Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1BJIUX770ZV1X First of all the video doesn’t even come close to showing the clarity this screen provides, but I hope it’s slightly helpful in that you can see the size better in comparison to a desk and stuff.
Now about this beautiful monitor. I admit I’ve only been looking at it for about a week, but so far my eyes couldn’t be happier. LED screens are clearly going to be the future. They look beautiful and save energy and space, and the screen is SO thin! Setup was a breeze – I just connected it to my desktop. The monitor comes with both DVI and VGA cables, but since my desktop had an HDMI output I bought a Premium High Resolution 10FT / 3m 24K GOLD HDMI TO DVI M/M CABLE FOR HDTV PLASMA DVD that uses the HDMI from my Desktop into the DVI in the monitor. I doubt I really needed to buy this, compared the cable with just the regular DVI to DVI and it still looked great, though it did seem a dash clearer (it could be my imagination).
Also, when shopping around and reading reviews of other monitors (especially LED) I noticed several customers complaining that it took a lot of setting switches to get the screen to look right.. with this monitor (at least for me) the picture looked perfect right from the start up. It does let you change the contrast and such, but I haven’t dared to mess with them because I think it looks perfect as is.
About the sound.. I watch a lot of movies on my computer and listen to a lot of music, so imagining using a monitor’s built in sound system horrifies me, but if you don’t care about a high quality stereo system, I listened to the speakers and they’ll do just fine.
So my overall review is an A+ thumbs up. I spent hours looking at monitors at Best Buy and on Amazon and anywhere else that sells them and I think I made a great choice with this ViewSonic. Granted, I’ve only had it a handful of days, but hopefully I won’t have to revise this review for at least 3 years (that’s how long the warranty is). If you have any other questions about the screen or would like to see a different video just leave a comment and I’ll try to help you out!
**2 Month Update
– Just thought I’d let you guys know it’s been nearly 2 months now and my 5 star review still stands so far. Absolutely no dead pixels, and absolutely no problems. Unlike other LEDs I’ve seen in the store, the stand on this is very sturdy and has never even hinted at falling over. My comp doesn’t have a blu ray player, but I watched some 1080p stuff online and it is noticably spectacular on this screen. And now I see Amazon is selling it even cheaper than what I paid for it ($189) so I can’t recommend it enough!

There are two things that keep me from giving five stars.
The included base only allows for tilt. There is no rotate and there’s no height adjustment. As a result, you will probably need to raid the supply closet and snag a couple reams of printer paper to raise the screen.
The other issue I’ve had is one of my monitors (I bought two) has some irregularity in the backlight at the top corner. There’s a row of brighter blobs stretching about one-third of the way across the top edge of the screen. It’s almost enough to make me want to return it.
Two other minor quibbles are the gloss black frame and base that show every fingerprint and atom of dust, and the huge “LED 1080p” logo on the front. I really don’t need to be reminded of its HD capability every time I look at the display.
Otherwise, it’s amazing that someone can stamp out displays with nearly 6.5 million sub-pixels and have them all work right for so little cost. I haven’t noticed any dead or stuck pixels. It’s bright, clear, crisp and wonderful to actually look at for hours. The only adjustment I’ve had to make is to turn down the brightness.

I just received an order of 2 of these. I’ve been using them for the past couple of hours. The screens are absolutely beautiful.
Pros
-Great color, perfect picture
-First screen I’ve never had to change the color settings on.
-Sturdy stand, minimal screen wobble
-Perfect size
-Easy on the eyes
-Great brightness
-No dead/stuck pixels
-Windows 7 automatically installed the driver for the screen
Cons
-The speakers are awful (what did you expect?)
-The screen didn’t look perfect before the driver was installed, definitely install it
-The menu is not very intuitive, took a few seconds to figure out
-Changing volume is a pain
-When screen is completely black, there is a little bit of light bleed on the edges
Notes
-Don’t buy these for the speakers, unless it’s an office environment
-If using speakers, just turn the volume up to 100 on the screen and control it from the computer
-Remember to install the monitor driver
This is really a great monitor! As a programmer, I’m extremely happy to have two of these when working on projects.

I’ve only had this monitor for about a week and it is connected to a late 2009 Mac Mini via DVI using the cables received with both units. The Mac mini had no problem detecting this monitor however I still ran the utility disk that came with the monitor and it installed a 6500K specific color scheme which looked nice but I preferred using the sRGB color scheme on the mac and using the sRGB setting on the Monitor. The sRGB setting on the monitor disables the Brightness and Contrast settings but I found the picture to be excellent and no need to change those settings. Colors appeared spot on and no issue with the the monitor being too bright. Using other color presets on the monitor required me to turn the Brightness and Contrast down as the monitor was way too bright.
This Mac was connected to a Samsung 720P 42″ Plasma TV and although Video looked really good text was not very readable. With the ViewSonic monitor text is absolutely perfect. Dark colors are rich including black and white is very very white as compared to other monitors I’m using. The monitor also has a decent viewing angle which is as good or better than other monitors in this class that I looked at in stores. I prefer the matte finish on the screen as I get alot of sun light through a slider behind me when I’m at this monitor and have no trouble viewing the picture.
Watched the LOST finale in 1080p from the ABC website and the image is stunning. Colors looked sharp and accurate. The monitor’s stereo speakers are fine with me as I don’t turn the volume up very high. Monitor arrived with no dead pixels or light bleeding, overall I’m very pleased with this purchase and Amazon delivered the monitor very quickly and packaged appropriately.

I had two regular LCD KDS monitors of approximately the same size but I was perceiving some type of flicker that was really bothering my eyes more and more. As I had a Mac Book Pro that didn’t give me these problems, and I knew it used LED backlighting, I decided to spring for some LED monitors.
I ordered two of these, and wow, what a difference! I plugged one into my Dual-DVI card and compared it side by side with the better of my two older monitors to compare and the picture was so much crisper, but not only that, the old monitors were definitely green-tinted which I never noticed before but the default Windows 7 background went from shades of Cyan to shades of blue as it should have been. I did notice before that the old CCFL monitors did not show white but something distinctly off-shade no matter how much I fiddled with the color settings, gave up, and reset factory defaults – these monitors showed white as exactly that out of the box with no fiddling. I would say the improvement was most visible with a traditional computer app, that has a lot of text/drop-down menus/browser/etcetera, with video I did not see such a dramatically better difference.
The screens are matte but it doesn’t bother me (it’s not edge to edge glass) especially at this price. The bezel is a pleasing glossy black which looks to be good quality and the controls are on the front, bottom right, and are not physical, but touch activated with the menu in center of the screen. It screws onto the base needing no tools, it will tilt up and down but not adjust up and down vertically nor swing left or right without turning the entire base.
I attached a Kill-A-Watt meter to my “old” monitor (built March 2007) and a new one. The old ones use 43 and these ones use 26 watts each, (26/44 = 60.4% of previous usage) so the energy claims of 30 to 40% savings are entirely fair and perhaps understated in a few cases. They definitely don’t get as hot in the back as my old monitors.
I also can spend time in front of the computer again without flicker bothering my eyes. I have good speakers, so I cannot comment on the built in speakers as I haven’t bothered with them yet.
