    CNET Review

    August 28, 2007

    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.
