Thread: ViewSonic Va2216W Monitor

The cheaper brother of the VX2255WM, the Va2216W is simple looking and a bit lighter. The stand is simple as well, and although small does a good job keeping this rather large beast well and truly grounded. With a rated contrast ratio that is less than is costlier sibling we figure ViewSonic ought to have dropped in a cheaper panel into this one. As expected whatever the VX2255WM does, this one does with a little less aplomb.



lts contrast ratio isn't too bad, but will be a little deficient in games like F.EAR, and our DisplayMate tests showed a slight issue with colour rendition of the green in the 256 intensity ramp test. The blues and reds were good enough though. One nicety is the very decent performance in movies, and it's very close to its costlier sibling here, and makes a good choice for multimedia aficiona¬dos-unless you're really discerning. At Rs 13,500 the Va2216W makes a strong case for itself in the value market, except that the SP 2208 WFP is a lot more moni¬tor for a slightly higher price.
