CNET Editor's rating: 6.4 out of 10
Reviewed by CNET Labs
Review date: 11/7/06

The good: Relatively inexpensive; built-in speakers; stylish design.

The bad: Mediocre performance; height not fully adjustable; limited video connectivity.

The bottom line: The Viewsonic VX2235wm isn't the best performer and it's not packed with extras, but it's worth a look, thanks to its size and relatively low price.

Product brief - ViewSonic VX2235wm 22" Monitor
Hide

Description: The ViewSonic VX2235WM is a 22 in, flat panel computer monitor. Compared to other flat panel monitors on the market, it is inexpensive at around $290. It has a built-in set of stereo speakers. This unit features a 1680x1050 native resolution. Weighs 13.2 lbs.

Pros: Has 1680x1050 resolution, which is higher than some similarly priced monitors. By way of comparison, the average cost of a product with this high a resolution is $350. Also, this monitor has 16:10 aspect ratio, which is more favorable than some similarly priced monitors. In fact, the average cost of a product with this favorable an aspect ratio is $470. Reduce the clutter on your desk by using this monitor's built-in speakers. Its wide viewing angle (170 degrees) is useful whenever the screen is being viewed by more than one person at the same time. Accepts DVI input, which allows for greater signal clarity than traditional VGA.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A flat panel monitor, suited for those who want a high-end display for movies, presentations, or design work. The 5 ms response time of this screen makes it ideal for fast-moving games and for watching movies.

Value: In view of its inexpensive price, this monitor has great features for the money. In terms of viewable size, flat panel monitors having similar viewable size have an average cost of about $360.

Suggestions: (1) Before purchasing an LCD monitor, consider visiting your local store for a live demo to ensure that its overall image quality, color, and sharpness meets your expectation. (2) Since this monitor is DVI-capable, you might want a DVI-enabled graphics card in your PC to connect with it -- this will pass the digital video signal directly without converting it to analog, making for better performance.
