ViewSonic VX2250WM-LED 22-Inch (21.5-Inch Vis) Widescreen Full HD 1080p LED Monitor with Integrated Stereo Speakers

I bought this monitor because I wanted a 22-inch monitor and do not want to spend over $ 200.

Initial impressions.

This is lightweight. Very light. I was able to keep the monitor in one hand / arm and use your other hand to define the base and connect the DVI cable and power without much effort. The base is made of plastic and feels cheap. That was my first reaction when wrapped base. Once I had it on display that did the job. This combination makes the monitor does not wobble easily sits on a solid table / table, keep this in mind. (My desktop is very tough, so this was not a problem.) Comes with a VGA / DVI, which was a pleasant surprise.

I'm a programmer.

This monitor came to my workplace and how they came immediately replaced one of my monitors and worked with him all day. It was easy on the eyes and I could see myself using this as my daily schedule monitor. He also took another look at my old Dell monitor because this monitor has a big contract and it was great. Images and text looked good on the screen. At the end of the day I realized that this monitor emits very little heat, very nice. If I had my purchase decision based on this experience, would have been a keeper.

I am researching web / print design.

Here is where I have a problem with the monitor. I'm working on a website and print designs and colors need to accurately reproduce on screen. I know that all LCD monitors change color saturation / contrast when looking at the monitor at an angle, however, I realized that when I look at the monitor directly, the color is very washed out for me not faithfully reproduce the color on the angle to produce the color contrast / saturation of the best (or close to it). Normally I would not care for him, but to look for accurate color. I played with the monitor's brightness / contrast / color and that does not solve the problem. I joked with my color settings and desktop Nvidia could not solve the problem. Finally I compared this with another LCD monitor 22 inches and more than confirm my conclusions.

Conclusion.

If you are thinking of buying this monitor for normal use, ie, surf the web document editing, watching movies, then by all means, do not hesitate to buy it is a good monitor for the price. As a regular user / programmer, I would give this monitor 4 stars. As a printer, web designer / I would give this monitor 3 stars. Since I have to use it in design mode, so I could not keep the monitor, and he returned.
