This review is from: ViewSonic VA2702W 27-Inch Full HD 1080p Widescreen LCD Monitor with DVI and VGA Inputs - Black (Personal Computers)
This ViewSonic 27" monitor is a wonderful addition to my digital darkroom. I had been running two monitors - one for the image and one for the Photoshop tools. Now with just the ViewSonic there is lots of space to work in and when enlarging an image to 100%, you can see every detail clearly. The colors are superb. The monitor installed without problem. Be sure to adjust the resolution to the full 1920 X 1080 native resolution of the monitor. I am using the DVI hookup. As the other reviewer mentioned, there are no unnecessary features and no speakers. All your investment is going into the incredible color and clarity of the display.

Viewsonic makes excellent monitors, and this one is no exception. The size is perhaps the best format I have ever used. The monitor is bright, clear, and has no dead pixels. I see no ghosting problem with the monitor even with 3ms. It does not have extra un-needed add ons such as USB hubs or speakers. Basically I am thrilled with the monitor, and highly recommend it.

Here are the settings I use that work perfectly for this LCD:
1. Use the DVI cable rather than VGA (which simply won't work for such a big screen).
2. Color adjust -> sRBG rather than other settings to get sharper text (1st button -> color adjust -> 4th button -> 2nd button a few times -> sRGB -> 4th button -> 1st button a few times).
3. If the text are too small for you, use 1440x900 instead (for PC: Control Panel -> Display -> Settings -> 1440x900).
I tried VGA and it was too blurry to read the text. I also found the sRBG color adjustment gave me the sharpness I need for text. To get the best resolution use 1920x1080 if your driver supports it. But I am getting old with decayed vision, and 1440x900 is perfect for me.
With these settings, VA2770W is as sharp as all the smaller LCDs I used in the past, and provides extra space that makes reading text much easier!
