4 out of 5 stars ViewSonic VG2230WM 22" Black Widescreen LCD Monitor   May 28, 2008

I bought this monitor to replace an old 19 inch monitor and I am very pleased with the picture quality and the design itself. The only problem is the sound quality which seems a bit muted, but that could be because I've always had nicer speakers on everything I own.

5 out of 5 stars Pretty Close To Fabulous   April 9, 2008

Amazon delivered this in only two days, even though they told me it would take a week to ship. Used XP drivers only. When I first hooked it up, it had an extreme "washed-out" look. No amount of tweaking the brightness/contrast controls could fix it. Then I looked at my graphics card control panel. Somehow the card color corrections had gotten turned off. A quick click, and it was fixed. Now it looks FABULOUS, and no dead pixels! The stand is well-designed and not tippy. Supplied cables are very short. Buttons on the side are a pain but how often do you mess with those? Note: This replaced my 3-year old Viewsonic. The speakers on the old Viewsonic were good enough for occasional music listening. I read the other reviews and I was prepared for bad speakers, but they are REALLY, REALLY BAD. Other than that, I think this monitor is quite lovely, and a good bargain. Amazon service is hard to beat, keep it up!

After getting another brand monitor with my new computer, and not being able to set the color properly, I sold the 6 week old monitor and bought the VG2230WM. This decision was based on my expeience with a 2 yr old Viewsonic monitor.
And when I plugged it in, the color was what it was supposed to be with minimal adjustment. I do a lot of photo editng, 20,000 a year, and the color must be right on my monitor.
