This widescreen offering from ViewSonic is a part of its value series. In terms of brightness and contrast, this one's no better than the Intex IT -1707WBLK.However, it supports a higher maximum resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. The monitor display is crisp and clear. The monitor's navigation and menu keys at the bottom of the bezeel are easy to press. Its stand is extremely sturdy and provides excellent support to the display.

The LCD blasted through our Displaymate benchmarks, and erred very slightly in the color regeneration test as compared to other monitors. However, its black levels aren't very good, and its brightness and contrast levels are also not as high as others. This was quite evident when watching videos, where the details were lacking and were replaced by only black color, making videos appear darker with unnatural color shades. The monitor can be tilted, but height and swivel adjustments are missing.
