ViewSonic VX2235WM 22 inch LCD Monitor

The monitor arrived in great condition, in a timely manner. Included was a quick start disc and the necessary cables to hook up the monitor to a number of different devices. The big item missing was a manual to explain what the buttons on the front of the monitor do. This is kinda necessary for us non technology types. The quality of the picture is great, however the speakers are a little tinny. This is a very, very minor fault. All in all the purchase was a positive experience.

I've had the ViewSonic monitor for about three weeks, being a 22" monitor I wasn't expecting the view to be that great but it turned out to be a excellent view. The color is clear, it has a sleek look and went with my office setup great. I feel like I'm watching my own flat screen TV. Picture screen color is outstanding. I'm happy with the buy and the price I paid.

This streamline monitor is all that it claims to be. Bright, Vivid and Crisp in color and appearance. The 22" wide screen is also nice having, especially when used for designing purposes. The silver and gloss black color make it very attractive for today's technological motive. I am very pleased with this monitor and glad I bought one.

so far, I think the monitor is great and at a very low price. No problems so far.
The cons could be that it came in a very big box....I cannot carry it with me ....I need to travel to another country and is dificult to carry, has no handle and the box is too big....But hey, that is just a con for me ! regarding just the monitor, es GREAT

i like the smoothness of the picture.I personally use this monitor for multi-tasking and video gaming.have had no problems and would suggest this to anyone looking for a high quality,durable,and stylish monitor.

I've used 17" to 21" LCD monitors at work for years (some good, some bad, and some plain ugly). So I knew what I wanted when I bought the Viewsonic VX2235WM.
See, I'm a self confessed Viewsonic junkie. Back in 1999 I bought a 21" P815 Professinal CRT Viewsonic. Not inexpensive - just under a grand, but worth every penny. The footprint of this beast was measured in acres, but oh the beautiful .25 dot pitch glory!
But now its time to replace it. I know how painful it can be to use a lower end LCD 6 hours a day, and as I started my search I only looked for 22 inchers. But the specs of the viewsonic, especially the 1900 x 1050 resolution are what sold me.
But not all is perfect.
I upgraded my video card (wanted DVI out) and installed the new drivers. Then, in a moment of weakness, I inserted the CD-ROM that came with the monitor. Killed the new drivers I had just installed. Looked like cr@p. Do NOT install anything off that CD unless you must have the Parrot screensaver.
This model has a silver insert in the base which is actually handy for paper clips and post-it notes.
The OSD is classic Viewsonic and easy to use if you have ever set up a monitor to your vision/taste. It looked pretty darn good right out of the box.
To find a better performing 22" LCD, you would have to spend $100-$150 bucks more. The final endorsement - my buddy saw mine and ordered one that night.

Foolishly, I purchased two of these monitors since I wanted to have identical monitors for use with my dual DVI outputs on my Video Card. I originally purchased this model monitor because of it's size and Viewsonic's supposedly solid reputation with monitor manufacturing. After a year of normal use, a 1/4" vertical line appeared on the right hand side of the screen. I originally thought it was the video card dying, but after I tried it on several other computers the same line was present dictating that it was a problem with the monitor.

I called Viewsonic technical support went through some tests and the tech claimed it might be the DVI cable. Tried different cables, no go. I was determined to get an RMA but didn't want to be without a monitor for a while, so I purchased a 2nd one thinking I could use while the other was in repair and then have dual monitors on my PC after the first was fixed.

I was hoping the defect in the 1st one was a unusual for Viewsonic. I purchased a used one on ebay. After hooking it up, this one had a thin horizontal line on the upper portion of the screen.

I was going to send it back to the purchaser, but then he talked to Viewsonic and got me an RMA # for this one. I sent it in and now I am waiting here over 3 weeks and IT IS STILL IN REPAIR. Called customer service, they said I needed to wait 15-21 BUSINESS days for the repair. What kind of service is that???

First the build quality on these monitors is complete trash, their technical support worthless, and the RMA processing, the worst I've ever seen from any electronics company.

You would think viewsonic has been doing this long enough to have good customer service and produce decent products. I can't believe I was dumb enough to buy a second one of these. I'm sure within a year's time, I'll be seeing some more vertical and horizontal lines.

Stay away, complete trash.

I saw it on Ebay and bid on it,won the bid and I'm very happy with It. The people were wonderful to work with and I enjoyed working with them and hope to do it again.
The shipping was great and the time I got it was fast.

Hope to see something again to bid on.

Its a great monitor an got excellent deal, would buy from e-bay an this seller again. Most places sell this monitor for 149.00 or more so 76.00 was great.

It is a verry nice product, works great as expected from a Viewsonic monitor.
This particular monitor was in a little rougher shape than I expected But it worked Great for a month. Then it started having problems...
I Now have two 1-pixel thick line running from top to bottom on the screen.
One on the left 1/4" in & one on the right 2" in (at least it not down the middle where most viewing is done) The minor dent in the screen was probally the previous owner mad at the screen problem - go figure.
I use the moniter on a work PC so I'm not gaming or watching video...
I got the monitor for a resonible price on a used item - should have payed a lettle less with the current problems - But thats the risk you take buying used computer stuff. You never know if its Junk...Remember it is used and may be at End Of Life
Never pay more than 50% (with shipping) of original or current new product value on a used PC item. Expect around 10-15% of used items to be non-functional within a short period of time.
Its a gambel unless it came from a store where you could return the item or expect a rebate or rrefund of part of your money.

Could not be any happeir with this product!!
A great price and a fantastic product!!
thank you!!
