Review Summary

The ViewSonic VX2255wmb 22-inch LCD features a DVI or a VGA port and a Webcam and integrated speakers. The ViewSonic, however has a limited amount of video ports, component, composite, and S-Video. The Webcam features a 1.3-megapixel resolution and with the tiny microphone to its right allows quick-and-easy Web conferencing. The Webcam software provides snapshots or video and adjust camera settings to fine-tune the image. The ViewSonic VX2255wmb is HDCP compliant, meaning that you can view copyrighted content on high-definition Blu-ray or HD DVD discs. The display’s top resolution of 1,680x1,050, however, means you just miss 1080p output and must settle for 720p. It also features blue LED lights along the bottom of the right side of the screen, which serve as buttons to navigate the onscreen menu. The ViewSonic’s onscreen menu is straightforward and easy to use, allowing adjustment to brightness, contrast, and color, as well as video input. The menu options are clearly labeled to aid navigation. Its middle two buttons let you adjust the volume. A convenient headphone jack resides just below the menu button. The monitor’s base allows swiveling of the screen to 360 degrees. The stand offers 3 inches of height adjustment, and the monitor can be tilted forward a few degrees and back about 25 degrees however you can’t pivot the screen into a portrait position. The display quality is sharp, screen uniformity, color, and grayscale performance are good and it performs well with DVDs and games. DVDs and Web pages and other images looked fine even in a pitch-black room. The 22-inch ViewSonic VX2255wmb features a wide-screen display framed by a consumer-friendly, black bezel, but it lacks the extra video ports one expects to find on an LCD these days. Its image quality is excellent, however, and it boasts a built-in Webcam and microphone.

Intensely entertaining widescreen. ViewSonic’s 22" VX2255wmb widescreen LCD delivers the ultimate in premium and desktop entertainment with its, PANORAMIC WIDESCREEN ASPECT RATIO. Designed for p…

    Viewsonic delivers good value at this price point, but the VX2255wmb is unlikely to set your heart racing. Read more

    This has to be one of the best LCD monitors I have seen lately. It has just about everything you would want in a LCD display. You have the widescreen aspect ratio, beautiful glossy bezel finish, integrated 1.3-megapixel camera, integrated speakers, and the swivel stand. The only thing it really is missing is a set of USB ports, but we rarely find that on monitors. The 20-22" screen size is becoming standard now and is great to work on. Having the 1680X1050 resolut... Read more

    The ViewSonic VX2255wmb is an innovative 22-inch LCD with a lot of neat extra features that might make the $429 price attractive to some users. However, it just barely gets above-average marks in our display testing, and it has several significant flaws in its design. Read more
