Viewsonic VLED221wm review

 

The first affordable monitor to be powered by an LED backlight

Vibrant pictures ; Power-efficient

Expensive ; Sluggish pixel response

Going on pictures alone, this is a great monitor. But factor in the high price and this becomes a less appealing screen

ViewSonic VLED221wm 22in widescreen monitor

 

The attractive specifications and smooth design of the ViewSonic VLED221wm widescreen 22in LCD monitor are impressive.

Although ViewSonic packed a lot of high-end features into the ViewSonic VLED221wm, the impressive specs did not produce a huge image-quality boost in our testing. This monitor is best suited for a movie buff, for a multimedia/graphic designer who needs...

Viewsonic VLED221wm

 

22in monitor with LED backlighting

Great colours, sharp picture, minimal ghosting, no noise

Poor viewing angle, extremely expensive, minor contrast issues at bright end

Viewsonic's VLED221wm would be a fairly good choice if it cost a few hundred dollars less, but with a price tag almost triple its competitors it is difficult to recommend despite having brilliant colours and fairly good overall image quality.

ViewSonic VLED221wm review: ViewSonic VLED221wm

 

ViewSonic VLED221wm

Good performance in movies and games; built-in speakers; sturdy footstand; thin panel.

No HDMI; lacks ergonomic options; uninspired OSD with limited options.

The ViewSonic VLED221wm is a well-performing monitor, but it's too expensive to recommend.

VLED221WM

 

ViewSonic's 22-inch wide-screen VLED221wm is the world's first sub-$1000 LCD monitor with LED backlight technology, which delivers an evenly bright screen and a wide color gamut.

Glossy black design Displays brilliant colors

Poor built-in speakers Hefty price tag.

Though ViewSonic packed a lot of high-end features into the VLED221wm, the impressive specs did not produce a huge image-quality boost in our testing. This monitor is best suited for a movie buff, for a multimedia/graphic designer who needs to see a...

ViewSonic VLED221wm Review

 

At $500, the ViewSonic VLED221wm can't keep pace with better monitors, such as the Gateway HD2201, which can be found for at least $300 cheaper. In our tests, the VLED221wm ...

Viewsonic VLED221wm

 

The Viewsonic VLED221wm sets up great expectations for LED technology but falls short. This is one of the better 22-inch LED monitors on the market, with the picture brighter and sharper than a budget competitor. But price is hurting this monitor. Yet...
