Viewsonic VA2213W 22 TFT SCREEN (5 MS) review cheap prices VA2213W 22 TFT SCREEN (5 MS) Viewsonic best buy discount online uk shop

Seems a very good price, but anyone have any feedback on these?

[Leeky]

Its very simular to my twin Viewsonic VA2216W TFT's, but the resolution is higher than mine.

If its anything like mine I'd highly recommend it. Its also £30 cheaper than I paid for my latest VA2216W4 TFT as well!

Great, but you've not had your ones that long have you?

I'm a bit wary of buying new screens now as the last 2 have been decent brands (Sony and Philips), but after one year they both f*cked up.

I want something that'll give me a few years use at least.

Ive got dell 22" monitors here, never had a problem with them. Viewsonic , never had one but that looks good quality for the money

How long you had the Dell's for Phil? Do they do monitors for round about this price range then?

Wasn't really looking for one (two actually!), but seen the price tag and really like the idea of 2 new matching ones now lol

I've been using Viewsonic VA2216W4 TFT's for years Tom. I only recently purchase another one to go with the existing one.

I've now owned 4 of them in total over the last 6 years ish. They are fantastic TFT's, and I seriously recommend Viewsonic to anyone.

There warranties are good too, with standard 3 year warranties.

Doh silly me never realised it's a TFT. My last ones have all been LCD's- what's the difference in simple terms?

I've no idea! Lol. All i know is the viewsonic's are the best screens i've ever used. I wouldn't buy anything else ever again now. I'm that impressed with them.

[Tom]

I'll do a bit of reading about them in that case. Never had a TFT before lol.

I'm guessing you can't watch TV on them? Only for PC use?

TFT is a type of LCD monitor, basically the type that virtually all modern LCD monitors are. Thin-film transistor, or active matrix, which allows it better contrast and viewing angles than passive-matrix LCDs, which is what 1990s-era LCD monitors used, and what is used for LCD clocks and the like.
To be perfectly honest, I would advise against a LCD monitor for anything requiring color accuracy. The fluorescent backlight cannot produce precise wavelengths of light that consistently correspond with what the liquid crystals can block or let through, so as a result some colors may be distorted slightly, and most importantly the contrast is limited (true black cannot be achieved).
