ViewSonic VG2239SMH 22 Inch 1080p Ergonomic Monitor with HDMI DisplayPort and VGA for Home and Office

Very happy with this purchase of two ViewSonic VG2439SMH 24" monitors. I have always been happy with ViewSonic monitors on the whole, but these purchases were specifically because of their rated compatibility with the Microsoft Surface Books. My organization has had some past problems with compatibility between various monitors with the Surface line, to the point where the screen flickers on and off, doesnt get recognized, or wont work properly with a multiple monitor setup. Microsoft has worked to publish a list of monitors known to be compatible, and the ViewSonic model was on that list. To date, we have not had one single issue with anything I mentioned above. It has been spot on connecting without any issue. I am pleased to say this has been a very wise purchase, and that aside from the compatibility, this monitor was easy to set up, has a good picture to typical business use, and is all around easy to use. The only complaint I have is that with todays proliferation of connection options and devices, it didnt come with the mini-display to display cord necessary to connect from my Surface to the monitor, so I had to purchase that separately. Yet, it still comes with the outdated VGA cord. I think monitor manufacturers should be looking at providing a standard video cord with adapters that would allow for other connection types. Otherwise, very happy with this purchase.

Ive bought a few of these for work, and overall its a pretty good product at a fair price. Color accuracy, even after calibration with an external "Spyder 4" instrument, is not as good as my personal Dell U2713HM, so I wouldnt use the Viewsonic for work where color is critical (photoshop, etc). But for business use its fine. The legibility of the 4 menu and power buttons in the lower right corner is very poor. Subtle embossing of the black plastic is inadequate. Also the buttons are not raised or easily distinguishable. Very easy to press the wrong button. I ended up applying a narrow, 3.5mm, black-on-white, Brother P-touch label above the row of buttons.Would be very annoying, if I didnt already have the label catridge.

As with most newer monitors, this one comes with one HDMI and one DisplayPort (DP). Problem is most cables and adapters expect you to have a DP on your computer to broadcast to the monitor. Unfortunately this is not yet common. So after going through a number of trials of deferent adapters, I found an rather expensive USB powered adapter works well. So if you dont have a DP on your computer/Laptop then expect to pay an extra $40 for the adapter.

I got a refurbished unit. It was like new out of the box. It may have been new for all I know. I paid $100 bucks for a $200+ display. Great Deal! This was a considerable upgrade for me from a 10 year old 4/5 ratio low res lcd monitor. It has great color, is the perfect size and I love that it is easily fully adjustable for height, tilt and swivel. The only knock against this monitor is the buttons, and the settings menus. The buttons are unreadable as the labeling is only an embossing on the black plastic. The settings menu is not intuitive at all for navigating or selecting. Big fail on this. I only took away 1 star for this because I dont mess with the settings much, and no one really should after setup. But once you get it set, the display is beautiful.

These monitors are bright and clear. MVA is like an IPS monitor, it helps to give the monitor better viewing angles. MVA is supposed to have better black levels but I havent really noticied.

Very satisfied. Good quality product. Doesn’t have a modern design, but is not important to me. More important is the connectivity (display port, hdmi and vga) and works very well.
