The max resolution is 1650x1050, just shy of 1080P. Interestingly, though, the 226BW panel will work just fine with the 225BW signal processor. It also features a different signal processor for faster gray-to-gray transitions. The 226BW panel color-wise is better than the 'C' 225BW panels (Google the S,A,C versions of the 225BW panels). I actually put the 226BW panel into a 225BW bezel as the 225BW bezel/back-shell is thinner and more adjustable than the 226BW (225BW has tilt/telescope, while the 226BW has tilt only). I have a bunch of 225BW's and this 226BW for an AMD Eyefinity multiple monitor solution. I purchased a non-working model on e-bay in order to repair it.

Moving to Windows 7 negates all the earlier driver issues and the monitor would be a solid excellent factoring in the cost and durability. Update: After using the monitor for a couple of years now, and installing Windows 7, it's still working and the display is as clear as it was when new. If you need them, you're looking at buyi ng from a different manufacturer. Please note that this monitor does not have internal speakers. I don't know why it solved the issue, but it did. After losing my screen resolution and the ability to change it, I restored my system to the old driver and I haven't had the shutting down problem since. I accidentally solved the problem by installing an updated driver from Samsung (which didn't help), and then automatically downloading a new driver from Microsoft. If you're using XP, many of these monitors will develop an intermittent and repeated problem with suddenly turning off and then restarting. One small problem developed in mine (and several others, as I found out later). You can get better, but it will cost you. When compared to the $189, 22-inch ASUS ML228H, this monitor lags behind in image quality and features, but for consumers with a limited budget, it's hard to complain at this price.Nice monitor for the price, but has XP driver issues.

For $169, you get full HD resolution, digital and analog outputs, and integrated speakers. The 22-inch ViewSonic VX2250wm-LED is definitely worth a look. ViewSonic backs the VX with a three-year warranty. They're better than the average notebook and make a good replacement for low-end external speakers for those looking to save desk space.Īside from the 22-inch model, Viewsonic offers one other option in this line: the 24-inch VX2450wm-LED (street prices from $199, $368 MSRP). The integrated speakers produced loud audio with a decent range of treble and bass. Though fast-moving scenes were smooth and error free. Comparing this display against the ASUS ML228H and the Samsung SyncMaster B2330HD while watching a Blu-ray of Iron Man and playing Batman: Arkham Asylum, we noted that the ViewSonic's picture wasn't as bright or popping as either of these monitors. Thanks to the matte display, reflections are not a problem, nor is glare from indirect sunlight nor harsh fluorescent light. The VX2250wm does a good job of displaying small text, and viewing angles are very wide. However, when viewing solid colors fading from dark to light, there was very little visible banding thus transitions were smooth. Testing contrast in PassMark, we noted that the monitor showed very little difference in contrast between 80 to 100 percent brightness on every color (Blue, Green, Red, and White/Grayscale), meaning bright images are likely to look washed out. However, compared to other budget monitors in its class, images come off as slightly washed out. The ViewSonic VX's 21.5-inch, LED-backlit matte display produced a sharp picture with decent color depth.

The company includes DVI as well as VGA, plus a stereo mini jack cable for connecting your notebook's audio to the monitor. At least ViewSonic doesn't skimp on the cables.
