ViewSonic VSD220 Smart Display

A monitor that runs Android, making it an ultra-affordable all-in-one computer.

Versatile and a lot of fun, A cheap route to an AIO PC, Healthy feature set

Display quality is so-so, Such a large touchscreen can feel awkward

Viewsonic VSD220 review

A monitor-come-Android-tablet combo for all your computing needs?

Built-in Android tablet functionality ; Supports Windows 8 touch ; Decent TN panel and image quality

Performance in Android tablet mode is very poor ; App support is patchy ; Needs an operating system update

The Viewsonic VSD220 Smart Display has an awful lot going for it. £330 might be a lot for a 22-inch PC monitor. But when you factor in the Android functionality along with support for Windows 8 touch, it's a compelling package. At least it is on paper....

The ViewSonic VSD220 is something of an oddity. Pitched as an all in one PC "smart display" it is essentially a monitor - something ViewSonic knows a lot

Viewsonic VSD220 Smart Display review

The Viewsonic VSD220 is quite unlike anything we've seen before. Its Smart Display moniker implies it's a simple monitor, the VSD220's home hub defines itself as a tablet, but it's actually a 22in all-in-one PC that's powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream...

An ambitious idea, but this Android-powered all-in-one PC fails to make an impression

ViewSonic VSD220 Smart Display review

Big, bright and beautiful, ViewSonic's VSD220 Android-powered screen could be not just your next monitor, but your next TV. But should it be?

ViewSonic's VSD220 Smart Display is a great first stab at a smart display let down only by occasional laggy performance and the fact that better is likely on the horizon

ViewSonic VSD220 review

ViewSonic is the first manufacturer to launch an accredited Google Mobile Services (GMS) all-in-one (AIO) personal computer (PC). More simply known as the ViewSonic VSD220.

If you’re willing to abandon Windows or Mac OS and conduct your day-to-day work on a mega-size Android tablet, the ViewSonic VSD220 is a classy take on what may well be a new desktop genre. If you expect to work on it with more than occasional typing,...

Viewsonic VSD 220 Smart Display review

An ambitious idea, but this Android-powered all-in-one PC fails to make an impression

It’s a very neat package overall. The screen measures just 20mm deep, so it won’t take up much room on your desk. You can also adjust the angle of the flip-out stand, which is more than can be said for the Microsoft Surface RT. Unlike other monitors...

A Desktop Tablet : ViewSonic VSD220

As many move from the desktop to a touch-enabled tablet, ViewSonic takes us in the opposite direction with a large screen AIO touch screen device.

As part of its latest batch of new products, ViewSonic has released its VSD220 offering. This is a touch screen Android AIO Smart Display. However unlike the numerous pocket and bag sized tablets that are currently fighting for market share, this AIO...
