremeView wide viewing angles and ClearMotiv 8ms broadcast-quality video response technology ensuring powerful visual performance with pinpoint sharpness, rich vibrant colors, and unrivaled brightness and clarity.
The "VP930b" is ideal for graphic production, medical and financial professionals with its ultra-slim bezel design that enables ergonomic adjustments, multiple-display setups (with two analog and one digital inputs), and digital multiplatform connectivity.
Installation
It would appear that the age of the big, bulky power supply is over, as least as it relates to LCD displays. In other words the power supply is built into the "VP930b," which makes finding a place to plug the unit in a snap. I swapped out the "VP930b" without turning off the computer because I was able to use the same power cord and video cable. Once the display was connected to power and computer, I turned it on at which time it auto-adjusted. It's not really necessary to install the first disc, which contains the Users Guide and driver set, but if you want to take advantage of the really cool pivot feature, you must install the Perfect Suite software, which automatically adjusts the screen from horizontal to vertical and visa-a-versa when you pivot the screen. With Perfect Suite you can also gain access to color, contrast, brightness and other controls, as well as configure and save pre-sets for you individual tastes.
Video inputs and power connections are on the bottom of the display, while the front panel controls are located on the front bottom of the display. The buttons can be a bit confusing at first. The button labeled (1) will gain you access to the Main Menu wherein all manner of monitors controls can be manipulated. The Up and Down button can then be used to move around the menu sub-system, and the button labeled (2) can be used to select menu items while within the menu system. The number (2) button cam also be used to switch between video inputs; e.g. D-sub-1 (analog display 1), D-sub-2, or DVI. The power switch is on the far right, with small LED positioned between the power switch and the number (2) button.
Use
This monitor is bright! Other reviews have commented on the brightness of this display and their words of warning were not misplaced. I like my displays bright, but I have to admit that the VP930b took a lilt getting used to. White is really bright, and until my eyes got used to it, almost blindingly so. Eventually I did tone down the brightness a little in order to work more comfortably.
The optimum resolution for the VP930b is 1280x1024 @60Hz with 32bit color. If you do not set the display to the resolution, the VP930b will remind you, via a popup screen, that you really should change resolutions; really it for your own good. At this resolution the VP930b displays test and graphics shockingly clear and crisp. Be forwarded, if there is flaw in an image it will show up on the screen. After some adjustments for text size, I can report that I very satisfied using the VP930b at 1280x1024.
One of the features I enjoy the most is the pivot functionality of the VP930b. The display will pivot a full 90 degrees from horizontal to vertical. When I pivot the screen it momentarily goes black and then snaps back on with the new orientation. With the display pivoted vertically, I can fit a full page of text on the screen, which is the point; no more scrolling! When I am done editing a document, I simply pivot the screen back to horizontal.
The VP930b also swivels on it base about 90 degrees, and the display will tilt no matter the orientation. Speaking of the base, it is large because of the supporting feet. But again the display swivels sp placing in on my desktop was problem free.
Conclusion
I love this display! Sure it took a little getting used, and I wish it had a USB hub, but the ViewSonic "VP930b 19" LCD" is an outstanding value.

HP 2310e 23-inch diagonal WLED backlit LCD Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
+ Full 1080p HD 23" LED Display
+ HDMI, DVI-D and Display Port
+ Touch Screen controls
+ Amazing design: very thin, very simple and "clean"
+ Controls both for beginners and nerds :P
+ I think it's a good price
+ Very easy to set up. Emphasis on the VERY part.
Cons:
- No integrated speakers and lack of Auxiliary Audio port leaves you with a lot of time to think about how to have audio if you are using this for an Xbox or PS3. I found a way but it was annoying to look for an alternative.
- No VGA port. It doesn't really matter for me, but for some that's a buzz kill.
Summary:
Buy it.
