Viewsonic VX2235WM Review

Quote from the review:

“On their website Viewsonic tells us that the VX2235WM is an “elegantly styled, fast widescreen”. The days of LCD specialization in anything that sells for under $2000 are clearly dead and no one has done a better job of embracing this than Viewsonic.

The clarity on modern, graphics-heavy operating systems is displayed beautifully, with no artefacts such as ghosting or errant shapes or edges. However, despite having […]
