ConsSpeakers are terrible, don't buy this expecting to be better than a simple 2.0 desktop speaker system. No USB hub, that would have made it even better.

ConsViewing angle limited compared to a CRT screen, but I'm not really concerned with reading things on it without sitting down at the computer to work. from Dell.com I bought two ViewSonic VG2230WM monitors to replace aging 22" tube monitors. One on my PC and one for my wife. from Amazon.com I have 2 of the ViewSonic VA2226w at present. One is bout 14 month old and the other one about 17 months old. from Amazon.com Pros: My viewsonic monitor has been acting up for more than 6 months and I get wavy lines if I turn the brighness level down and after this problem my brightness level was also fading. So I sent my monitor for repair and I include everything that was included in the retail box on end of December and they received on the the 7th of January. from Newegg.com Fairly large size Cons: paid 500 when it first came out, Died 6 months later, sent it in and it cost me 65 bucks in shipping charges. Repaired model still working strong. Other Thoughts: Viewsonic should have covered the shipping i will never buy another Viewsonic because of this from Newegg.com Pros: Worked great out of the box with no dead pixels. I have had very good luck with Viewsonic and Newegg. Great service and products. from Newegg.com ViewSonic VG2230WM 22-inch Black Widescreen LCD Monitor from Amazon.com Pros: Great quality and resolution for the ten months it worked. Cons: Terrible ViewSonic Customer Service. After ten months the monitor went out randomly. from Newegg.com I'm dual-booted with XP on the same machine, and XP still recognized it for a while. It stopped working altogether after another 2-3 weeks. I reurned it to Viewsonic under warranty, but it took about 6 weeks to get a replacement. I' don't know what was so hard to diagnose - it certainly wasn't repair time that held it up since it was replaced with a refurbed unit. from Newegg.com RMA it back again to have the backlight replaced and I'm still waiting. Since the end of August, I've had my monitor for 2 weeks. :-( Other Thoughts: This was my second Viewsonic monitor, the first being a 19" short depth CRT that lasted for over 8 years. Next time, I'll probably get a monitor from Dell, and it definitely won't be a Viewsonic. from Newegg.com
