ViewSonic VX1962wm 19-Inch LCD Monitor

Comment: I needed something in this size, with built-in speakers.
This monitor was easily Plug-&-Play, and easy to modify regarding brightness/contrast, etc.
Very Pleased!

Comment: I needed a new monitor to replace my aging box type. I am very pleased with my purchase. This one is very clear and I was happy with the easy set-up. I would recommend this to any one in need of a great monitor. As expected Amazon shipped quickly. Would definitely buy again!

Comment: This monitor is awesome, i'm sooo happy i picked two of these up for my dual monitor set up. My brother has a 19inch Westinghouse but doesn't run at the high resolution that mine do, the difference is very noticeable. these monitors look so good watching high definition movies, windows 7 looks amazing, i'm just very happy with the performance and the quality of these monitors. They come with a 3 year warranty which is nice, the speakers suck but what do you really expect? If you are like me and like to bump music from your computer you probably already have a nice set of speakers. I highly suggest these monitors over a lot of ones.

Comment: I bought this monitor to use initially with an older desktop running Windows XP and later to use as an extra monitor for a laptop. The pluses are a sleek design and exceptional high resolution display, particularly when set at the recommended 1680 x 1050 resolution.

Installation was a bit more problematic. I'm not a novice, but neither am I a tech guru, however, I can follow reasonable instructions. For this Plug and Play monitor, the instructions are minimal and the illustrations practically non-existent. I managed eventually to hook up all components, but when using the installation disk I discovered a missing (or outdated) Installshield msi file. Viewsonic Support was no help at all, so I finally Googled a fix and downloaded a file I hoped would work. It did, and the rest of the installation was smooth.

The monitor has built-in speakers. While not loud enough for a stand-alone operation, they work very well with my existing Boston Acoustics and sub-woofer.

I would definitely recommend this monitor for a quality picture at a bargain basement price.

Comment: I really like how things look on this monitor. The speakers are adequate. The monitor controls are unobtrusive, but feel a little cheap. They work just fine, though. Mine came with both digital and analog cables.
