ViewSonic VX2467-MHD 24 Inch 1080p Gaming Monitor with 75Hz, 1ms, Ultra-Thin Bezels, FreeSync, Eye Care, HDMI, VGA, and DP

absolutely love the monitor

I bought this because I needed a monitor, any monitor, to use with a couple of devices with HDMI output. This monitor has overall done a good job for the price, but it has some quirks that you should know about before choosing it. Pros: * Works. No dead pixels. * Reasonably fast to wake up. * The 2 button is a one-press shortcut to switch inputs. * Power supply is internal (no brick on the floor). Cons and quirks: * No built-in USB hub. * The onscreen menu is handled by four buttons in a row: 1 2 ↓ ↑, where 1 is usually back/exit and 2 is usually select. Its slightly tricky to remember which button to push, all of the ranged controls (like brightness/contrast) have to be selected and then changed and it doesnt display this clearly, and the Memory Recall function, which resets all settings, is in the main menu and has no confirmation so its easy to press by accident. * Occasionally has a blip of static a couple seconds after switching source (not recurring, so not really a problem). * Cannot be easily made dim enough for comfortable night-time use; there isnt much brightness range and what there is is tedious to adjust. * Stand has only a tilt adjustment. (When vertical, the height from the tabletop to the bottom edge of the image is 12 cm or 4.5 inches.) * When I connected it to a BeagleBone Black running Linux in text mode, the image was shifted downward about five pixels, so that the bottom line of text is partly cut off (cant see the cursor underscore). This may be a quirk of the BBB, or it may be that the monitor has trouble correctly aligning images which are solid black on the top and bottom edges (wouldnt think that would be a problem in pure digital inputs, though). Mixed-bag notes: * The clear plastic ring at the bottom center is a giant blue power light. It can be disabled in the menu. But it turns amber in sleep mode and this cannot be disabled. * Automatically tries other sources when one goes away. So if you have two computers connected and you put one to sleep itll display the other one, which is convenient. On the other hand, its terrible if you have, say, a Chromecast plugged in to the HDMI port (which *always* provides a signal). This function cannot be disabled. Complete list of ports on the back: * AC power in * Line audio out * Headphones out * HDMI in * DVI in * VGA in

I read the reviews about it being bright, which for me was a selling point as my old monitor was not very bright at all. In fact you had to have the brightness clear up to be able to see anything. Not sure if my old monitor was always like that as it is now 10 years old maybe even older. Any way the video quality on this is amazing compared to the old monitor. I mean things look clear and crisp. Major improvement. Then again I said the same thing when I went from a crt to that old monitor. The monitor is bright but as I said that was why I bought it. However I was not expecting it to be this bight. I have to turn the brightness and contrast down to 5 just to get it to where I want it. Still brighter then the highest setting on my old monitor but I like it at this setting so it works. My laptop screen is actually the same way. Although on my laptop I have to turn it all the way off and that is only a year old. Speaking of which there is not all that much difference between my laptop screen and this monitor except for the size so I wonder if Lenovo gets their screens made by viewsonic. Not that it is that big a deal if they do or dont. Oh and if you are wondering why I bought this brand over any other brand it is because I have had 0 issues with viewsonic and even with the brightness being so high I still give it 5 out of 5 stars. Also it uses less then half the power of my old monitor.so it will pay for it self in a short time.

I bought this monitor about a year ago, a year and two months to be exact. I looked at the reviews, and thought this look like an excellent monitor for $200!(that was the price when I bought it at the time) So i went ahead and bought the monitor. It arrived, and it was straight away plugged into my old computer. It looked great. Good to the point where it needed almost no color correction, right out of the box. Then a couple months went by, and Im still using the monitor. Then it happens. Suddenly black, nothing. I thought my computer just quit on me. I looked at my mouse and keyboard, but the lights were still on. After about five minutes of trying to figure it out, I found that the power cable was loose. Great. so now every time your desk moves a little bit, the connection will cut out. Power is gone. That is annoying, so I eventually just taped the power cord to the monitor, which works. Now on to my second complaint, everything look sharp, text, pictures, and even video game, on this monitor. Except one thing... videos. The videos on this monitor look atrocious, absolutely horrible. And i know for fact that it isnt my internet quality. Its just that this screen is terrible, and I mean TERRIBLE, for watching videos. I dont know why, but it looks like it is streaming at 144p. Which is unacceptable.Other than those tow extremely annoying things, it does what it is supposed to do. I only wish that the power cord and videos were like other monitors. IF those were fine, and it everything was good, I might have bought another monitor from View Sonic. But that is not the cae, next time I will be shopping and buying, from different companies.

To put this review into perspective, I purchased this monitor to replace a 6 year old HP LP2065 20 LCD monitor which is not HDCP compliant. On installing this monitor, I noted that the image was bright and lacking in contrast. Brightness and contrast are adjustable in the manual mode in the menu. Adjustments made the image better, but was still lacking in black level performance. Fine text was definitely softer than that on the HP monitor. When scrolling text, a yellow smear was visible trailing the text. This effect was mostly eliminated when switching to the Game mode. However, switching to this mode sets the brightness and contrast to fixed values. They are no longer manually adjustable. I had attended a wedding and took pictures with my digital camera. I processed the raw files and adjusted them the best I could based on the monitors image. I had trouble getting them to look right. The color accuracy of this monitor is definitely sub-par. When I printed some of these pictures, they were dark and dull looking, not at all how they looked on the screen. I put back the old HP monitor and looked at the processed images. They were dark and dull on the screen, exactly how they printed. I reprocessed the raw files and now have good looking prints. At this point, I packed up the monitor for return. It cost me just under $15 to ship it back. Lesson learned. Here is a summary: Pros HDCP compliant Inexpensive Light weight Bright image No hot or dead pixels Good horizontal viewing angle Comes with a complete set of cables Cons No height adjustment Mediocre black level Poor vertical viewing angle Inaccurate colors Scroll smear Very limited image adjustments Unsuitable for photographic image processing Soft fine text This monitor would be suitable for non image critical applications or gaming where its fast response and bright image would be a plus. As for me, Ill be shopping for something better.

I already own a Viewsonic monitor and this is the second one Ive purchased because I use two monitors with my desktop PC. An old Dell monitor I used for the second one finally zapped out, so I decided to go with the same Viewsonic brand. I gave this monitor four stars because the screen on the original one has lost its brightness and now has a hazy look. I tried all the settings to correct it, but nothing worked yet. Im hoping the new one wont experience the same thing. Overall I really like this monitor.

I really like this monitor. I needed a monitor with integrated speaker, because I dont have external speakers with my computer (and I dont want them). So I was concerned when I read some of the reviews that said the sound was not good. I havent found that to be the case at all. In fact, I think the sound is a bit better than my old monitor. I did discover that the factory setting was only at 50%, but I raised it up to 100% with the button on the bottom of the monitor, and of course I can still adjust the sound in the normal way with the speaker icon, so Im happy with the sound. Im also happy with the size of the monitor and with the image clarity, etc. And setting it up was super easy, which is important to me, because Im no techie. So this monitor is working out very well for me. Glad I bought it.

Update 2: Submitted the paperwork required to get it replaced via ViewSonic warranty program. The process required several emails back and forth and was kinda confusing but overall, ViewSonic reps were quick to respond to my emails and answer my questions. They sent me a new monitor and then I used the same box and packaging to return the old monitor. The only part that made me uneasy was that they require your cc number incase you do not return the old monitor or if they decide it is not covered under warranty (which is understandable). However, what bothered me is they never acknowledged that they received the new monitor. Tracking clearly said they got it but after several emails, they never would admit that they got it and I was in the clear. All I want is closure and a statement that the process is complete (and my card will not be charged). All in all though, I am happy with my new monitor and very happy that they followed through on their warranty. It seems that most companies find any excuse to not follow through. Update: Submitted a RMA request as instructed by the manufacturer and am currently waiting to hear back. Great monitor for the price, however, within a month of having it, a cluster of pixels have died in the center of the monitor, leaving an obnoxious white spot that you cant get rid of. Considering how fast it appeared, I imagine more will be on their way out soon.

My dad has this monitor for the computer in the house. I use to LOVE using his computer over mine until I made the same purchase myself. My dad has a really good computer guy ($140.00/hour). He does amazing work, but of course I can’t afford him. I’ve had amazon for years, so I try to get all of my items from Amazon vs. dealing with a direct person or going to a store. I found this on amazing, and the best part was that it was cheaper here than with my dads computer guy and with the free 2-day shipping. I actually think it was free 1-day shipping. I love that the buttons to run off are easy to use. I like how the light goes on when you turn the monitor on and goes away when it’s being turned off. The quality of the screen is very good. I would highly recommend this.

I was really torn reading all the mixed reviews, but I got greedy wanting the best features for a low price. So heres the scoop... Lets start with video playback. I loaded a 1080p copy of a pixar film and it was drop dead gorgeous, and the viewing angel is amazingly clear at wide angles! I could not test the 4k because my pc does not output 4k.. ok, now for the negatives. 2ms response time leaves bright yellow trails on fast moving items in games. I HAD to turn it back to 5ms for good looking gameplay. The only possible use of the 2ms response use might be in an audio recording rig. The picture quality does take tinkering, but even after dialing it in theres ever so slight of an overexposed brightness, and the right edge of the screen has a hint of grey fade but you REALLY have to have a good eye to see these 2 flaws, still yet they do exist. The stand... omg this stand.. I hate this peg-post single screw stand. Yes it tilts, but even as I write this review each keypress can be seen in a jiggle of the monitor, very distracting. Almost immediatly wanted to box it back up. This monitor WILL reqire an aftermarket stand, bracket, or wall mount. Oh, and keep those desktop speakers handy. You will be using them instead of these that are built in. Overall I have already got my return label, and will give it the remainder of 30 days before deciding if I want to buy a stand, and live with the slight overexposure. The only reason its not already in the box is because video looks sooo good on it. I do feel a bit fooled by the price though as Ill have to buy a stand, and Ill never see the advantage of the 2ms response time. If I return it Ill be looking for something with 5ms, no built in speakers, no 4k. Maybe given those criteria I can save a further $40. Pros Gorgeous Video! All input types/cables included (no HDMI cable) Accessible buttons, and you CAN force the power light off Screen does tilt back a bit Can be returned within 30 days Cons The included stand is a total fail, no support 2ms response time unusable in games/daily use Very, very, slight overexposure remains after tweeking also a very light grey fade along the right edge of screen
