I just upgraded from a 19" 1280x1024 standard aspect ratio ViewSonic professional series desktop monitor to this display primarily to get a little more horizontal room for casual photo editing and similar programs which also require a portion of the workspace to show tools, palettes, previews, etc., alongside your subject matter. It's worked out great: the bonus is that the colors are extemely bright and true, and the dynamic range is excellent, the latter of which I'm now first appreciating in many photographs.

The item arrived securely, setup and calibration no problem - ViewSonic has upgraded their software nicely. I've been using the item for about a month now, continue to appreciate it, and compared to the vanilla monitors at my workplace it never ceases to amaze me what a different experience this monitor is to view.

For you baby-boomers and older out there, during internet browsing I have to admit to sometimes zooming some websites to 125% in order to help out my aging eyes when reading longer articles, but this issue isn't at all specific to this monitor - any 22" monitor with 1680 horizontal pixels (or for that matter, my prior 19" 1280 pixel monitor) may display some text on some sites uncomfortably small for some people. Nevertheless, the good news is that the text remains true and crisp, and there's plenty of viewing real estate to go around on this display when zooming most any page without having to scroll back and forth.

I've really found nothing to complain about with this item, in fact it's one of those purchases I made without ever physically seeing the product anywhere but given the good luck I've had in the past with this company's LCDs, I thought I'd take a chance. No regrets.

I am a bit picky when it comes to my equipment. Having spent well over a decade "behind the screens" as a marketing professional, I elect to update my gear on almost an annual basis.

Over that time I have gone from a Viewsonic 17" CRT to Sony 17" LCD to Dell 19" Wide LCD to dual HP 19" wides and so on. For the past few years I have be a fan of running dual Viewsonic 19" Wide Pro Series, they tend to have better color quality than most.

After ordering and connecting two of these beauties, I can say that the VP2250WP screens are the highest quality, richest color monitors that I have ever seen or purchased. 106% NTSC is NO JOKE, and is TRULY AMAZING. The 300 Nits, 2ms/5ms response, 1680x1050 max res and 3000:1 contrast ratio is impressive for a monitor of this size. Clear, Crisp and Accurate. The 22" wide size is sufficient and gives a nice workspace when running them dual.

The new multi-position floater base is great and allows horizontal and new vertical display positions. Running a dual-vertical screen setup is fun and very cool, especially at 22" tall.

Even though I think these are the hottest monitors to ever roll out of Viewsonic, I can't attribute all of the clarity, color range, precision, definition and performance to them. These screens sit in front of an Industrial HP Power Pavilion w/ 4GB of Ram, GeForce 8800 GTS and 1Tb of internal HDD. The Nvidia 8800 series (GS and above) is a must for those that want maximum performance from professional grade monitors. I use Adobe CS3 Master on a daily basis and find this setup awesome, especially when crunching 100+MB files.

If you are a design/marketing professional (or similar), these screens should be a serious contender in your next workstation setup. I would still like to play with the VX2835WM but am more concerned with quality than size. For the basic consumer, if you don't require 106% NTSC and 3000:1 contrast, save your money.

Viewsonic has once again proven themselves with the new VP Pro Series monitors.
