Viewsonic VX2835WM

Size!
Well designed OSD panel
Excellent Graphical Performance

Lack of customization of viewing angle
Average contrast ratio




Moving onto the physical customization of the monitor, we find that there is nothing much on offer. The base of the VX2835WM is a solid and well constructed piece, which offers a limited degree of movement. The base also cannot be height adjusted. The only thing that is present in terms of viewing angle customization on this monitor is the normal tilt, which allows you to set the appropriate angle you need.

The VX2835WM as we have already mentioned before, has a native resolution of 1920X1200. This makes the monitor fully 1080p compliant and made the whole act of testing the monitor’s performance a real pleasure. We divided our tests into 2 different sections. In the first section we used Displaymate to gauge the color, contrast levels, sharpness and customization options. Displaymate, as our readers know is a comprehensive tool designed to test every aspect of a monitor. If there is a problem with a monitor... be rest assured Displaymate will expose it. The results we got were as follows. Please note all our tests were conducted on Windows Vista Ultimate.

The VX2835WM gave us impressive results. On the sharpness tests, the Viewsonic was spot on. The graphical and text was clear and crisp. This was apparent especially on Windows Vista, which boasts of DPI scaling. On the grayscale tests, there were no surprises. The performance was again indeed impressive, with the monitor achieving near perfect scores. The monitor did falter on the color tests. In some areas there were slight bleed-ins, which given the size of the monitor became glaringly apparent. However this problem was limited to a few older games like Oblivion. On newer games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the problem was conspicuous in its absence.

@ Robert:
This will stretch the image to 16:10 unless you set the monitor to 16:9 mode or 1:1 pixel mapping.

Speakers are crap and the monitor doesn't go into standby mode, instead it goes to a bright blue screen which is a pain if you forget to turn it off.

Can anyone tell me how much does it cost in India?

I have a question. When using this monitor with the PS3 and/or a 1080p source, does the monitor scale the image to fit the screens 1920x1200 resolution or does it do a 1:1 pixel map (ie, are there black borders on the top and bottom of the screen).

I realise this is probably not the best place to ask this question, but I tried looking fora way to directly email Jayesh (the author of the article) but coul not find his email address.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I dont suppose there is any difference ,sept there are no (good) speakers, no TV tuner, no remote. I stand corrected thou
Hello @ Aug 06, 2007
I have been using this monitor for last one month and the performance has been satisfactory. The plus points are
1. the plethora of connectivity options: I've connected my PC through VGA, PS3 through HDMI, TATA SKY through composite
2. SIZE
3. SIZE
and of course price as even the DELL and Benq 24" are more expensive.
But since Viewsonic has TN LCD panel to increase the response times the viewing angles has suffered. Even watching at a slight angle (vertical as well as horizontal) give dark/suboptimal images.
Also if you are working at less than 3 feet the edges are conspicuously jagged (esp. in Windows XP. VISTA looks slightly better)
Inspite fo the flaws its a great monitor at this price esp for gaming and viewing large images.
