View Sonic VX1940w 19" LCD HD Widescreen
Purchased this monitor from PC World, it cost me £150, which was a bargain indeed, its super powerful performance and video response of 2ms, puts it top of the chain, with many added features such as 1680 x 1050 HD Resolution and 3000:1 dynamic contrast ration.
The monitor itself is a slim stylish bezel design without taking up valuable desk space... The high neck and floating head design accentuate the visual experience, although you can also but a wall of desk ark to completely remove the monitor from the desk fact. The design gets a 10/10.
Another bonus to this monitor is that it is Windows Vista Verified, and has many security features such as, the Kensington Security port, which deters theft, and prevents your settings from been altered, very useful, if you have a family with touchy fingers.
Setting up the monitor was a breeze, the onscreen menu, is a simple tool, and very user friendly, at first though I found the set up buttons on the monitor itself was a little confusing, but after a few goes you can easily get the hang of them. Buttons get a 7/10.
I use many graphic software tools, and pantone colours are clearly visible as per the final print page, on a standard monitor you get a colour differentiation from the final print, but this monitor displays an almost identical copy on the screen, High Definition really makes a difference to your documents and been widescreen also enable you to put two documents on the screen, side by side. So the colour aspect gets a 9/10.
One of the biggest uses of computers is gaming, this monitor has a video response time of 2ms, basically this is the time it takes each frame to work, I played a game called Halo, which needs fast rendering in order for full enjoyment and this monitor did not let me down, the refresh rate was incredible, the graphics themselves were, out of this world, Halo is a bit of a gore game and the detail and colours, were just simply almost realistic like, and has put all my other monitor purchases to shame. Graphics and rendering get a 10/10.
I have listed below some of the technical features, so you don't have to search, these are, which I feel most important, you don't have to read further, these are just for reference only. I have had a few of view sonic products and this has to be far the best, I would defiantly recommend purchase, overall the ease of use, the graphics and the colours, not mentioning the use of links to your TV and video etc...
View sonic have won many awards for excellence, and this monitor perceives there competence, confidence and design elegance.
This gets a 10 / 10 Guaranteed.
Thanks for reading :-)

...different models, I found the Viewsonic VA2216w on offer for about £110 including VAT. This seemed great value for a new 22" widescreen monitor, perhaps the quality would lack? Impressed by what what I'd seen, I ordered it promptly. Viewsonic are monitor specialists so one would imagine they make good quality products. Friends and family of mine are quality connoisseurs and prefer brands like Iiyama, Sony and perhaps Samsung, but I like to find the ... ...packaging, I was really impressed by the external design. The monitor is built with black and silver plastic and is quite thin and lightweight, the plastic border of the screen is narrow. The bezel stand is also black and is fairly sturdy yet inconspicuous, allowing up and down angle movement. I think the physical design looks great and is the best of any monitor I've owned, it also nicely matches the rest of my PC. Starting up the screen with my ...

**** Viewsonic VA2216w****
When i got my new computer it didn't come with a screen so instead of using the one that came with my old one (i say old but was about a year old)i decided to treat myself.
The first place i looked was Tescos direct-as i figured with ecoupons ,staff discount and a few other offers being on that i would get a good deal and i think i did.
This was very easy to set up ,just had to connect to the back of my computer and ... ...start guide but i didn't need this as it was so easy.
**First impressions**
My first thought of this were good-this is an impressive 22 inch wide screen monitor ,which for a computer is perfect!!!It is also a flat screen so you can put it on the wall,or if its on a desk it wont take up much room.
After using it for a while i can say that the graphics on this are excellence- nothing worse playing a game and the graphics aren't very good.Screen ...

Advantages: everything, its a great monitor high resolutions and picture quality Disadvantages: i spend more time on the computer now haha
...I found the VA2216w from ViewSonic on offer in PC world for an appealing £99.00 so popped along to my local store and had a look. Compared it to its big brother 24" monitor and to be honest I couldn't find any real reason to spend the extra £40 on the 2" bigger screen.
Quality and resolution wise the 22" was excellent, the max resolution that the screen lets you run is 1680 x 1050 and that's what I run it at, this allows you to have 2 pages / windows ... ...power supply

Boasting a dynamic contrast ratio of 2000:1, a high brightness level of 300cd/m² and fast video response time of 5ms, this large screen monitor displays sharp text and crystal-clear graphics with vivid colours. The native 16:10 aspect ratio lets you be more productive while working in multiple applications or viewing two documents side-by-side. The new eye-catching slim bezel design saves precious desktop real estate and affords every room an extra touch of style. The VA2216w is the perfect choice for education and government users, small and home office applications and those looking for a high-quality, good performance ratio widescreen LCD monitor.
