> 3 dayAfter my old Acers died, I decided it was time to step it up to 1080P. However, even for someone that has worked with computers for nearly 25 years; monitors are extremely difficult to buy. In fact, it took me 3 weeks to finally pull the trigger on a pair of these VX2452MHs over the equivilent Asus, Acer, and BenQ low response gaming monitors. On to the review, which is going to be short, from a dual-screen perspective, and about 3 days of usage. I’m going to try to answer questions that I initially asked myself about the screens as part of the review. Additionally, I’m not using the 2W speakers and I immediately mounted these guys to a dual-screen stand, bypassing the unadjustable OEM stands. So, are they easy to setup? Very easy, my screens are currently connected to my PC via DVI, and the visual quality of these monitors is indeed stunning right out of the box. Just to note, inserting the cables can be a bit of a pain because you have to *lightly* push down on the plastic back to get the connectors to plugin; so make sure to take your time with the external setup. Once powered on, the screen takes 2 seconds to turn on, and they are very bright, so make sure to turn them down a bit. How about dead pixels? I bought two screens and neither had any dead pixels. Is it a glossy screen? Nope, its also an anti-glare screen. How about the buttons and menu? The control buttons sits under the right bottom edge of the monitor and the menu is very functional, easy to read, and every setting is adjustable – even the response time. That’s nice, but are they good for PC gaming? To be completely honest with you, the screens are so good that you don’t have to adjust any setting other than the brightness. When you switch over to ‘game mode’ the response shoots down to 2MS and there is absolutely zero ghosting in games such as BF4, Terraria, and Left 4 Dead 2 at 1080P/60hz. I plan to try GTAV, and Shadow of Mordor as soon as I have a chance to download them again, but I’m sure they’ll be even more stunning than before. My end goal is to manually adjust the screens, but I havent had the need as of yet. So you really like them? Yes, for the price tag versus performance they are excellent. You won’t be able to get a better 24 Inch LED TN panel at this price outside of Black Friday. In my opinion, ViewSonic did an excellent job making sure these killer screens were well worth the price tag. Just keep in mind that these are GAMING monitors, so people looking to buy these for web design, video editing, and photo shop may have a different opinion. I suspect a lot of the lower star reviews are non-gaming reviews.

> 3 dayI was so pleased with the first one, I bought a second. Both came up with no adjustments, drivers, or other manipulation needed. Kudos to Viewsonic.

> 3 dayWe have 20-30 of these throughout our business and they all pretty much work really well. They have 3 inputs which is nice because we have a lot of different model PCs with different video connections it makes it easier to match it up with different PCs The quality is just fine for office work, easy to mount, and seem to be lasting.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor because I will be working from home for the foreseeable future, and wanted a larger monitor (than just my laptop monitor). Overall, I think this is a great monitor for the price. I gave it four stars because of the stand - it is not well designed and is somewhat wobbly. If I bump my desk, the monitor will wobble. I also think its difficult to change the settings. Other than that, Im pleased with the monitor.

> 3 dayI have no idea what happened. I just came home one day and noticed, while plugged in, the orange light wasnt on. Ive tested several outlets but nothing turns it on any more. Theres also no clear way to disassemble and see if its a PSU issue.

> 3 dayThis replaced a 22 Viewsonic that I have had for many years but is got fried by lightning strike. I like quality, setup is a bit challenging but do-able. Only thing I dislike is the tinny audio speakers. the old 22 where much better. I am using it on a Mac laptop OS.10.14.5

> 3 dayI use these in combination with a docking station to set up generic 3 monitor work stations. So far I have set up at least 20 work stations. Meaning I have purchased and installed 60 of these monitors. Not one problem with any of them. For mixed office use they work great.

> 3 day[+] THE REVIEW: I got this monitor for programming code. I am not going to speak to the monitors color accuracy. I am assuming if you really want to have tuned color you need to use a hardware device to color correct any monitor you purchase. I dont have that hardware. The colors, as far as the naked eye goes, look great. As mentioned you need to first adjust the brightness and contrast. I turned mine down to 40%. I did not make any other color corrections. The 1080p works great for dotnet programming with visual studio. The wider screen allows me to have my toolbox and my properties windows active all the time without it interfering with the space to design the form. It actually works better than expected. For this price I am really glad I took a chance and purchased this monitor. [Update: 11/19/2014] The more I use this monitor the more I really love it. I am so use to using it now that I prefer it to my laptop screen. I stream HD video to watch Amazon Instant Videos, and it is perfect. When I looked at the price I paid, I forgot it was so low. I highly recommend buying this monitor if you are a programmer or just want to watch anything in HD. [Update: 5/27/2018] Im still using this monitor about 4 years later, and it works great. No dead pixels and color remains perfect.

Greater than one weekIve had it about a month now and its fantastic! My six year old 25 HANNspree display was suffering from mainboard related issues that would have cost around the same as this price to fix, so buying a new one instead was a no-brainer for me. Being a PC repair technician I have four wide screen displays in my work room here and this one is the one thats used the most... the one inch downgrade to this 24 isnt noticeable at all but the clarity of this one blows the other three and the defective one it replaced away! And as usual, Amazon had it at my door exactly when they said it would be here and in perfect shape! It was out of the box and brilliantly displaying on my Windows 7 system in less than 20 minutes. It initially showed up in Device manager as Generic Display, but installing the driver files included on the CD remedied that in no time... the instructions on how to do that are on the included CD. NOTE: installing the driver files is NOT necessary and provides no benefit other than showing the correct make & model. I read every single review and question on several comparable displays before purchasing this one and Id like to clarify a couple things that had me a little confused from conflicting answers by other reviewers on this display. This display DOES tilt forward & back - the base does not swivel or extend up & down. Some folks complained about the base being really flimsy... I find it just as sturdy as any other displays plastic base myself. The screen is non-glare with a matte finish, only the black plastic casing around the screen is high gloss. I have direct sunlight shining straight onto mine for about an hour every morning and the reflection from the CASE practically blinds me, but the screen itself remains perfectly clear without any distortion or glare at all. It has connections for basic VGA, DVI and HDMI. A DVI to DVI plus a standard VGA cable are provided in the box (No HDMI cable included). It also has connections for the internal speakers and a headphone jack. I had to adjust NOTHING on this display at all using the provided DVI to DVI cable. I have not tried the HDMI connection but several reviewers complained about this display being far too bright when first connected... that may be the case using HDMI but I didnt experience that using the DVI cable that came with it. The clarity of the built-in speakers is OK for basic use but certainly nothing close to high quality. This isnt a problem for me as I have a surround sound system, but the headphone jack does come in handy at times. The On-Screen-Display and the accompanying buttons on the front arent as confusing as some people make them out to be... but I DID read the manual on the CD before playing around with them. Id suggest to the folks that had problems to do likewise, its relatively basic stuff. Other than the power button theres only four others with icons above them and theyre all pretty much self-explanatory. If I can think of anything else or have a change in my satisfaction level I will surely update this review, but at the moment Im more than satisfied with this display and I not only would recommend it to somebody else... I have. To my mother-in-law... and thats not something Id normally do :)

> 3 dayBought this 3 years as a secondary monitor, and its still going strong. Its nothing fancy, but price wise, at the time it was great. Viewsonic has always done all right by me, will always buy their products. Highly recommended if it was 2019. Will use until it dies.
