I’ve owned several viewsonic monitors over the years and always liked them. This gorgeous new 23 inch widescreen 1080p monitor with speakers replaces a slightly older 20 inch viewsonic that I really liked.
I’m not sure what all to say about this. The 1080p picture is full HD of course. It was easy to set up, it has inputs for both DVI and older VGA cables.
The picture quality is great, nice color, good sharpness.
On screen controls are easy to use.
And I’m not an audiophile or into expensive sound systems, so the built in speakers are just what I need.
The physical characteristics of the monitor are nice too. The stand pops into place easily, the inputs are easy to reach and connect, and the stand has an easy-to-use tilt mechanism.
I can’t think of a thing not to like about this.
I’m impressed with the monitor but I’d be more impressed if it (as most others do) would ship with the digital cord rather than just the standard VGA one. Other than that I’ll be back in a week to follow up and give my impression of it’s game and video response.
Well, it’s not one week yet, but here goes. Highest resolution is indeed 1920×1080 at 60Hz. I do wish it would do 75Hz as playing a TV stream from my WinFast card has a touch of flicker at full screen. I don’t blame the monitor for that as the card is an old analog one and I’m still not using a DVI cable. This is also an older computer (ASUS P4PE 2.67GHz 2G RAM using an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS)
The install CD/DVD has glitches in XP Pro. Some times it just hangs, not sure why. Sometimes going away for a bit then coming back is called for. Once time I had to reboot. But the drivers have been stable so far.
Viewing angle is as expected with LCDs: Nothing out of the ordinary.
Horizontal: Visible from steep angles although the color will shift (darken)
Vertical: A pronounced shift in brightness from off dead center.
Initial setup was a breeze, but I had to resort to Nvidia Control Panel for fine tuning the color and contrast.
The blue LED is annoying at night. You can read by it! What I do is take a bit of electrical tape and stick that over the LED.
Playing with the monitor speakers (I’m an audiophile): well, er.. they have mid-range but lack on treble and bass. I don’t see any adjustment other than volume and mute. The speakers are back/side firing so if you stick the monitor in a hutch (like I do) then they will get muffled. They might be better in a cube or in a corner. It is possible they need a few hours to break in (most speakers need time to break in). Right now I have them playing off my iPod Nanno. Then again I didn’t buy this for a speaker system. Frankly I have never heard a good speaker in any monitor.
All in all I’m happy with this monitor. Still haven’t played Unreal or Half Life with it.
Recently got this monitor at my job. The 16×9 ratio takes a little getting used to as my other widescreen monitors have been 16×10 – doesn’t sound like much but I definitely notice the difference.
I just hooked it up out of the box without installing any software and it works fine for work. I don’t use the speakers.
One large drawback of this monitor compared to others I’ve owned is the lack of height adjustment. That may be somewhat “normal” when you get over the 22″ size, but I definitely miss the adjustable height. As it is I’m back to stacking things under it to get it to the right height.
Anyway it’s nothing to write home about, but it works well enough.
thanks !! very helpful post!
