> 3 dayTL;DR: Great picture quality that has held its own against video games running on the highest video settings and no issues with the coloring. Highly recommended. I liked this one so much that i just bought a second one so that i can have a duel monitor setup. I bought the monitor a little over 5 months ago when i was building a new computer that would be able to handle all of my college and gaming needs. I was really hesitant after reading about the washed out colors and people complaining about the contrast settings, but it was what i could afford at the time, so I got it anyway. I have no complaints. The coloring is just fine and the settings are really easy to manipulate if you want to change anything to meet your standards. Ive put hours of use into this this day in and day out and i have never had an issue with the picture quality. I run games on Ultra settings and the picture comes out just as beautiful as the $300+ screen that my roommate bought for his gaming rig 8 months ago. Im not saying that this could match up against video and picture editing computer screens (which tend to be $500+), but you will definitely get your moneys worth. The speakers are not the best, but they are monitor speekers and you can only expect so much (especially at this low of a price). If you want better speakers you just need to buy some for cheep on line, but these speakers will definitely get the job done until then. If you are looking for a gaming/home/work computer screen that will give you great, quality performance then look no further. I recommend using a DVI cable for the best quality.

> 3 dayGood picture quality. Im using this as a third monitor on my triple monitor stand on my desk, but using it now just as a TV. I wanted to have all three monitors match in size and style. I have no complaints about the monitor itself, but the speakers are too weak to be used for a TV or for gaming. Also, the controls are not very intuitive, and the monitor does not come with a remote. You have to push a couple buttons to get to the volume control, then you have to manually exit out of the menu. Like I said, Im using it as a TV, which is not really what a straight monitor is for, so these complaints might not apply to everyone. Thats why I still gave the monitor four stars. For the price, the picture quality is great. But the speakers are weak and the button controls are not very intuitive, no matter what youre going to use this product for.

> 3 dayI got this to be viewed in portrait mode. Still weird to look at, as Im used to landscape mode. The image is perfect for what I need. I use this to look at pdf files and other documents so I can see more of it at once with reduced negative space.

> 3 dayOne major problem for me. The picture on this monitor is so sharp and bright that I found it slightly distracting. So I had to make a few adjustments on the menu like dialing down the brightness and contrast. Dont get me wrong. This is a compliment. Usually I take the factory default settings and live with them. But this actually required some minor changes. In fact, I am using it right now. The disc that came with the unit was worthless to me, but I dont think you really need it. By the way, I like all the little additions on this model so you have lots of options to plug in cables with 3 or 4 letters or even sound. Its hard to count but I believe it came with speaker, VGA, DVI cables. I dont recall seeing an HDMI cable but I have plenty of spare ones. It says it is certified for Windows 8, but seems to function just fine on 10. It would have been helpful to get this on sale, but I needed it like yesterday to replace an old dying unit. So far this works great and is strongly recommended for someone with a small crowded desk like mine.

Greater than one weekI really like this monitor. I needed a monitor with integrated speaker, because I dont have external speakers with my computer (and I dont want them). So I was concerned when I read some of the reviews that said the sound was not good. I havent found that to be the case at all. In fact, I think the sound is a bit better than my old monitor. I did discover that the factory setting was only at 50%, but I raised it up to 100% with the button on the bottom of the monitor, and of course I can still adjust the sound in the normal way with the speaker icon, so Im happy with the sound. Im also happy with the size of the monitor and with the image clarity, etc. And setting it up was super easy, which is important to me, because Im no techie. So this monitor is working out very well for me. Glad I bought it.

> 3 dayThese are great monitors. We have been buying them for work for the last couple of months. I have yet to receive a defective one or any with dead/stuck pixels. I think we have purchased 20 or so total now. Nice large, vibrant monitors with lots of input options (HDMI, VGA, DVI). It also has a 3.5 mm audio plug if you dont use the HDMI connection but you want to use the monitors speakers (which arent great but you are buying a monitor for the image quality not the speakers!). Easy to setup (tools arent required to attach the stand base) and windows 7 doesnt need any drivers to use the monitor (do any monitors need drivers that arent built in to windows now adays?). If you are looking for a rock solid LED/LCD monitor, look no further. I have been using viewsonic for almost 15 years (for lcd monitors) and I still have my original 19 lcd monitor at home working. I have never had one fail on me and I dont expect to have any fail on me any time soon. The only reason I continue to buy new ones are to get larger screens and wide screen aspect ratios. This monitor has been my favorite so far.

> 3 dayI do photography editing and play online games. This monitor gives great colors and contrast for the games I play. I actually prefer to play my games with game mode off. I feel the colors are better and clearer outside of game mode. In game mode the colors seems to look blurred and smeared together with lightened color saturation. Which brings me to my photography side. I would NOT recommend this monitor to artists. The blacks on the monitor arent very dark. At all. Also even after color calibrating the monitor, my monitor seems to still have this yellow green hue on screen (where my yellows seem to still retain a small hint of green). Though when I print out my pictures that tint is not present. Still it makes processing somewhat more difficult. For most people, the colors are not noticeable (or looks great)... for those of us with trained eyes for color - its an eye sore. I still cant get over it. It bothers me even when I play my online game. I bought this monitor with more weight for gaming. So I gave it a moderate 3 star - its okay, decent, and good rating. I like it for my games. But I had hoped it would do well with photo processing as well though I did not sell myself on this aspect, which it did not. The off coloring is off putting but not enough for me to return the item... I plan to get another monitor anyway for specific photo processing.

> 3 day** UPDATE: Its not even a year since ordering this and the HDMI port is completely trashed. Have to use an HDMI to DVI converter cord. So there you have it. Not even one year and aside from it being a piece of garbage in terms of quality it doesnt hold up to daily use. Simply the worst monitor I have owned in more than thirty years. ** There is not much to say about this monitor other than it is simply terrible. I purchased it to use as a second, larger monitor for use with my MacBook Pro when doing video editing and daily work use. Where to begin. Colors are so far off out of the box ViewSonic should be embarrassed. Days of fiddling got them nearly right, but still quite noticeably off. Next is the clarity. Text is horrible. Jagged and blotchy with castings all around each letter. The speaker is weak, too weak to even bother with. Plenty of in-monitor speakers out there that sound a thousand times better. I wrote ViewSonic about all of this and got a pretty ridiculous response. Most of it had to do with Windows troubleshooting, even though I clearly stated its connected to a Mac. The end solution was a suggestion to pay to have it sent in to them for repair. Its not broken, its just garbage quality. I closed that conversation with the comment that ViewSonic used to be a premium monitor producer, but this reject should have never made it off of the drawing board. I dont understand why gamers hail this thing. I play games too, and I cant help but wonder what kind of rotten game one would be playing that would lend itself to a poor display but still be awesome. None of my games look good at all. I have an old DVI 20 Apple Cinema Display that looks far, far better than this. If it werent for the resolution restriction on my 9 year old display I would really rather use that instead. Do not get this model. It is cheaply made. You will be terribly disappointed in the quality of the picture. This is not, by any measure, a true HD monitor. It can mimic the pixel dimensions but it is far far from able to deliver the quality associated with HD.

Greater than one weekBought this 3 years as a secondary monitor, and its still going strong. Its nothing fancy, but price wise, at the time it was great. Viewsonic has always done all right by me, will always buy their products. Highly recommended if it was 2019. Will use until it dies.
