Reviews of the ViewSonic VX2255wmb
-
CNET Review
The Good: Excellent image quality; integrated Webcam and microphone; headphone jack; base swivels 360 degrees.
The Bad: Only DVI and VGA video inputs; no downstream USB ports; no height adjustment or pivot; base could be sturdier; glossy bezel prone to smudges and glare; brutally bad speakers.
The Bottom Line: The 22-inch ViewSonic VX2255wmb features a wide-screen display framed by a consumer-friendly, piano-black bezel, but it lacks the extra video ports consumers can rightfully expect to find on an LCD these days. Its image quality is excellent, however, and it boasts a built-in Webcam and microphone.

Review Summary: It's a fairly close call between the Samsung SyncMaster 226BW and the ViewSonic VX2255wmb. The Samsung's strength is its vibrant colours and finesse with darker images. However, it can be vibrant to the point of being lurid and doesn't cope well with skin
