ViewSonic VX2233wm 22-Inch LCD Monitor

The "True HD 1080p" is probably this display's main selling point. The only HD source I had handy was an Xbox 360 with VGA output and a copy of Halo 3. The image quality was excellent and edege-to-edge with no black bars or image distortion. As an added bonus, the HD resolution requires a very sharp .248 dot pitch -- perfect for day to day use with text. The downside of True HD 16:9 is that the viewable height is only 10 and 5/8 (the shortest of any 22' LCD I've looked at) as opposed to a full 11 inches or more for viewing a two-page layout WYSIWYG.

The monitor installs easily and is automatically recognized by XP as a Plug and Play Monitor. The only advantage to installing Viewsonic's driver package (that I could tell) was the addition of a color-calibrated profile -- which didn't seem to make any difference.

I bought this for $200 which was the best deal for the specs. I wanted a bigger computer monitor with a 1080P resolution so I could also watch Blu-Ray in my office. The display was OK but not what I expected. I have a 1080i LCD that is 3 years old that is Surprisingly much much better than this. The picture is washed out no matter how much it is adjusted and no matter what input is used (PC/Blu Ray). I would say that this is adequate for the price but I have already sent it back and will spend a bit more to buy a better quality Monitor. There were no other reviews so I took a chance. I am glad Amazon is understanding.

I have been happy with my purchase of this monitor. It gives me what I am looking for and the colors are quite vibrant. The quality of graphics displayed when viewing videos and video games really show off the depth of this monitor. The brightness can be bright but like most monitors can be adjusted to fit the display task. I have had good success with Viewsonic and recomend their monitors.
