| Full HD 1080p resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio The Viewsonic VX2739wm’s 27" panel offers another new trend in the LCD panel market, the16:9 aspect ratio. This new aspect ratio not only natively supports Full HD 1080p content, but displays Full HD without distortion. For example, a 1920x1200 resolution monitor will also support Full HD 1080p but it will either stretch to fit into a full screen or would show blank side bars to avoid distortion. With a 16:9 aspect ratio panel, you will get the most out of your HD content since it is natively designed in this format. |

| The Power of HDMI® HDMI is one of the most powerful and widely available communication standards that connects digital audio/video sources such as set-top boxes, DVD players, personal computers (PCs, laptops), video game consoles such as the PlayStation® 3 and XBOX 360®, and AV receivers to compatible digital audio devices, computer monitors, and digital televisions. With just one cable, HDMI supports any TV or PC video format, including high-definition video and up to 8 channels of digital audio. This powerful technology comes standard in VX2239wm. This way, you can connect your monitor to your desktop or laptop computer and work, surf the web or play games. Or you can connect it to your gaming console and enjoy the large 22” screen, 1ms response time time and integrated speakers. You can even connect it to a cable box or a satellite receiver and watch TV on your monitor! Although the monitor doesn’t have a tuner to receive the TV signals from the air, HDMI + receiver box combination gives you the same TV experience. And another great example of the countless video sources you connect to is a Blu-ray® DVD/CD player. | ![]() |

This review is from: Viewsonic VX2239WM 22-Inch (21.5-Inch Vis) Wide 16:9 1920x1080 Full HD Monitor with 2ms Response Time, HDMI Input and Eco Mode - Black (Personal Computers) I just built myself a new mid-line gaming pc for around $1000, and was looking for a good (and cheap) monitor for a dual monitor set up. My requirements were that it needed to have speakers (until I get myself a set), HDMI, 1080p, quick response time, and vivid colors. I ended up settling on this monitor after a couple weeks of researching. This monitor didn't have many reviews here, and it seemed like it was a risky move going for it, reading the lower of the two reviews. I decided to give it a chance anyway, and buy one to see how it was. I ended up accidentally (or my subconscious purposely bought them? Not quite sure...) buying TWO of these monitors, with one day shipping, on a Saturday night. They got to me Monday just as I got out of class (around 2p) and I set them up as soon as I got into my apartment. They worked flawlessly. Driver downloads were easy, the disk came with some drivers but you need to go to the site to get the latest ones. The color is fantastic,...Read more 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Viewsonic VX2239WM 22-Inch (21.5-Inch Vis) Wide 16:9 1920x1080 Full HD Monitor with 2ms Response Time, HDMI Input and Eco Mode - Black (Personal Computers) The monitor is impressive - excellent contrast, rich color, well-defined pixels. My only complaint was that the initial settings out-of-the-box were atrocious; when I first powered up the monitor, I thought I had made a huge mistake in choosing this model. It was far too bright resulting in a washed-out picture. After a few adjustments, all was well.
I wasn't too pleased with the condition of the box it arrived in - it literally fell apart at the seams the moment I pulled on the cardboard tab to open the top flap. However, the monitor seemed undamaged, not even the styrofoam packing was blemished. Amazon needs to pressure their partners more to package things better for shipping. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Viewsonic VX2239WM 22-Inch (21.5-Inch Vis) Wide 16:9 1920x1080 Full HD Monitor with 2ms Response Time, HDMI Input and Eco Mode - Black (Personal Computers) I was looking for a good monitor to split between my various AV components (PS3, DVR, etc.) and my computer's input. This product does all of that, and very well. The image is very crisp and clean, though I have noticed some image tearing from time to time (which I haven't ruled out as being the monitor specifically, just hadn't seen it on my old LCD). It also has a bit of lighting haze at the top and bottom of the screen, though not enough to seriously detract from the fact the color and image are top-notch.
The audio...well, consider buying a separate set of speakers for this one. For having them built into the frame, it does an adequate job. Just don't expect to be listening to music or movies and feeling awestruck. The monitor does make up for that though, by allowing a 3.5mm jack for audio-in (from my PC in this case), HDMI audio-in (my PS3), and 3.5mm audio-out (a set of Logitech speakers). It switches between each audio feed as you change sources, and makes for a...Read more |
