    ViewSonic is producing screen after screen, and most of them are of a fairly decent quality. They’re not leading the field, but the ViewSonic VX2255wmh is another very solid and reasonably well-priced screen, particularly so if the polished white casing appeals. Read more

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

    I agree with the previous reviewer. The blue plug (VGA) is fine, but this is a widescreen TFT, so if you want flat screen scaling, then you need to use the DVI connectors. Of course this is only relevant if your graphics card supports DVI. When I set up this monitor for the first time, I didn’t realise that it has two separate video connecting ports. I hooked it up using the usual looking 15 pin cable (with blue plugs) that I found, switched it on, installed the Nvidia... Read more
