Thread: ViewSonic VX2255WM Monitor

Apiano white finish is some what a rarity in this colour prejudiced LCD world where black is a defacto standard. The three little birds (ViewSonic's trademark) stand out in visible relief and detail from all the white, another perk for deviating from black. Speaking about the bezel, it isn't as narrow as we'd have liked-especially considering the space hogging buttons have been moved to the side. The trim on the lower bezel looks a little out of place and flimsy. In DisplayMate the contrast was immediately better than the HP and AOC 22-inch offerings, although not as good as the Samsung and the Dell monitors. No serious issues in the colour tests but the rendition of green isn't good enough.



In EEAR we noticed a decent contrast ratio and good particle effects but both Dell and Samsung are better. Oblivion is much more forgiving and the VX2255WM makes a very good showing in games with dimly lit scenes, something where its TN panel bearing compatriots also performed reasonably well on. Movies show good colour but mediocre contrast, especially noticeable in darker scenes and with dim indoor lighting. At Rs 15,500, the VX2255WM is a decent offering-good enough for multimedia, games, and office use. However it doesn't really excel at any of these applications, and there are better options available.
