This review is from: Viewsonic VA2231WM-LED 22-Inch Widescreen LED Monitor (Personal Computers)
I purchased this monitor to go along with a Mac Mini (mid-2011 model) and I am overall pleased with it. Here's the 411:
Pros:
- Excellent picture (needed no tweaking out of the box).
- 1080p looks spectacular!
- Integrated speakers (yes they sound tinny, but I didn't want external speakers taking up space on my desk).
- Matte screen (no glare or reflections in a room with lots of windows/daylight).
- Works with a Mac Mini without hassle... truly plug-n-play.
- Deliciously uniform LED backlighting.
Cons:
- No DVI cable in the box.
- Description here on Amazon doesn't tell you there is no DVI cable in the box. Even the instructions that come with the monitor make you *think* there should be a DVI cable included, but if you read the exterior of the box, in very small print, it tells you only one video cable is included (a standard RGB). Heck, the ViewSonic website fails to indicate that a DVI cable is sold separately...Read more

I bought two of these for my computer. As dual monitors they are awesome. I have not had any problems so far.

This monitor would not connect to my iMac or my MacBook pro. I used a Cables to Go DVI-D male/male cable and a Startech MDP2DVI converter. I reset the SMC, and powered up the computer and display both ways all to no avail. The monitor would power on OK but then said no signal. I know that it is a monitor problem because I've since got an Acer monitor (S231HL) and it works fine with the same cable and converter. Amazon paid for return shipping, and picked it up less than 24 hours after I requested a return. Is that service or what?
